Tenere 700 Speedometer & Odometer Accuracy vs GPS
My Tenere 700 speedometer indicates speed approximately +8 to +10% (allowable by industry regulations) above actual speed depending on tire & wear vs phone GPS, however the odometer is more accurate & within 1-2% of GPS readings & road mileage markers on level ground (industry regulations require more accuracy of odometers). The Tenere 700 utilizes the front ABS ring for input, however, the bike's electronics likely apply different computations for speed & odometer.
ABS Ring Correction
Sensor input for speed, & likely odometer, are determined from the front wheel ABS sensor ring. ABS rings with 42 slots (oem = 46 slots) are available to adjust speed display lower by approximately 10%, however, will likely adjust the odometer lower by the same 10% compensation & lower than actual mileage. Both front & rear ABS rings should be changed to ensure correct ABS operation & prevent error codes. The Tenere 700 likely uses different computations for speed & odometer display, despite receiving input from the same sensor. Most automotive regulations do not permit odometer readings lower than actual.
