 A few weeks back I asked for info on bicycle speedo for my XII. Since then I purchased the SIGMA BC1606L. I hooked it up on Sat and tried it out. Went around the neighborhood (25-30 MPH). Worked fine. Went out onto US1 and lost the magnet off the wheel before I got up to speed. Frustrated, I found another magnet around the house and put it on yesterday. Got out onto US1 and around the area for about 2 hours. REPORT: The SIGMA worked just fine. More important, my metric speedo works fine on the XII according to the SIGMA. Set the cruise at various speeds up to 70MPH. The SIGMA would vary +/- 1MPH max. Most of the time the difference was maybe .5MPH. As far as I'm concerned, my worries about my accurate speed are over but, my experiment has me pondering another question:

My 95 Voyager XII metric speedo appears to read accurate. I've seen it reported many times here that standard Voyager speedo's commonly run 5-6 MPH slower. Is it possible Kawasaki only changed the face of the speedometer and not the gears on bikes produced for the US?? Metric conversion is approx 6MPH for every 10KPH.

Just curious.
