Default !?!?! this is weird

ok, first off, i just got a new Trail Tech, i went for a ride on my road, i know the lenght is 2/10 of a mile. I rode down it full throttle, just to play with the Speedometer to see what i could get for a speed, the distence was perfect, it said i went 2/10 of a mile, which i did. But, it said my top speed was 95.1! i dont get how the distence was right, but the speed was so high. i know my scrammy cant do 95.1 any help please? I had it set of MPH not kilometers, so im confused. Also, about how fast will my scammy go? Thanks!

I wonder it for a second your tire lifted and spun faster? Dunno? You say that you got a top speed yesterday of 64.1 Sounds right to me. Now this 95.1, that was the recorded "top speed" or was that what the speedo was reading while you were riding?

my tire is programmed right, the distance is exact, if i go 1/10 mile, the Trail Tech says 1/10 mile EXACT. BBS, it was recorded under "Max Speed" i have pics..(lol, i had to have a moment of glory, even tho its not true) it has worked fine for me before and after this "incident" so i dont know what it was trying to do, i think it will work fine from now on, but if i figure it out, i'll let ya know!

P.S.- Hozed that Japanese POS is slower than my Go-Ped.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Probably just a glitch. I wouldnt worry about it unless it starts doing it again. If so, contact Trailtech. They are outstanding people and will go out of their way to make sure you are happy
