GPS.................

I have used a Garmin GPS to see what the difference is, with 30" on my Vit the speedo is out by 8klms at 100klms.

not as far as I am aware, but a good speedo shop will sell you a ratio box that will correct he speedo.

It depends why you are doing it. If it is for an engineers cert, you will need the ratio box. If it is for your own use, buy a cheap GPS and stick it on the dash, then you won't get lost and wont be speeding.

My guess is that you will change tyres again eventually and the ratio box will be wrong again. a GPS is always right!

Go to http://www.suzukiinfo.com/sierra download the guage templates that are calibrated for 31".
Adjust the design if you dont like them then get them printed on a sticker. You will be a fraction underspeed but all good.
A cheap fix.
