Hey prodigit, you are most welcome for the info.

On my Evo, speedo is right on the dot, verified by GPS.

You asked whether any upgrades were necessary. Not really, they were all preventative maintenance to bring the quality of my Evo closer to the Japanese scooters. I replaced the parts that tend to fail and leave you stranded. Since Rolling Wrench went ahead and did the upgrades for me during the PDI, I didn't get to see the stock version running, but I'm sure it would have been just fine out of the box.

P.S. Stock vacuum/fuel hoses (and valve stems for that matter) on the Taotaos are prone to dry rot after a few months of use according to pros at Rolling Wrench in Denver, who see this problem all the time.

Thanks for the tips on LED tail light and spark plug gapping! I'll keep you posted on performance after I have my Evo broken in.
