Analog vs digital speedometer

I have noticed that the analog speedometer and the digital speedometer in the MFD disagree. The analog reads two mph less than the digital. Ha anyone else noticed this.

No, haven't noticed this. They seem to be perfectly calibrated to eachother. But on the other hand, I have the km/h graded analog speedo. Two mph difference? Sounds like the difference between 100 km/h and 60 miles/h. Maybe they did some "rounding" on the mph-graded analog speedo?

On mine, no. The Analog and digital track exactly. I was quite amazed at this precision, actually.

It seem like I am reading about 1-2 mph less on the digital or the analog is off by that much...dont know which one. Last night, I was testing out my top speed on this back country road...digital read 132mph....the analog read 134ish....was in 6th gear....

Mine is off by the exact opposite. At ~ 70 the Analog reads 2mph faster then the Digital.
