When the engine is revved up while on the side stand, vibrations are sent through the entire motorcycle.This vibration intensity varies from bike to bike. This vibration can cause particular movement between the wheel speed sensor and the sensor ringsdepending on the position of the sensor to the ring. The movement is picked up as rotation speed and iscalled ghost speed. This ghost speed follows the increase in RPMs. 5000 RPM = approx. 12 MPH 10000 RPM = approx. 31 MPH
