Fellas, my speedometer is off by at least five miles an hour. Can this thing be adjusted?
let me know if it can be adjusted. I would be mighty grateful.

They have a speedo healer for you bike that will fix that. I don't use one.

Your bike was already at least 5 mph off before you put the car tire on!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mine was off 10% with the Dunlop, 13% with the 165/80R15 and 19% with the 1800 Rear drive. Speedohealer was a must.

Ya, I know of one thing that will fix the accuracy of your speedo; a Yellow Box
Speedometer adjustment? Yb_headerhttp://www.yellr.com/
It runs $100, and I guess that you would calibrate it with a watch or a gps. Cool

I know, Steve and I got stopped on Christmas Eve outside Dallas. I was following Steve. Now you know they're being picky Laughing . He saw that we were old (gotta be the reason) and let us go with a warning. Very Happy
