Speedo misaligned Fix??

[vt duc]

Hi All,
I just noticed that the speedo on my 2006 S4R was reading "high" by almost 8+ MPH thru the whole range.  Then I noticed that at "rest" it reads 8 MPH @ a dead stop.  Which is to say it doesn't seem to return to rest at 0 like it should.  Has anyone experienced this and is there a reasonable fix to readjust the gauge needle?

Thanks
Dan

You should feel lucky that it's only 8 mph.  The speedometer on my 888 is off a full 20%.  If it says I'm doing 100, I'm really doing 80.

The only thing I know of is to send it somewhere like Palo Alto Speedometer and have them calibrate it.

This may be a stupid Question.  But are the spedo housings "sealed"??   I thought I could open it up and manually adjust it.

Mine is also wildly optimistic. Does anyone know if the tach is accurate? If so, you could probably work out a correction factor pretty easily.

The only way to get inside is to cut the plastic.
