I have an '03 636. The speedometer is 5 mph off maybe 6. Can the digital speedo be adjusted or am I going to have to live with it? It reads 80, 81 when I am doing 75 mph.

Almost every motorcycle ever built has a speedo that registers slightly more than what is being done. Usually they are in the 5-10% range.

Nothing to really correct this. But hey your usually doing WAY over the speed limit anyways

You got the right Zippy.[]

Yea the bike manufacturers do it on purpose..
Main reason is they want to be absolutely sure its not reading less then actual, since that would leave them open to all sorts of lawsuits..
Second it impresses people when they look down and see 170mph, even though its probobly only 160
