I GPS'd my bike today. The speedo is way off. Like 30 MPH off. 80 MPH indicated is about 55 MPH GPS. How do I get it somewhat closer?

Is it a digital speedometer? Is it set to KPH? If it's a digital speedo then you can use the SpeedoDRD-U1 to calibrate it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/SUZUKI-2014...item3f652c035a

Mechanical. I'm thinking of calling the dealer I got this bike from or saying f-it and get the Samdo cluster that is mentioned in this thread a few times.

Is the odometer accurate then? It sounds like it's too far off to be an issue of a KPH setup vs. MPH setup, but it is possible. The 2013 cluster had mph and KPH. On my SSR the speedo was pretty accurate but the odometer was off by about 10%.

I would start with the easy stuff, unscrew and clean the speedometer cable ends and reinstall. Ensure the cable end is properly seated inside the gauge cluster, that is goes strait up and in the back of the cluster, and is not angled.

I'm not sure if the odometer is accurate or not. It doesn't seem to be now that I think about it. Mine has a very similar speedometer to the older bikes as far as I can tell.

I'll try all that. I'm at work with my bike right now so I have all sorts of tools to do everything. Lol.

I was looking at my bike trying to figure out how the speedo cable comes out the drive at the hub and noticed grease leaking from the speedo drive on the hub. Is this an issue that needs to be addressed too?

Also just got off the phone with the dealer. Apparently they have replaced a few speedos on these bikes for the same issue and have not been able to fix it... I feel like that is complete bs... I think it's time to fix it on my own.
