I've found that speeds under 50mph, the bike's speedo shows approximately 3 mph higher than actual. Speeds at 65mph or higher are always indicating 5-6 mph higher than actual. Kinda annoying. Any fixes for this?
Fix the speedo you break the odometer.Any fixes for this?
Yes, there is a fix, But....... All Honda motorcycles and most all bikes are about 5 mph off. And to adjust the mph you are also adjusting the odometer and trip odometer, no choice. So one or the other will be off. Sucks.I've found that speeds under 50mph, the bike's speedo shows approximately 3 mph higher than actual.

Not all of them. I've owned several Honda motorcycles with virtually no speedometer error and one is in the garage right now but history does show the ST1300 speedometer to show about 7% error and 2% error in the odometer. I'm almost always riding with a GPS mounted so I use it for speed readings.Yes, there is a fix, But....... All Honda motorcycles and most all bikes are about 5 mph off.

If you'd rather have your odometer read high there are these adjusters on eBay.
Not what you wanted to read, me neither. Good luck bud.
When and if you sell your bike, you would have to sign the "mileage unknown box" on the title (at least in California).Fix the speedo you break the odometer.
What is more your preference?
I installed that unit on my 1300 a year ago, and my buddy's 1300 a couple weeks ago. We're both very happy with it. Now when either of us lead, we're going the actual speed indicated. It was annoying (and dangerous) last year when he would lead, thinking he was going the speed limit, only to get a big build up of vehicles behind us trying to pass. He couldn't quite get it though his head that he was about 5 MPH slow at 65.Cloud-master installed this on my bike last year correction made was 7.1 now my speedo is spot on with the GPS. Easy to install $70
