That's pretty normal. You're lucky yours only reads 10 over!

Yep, pretty much!
My 08 R6 brand new was 18km/h higher at a real speed of 120 (so when I was really doing 120 my speedo said 138!).
Speedo healer FTW :)

Don't take the other cars speed-o as correct either. Those are usually off as well. Borrow someone's GPS and calibrate it off of that speed reading.

have the gears or tires been changed from stock?

What type of bike are we talking about here. Some speedometers are electronically operated, others are mechanical by cable from the front wheel. If it is electronic then you can do the Speedohealer provided that there is an adapter kit for the bike in question. If it is cable, then you are just going to have to deal with it.

i just installed this on my gsxr-600
(previous owner changed the sprockets)
http://www.speedodrd.com/
great product similar to the speedo healer, except smaller! easy to program
Re: Speedometer reads higher !!! any suggestions ?
I am under the impression these devices will throw off the odometer while fixing the speedometer. Any insights?

Changing from stock gearing will throw of your speedo and odometer. The devices will help calibrate both of them back to reading correctly.

I did not mean gearing. I meant SpeedoHealer and SpeedoDRD devices. My understanding is that the signal comes from a single source, a wheel speed indicator, which is then translated into a speedometer reading via simple math. Since that signal doesn't seem to be interrupted in any of these devices, then split off and calculated separately by the ECU, I fail to see how one can change just the speedometer reading without affecting the odometer value itself.
Are you 100% SURE they calibrate BOTH speedometer AND odometer to correct values? If so, can you provide evidence, for I have testimony to the contrary.
