FWIW... Kawi's are off, too.  I had mine "checked" last weekend.  Speedo said 90...  LEO said 83.6....   :annoy: :duh: :roll:

So, you're finding those officer's to be quite friendly and helpful as well huh?  :annoy:

I haven't found any yet that would be nice enough to tell me how fast I was going . . . yet.

I was 7.7 % off on my '07 Bandit 1250S. Put a speedo healer on and set it to -7.7 and it's right on with my GPS. The ometer is a bit slow now. ;-). Brings down yur fuel mileage calculations. ;-(   sigh!  This was done with about 500 miles on the rear tire so it was still pretty new on diameter.

I haven't found a bike yet with a accurate speedo. Every one I've ever had was 5 to 10% or so off over 60mph.
Look at the bright side....might save you a ticket!   :beers:
