Speedometer adjustment

[Bozo]

Does anyone know how to adjust the speedometer needle, Mine read 8 / 9 Kph optimistic and its driving me nuts. Is there spring or something I can move to change the reading?

Speed Hut  GPS speedo.   Not the answer you "wanted" but is the answer you "need" if it is driving you nuts.  

Here is one write up - https://fjowners.com/index.php?topic=19804.msg202610#msg202610 - search speedhut speedometer and you should find more.  

There is also a guy known for rebuilding the speedometers - maybe he can make an adjustment?   https://fjowners.com/index.php?topic=20820.msg212126#msg212126

Good luck!

Bozo,

Can't help directly with the instrument. but Amazon has lots of digital GPS speedometers,
and even some that mimic an original swinging-needle gauge.  Digitals are easier to read, for me.
The digitals cost around US$ 25.00 to start, and the price goes to the stars from there.
Some include odometers, and gather other trip data info.  Most run on a GPS cable, with nothing else needed.
Cheaper than an instrument repair.  HTH.

Thanks, I already have speedhut on all 4 bikes but I just wanted my standard FJ to have an original, currently the original is backed up with a GPS Heads Up Display

I use the free DigiHUD Speedometer app for Android.  It is very accurate as I have tested it in multiple vehicles.  It's a cool retro display and is convenient as you can run it in a window while using navigation or whatever else.  It also includes a trip so you can more easily keep track of when your bike is about to run out of gas.

Miker I'm using a HUD at present which shines onto the underside of my screen just above the gauges  but I was hoping to fix the speedo accuracy. The one you pictured looks better than my setup.
