When I bought my '13 the speedo was out to lunch. I bought and installed a Healtech speedo healer and fixed it . Install is quite simple and so is setting it up. When I see a cruiser up ahead I want to know how fast I'm going.... Not do math.

Interesting. Was your speedo just off by a few MPH or completely hosed?GOLDWING AND F6B MAINTENANCE VIDEOS

I thought that was fixed with the 2012 models. Mine is spot on.GOLDWING AND F6B MAINTENANCE VIDEOS

Pretty sure I read somewhere that the speedo and odometer were off by different amounts. So fixing the speedo doesn't fix the odometer, although I read it on the internet- you can never trust that place.

Because of this issue I never look at the speedometer on my 08 (or the 03 before it). My eyes are trained to go to the current speed on the Garmin.2008 Red GW1800 -- NRA Life Member - American Legion PUFL, American Legion Riders

I do the same. I think it's easier. BTW, my '02 is off by 5% at 60MPH (speedo reads 63).

My 08 is ~4 off as well. I've used the GPS for the actual speed for so long I don't even notice the speedometer anymore.2008 Red GW1800 -- NRA Life Member - American Legion PUFL, American Legion Riders

by gug1953The speedometer on this bike is the most accurate I have ever had on a motorcycle. Maybe that GPS signal icon on the dash is behind it. I hooked up my Garmin to the bike yesterday and tested it in multiple...
