R1200CL speedometer accuracy

I just bought a new '04 R1200CL and the only complaint I have so far is that the speedometer seems to run about 10% fast. Has anyone else had this experience and if so, is there a solution?

That is a characteristic of all R1200CL's.

There are three things you can do.

1) Invest in a GPS. Mount it between the handle bars. Fun and expensive, $300+ on up.

2) Attach a bicycle computer, Sigma Sport is a good choice. Cost around $27.00. Aerostich sells them.

3) Live with the bike as is. Cost $0

BTW, nice bike. Great for around town or cross country.
