Default 09+ speedometer adjustment

Does anyone know of a way to adjust the electronic speedometer on a 09 KLX250s. Mine reads about 11% high?
Would a sensor from a KLX250sm reduce the reading too much?
I found this adjuster online but question if it will work on our bikes.

yeah, my '09 is 10% over all the time (checked by GPS). I think they all are. Think of it as a (no)speeding ticket safety. It's pretty easy to subtract 10% to know how fast you're really going. I wouldn't waste any money to "fix" this issue.

I have used the Speedohealer on my 954RR and VFR800 with great success. They make one specifically for the KLX.

Below about 40mph my spedo is off the other way then as you get above 40-45 it swaps and reads high but it isn't the same throughout the range.

I have this one, 12oClockLabs $79 and it is plug n play for the KLX.
Works perfect. I have had it for over a year now.

I found the p/ns for the speedometer sending unit for KLX250s and KLX250sf are the same, however the meters have different p/ns.
Is it possible there is an adjustment screw inside the meter.
I doubt they build a different meter for the sf. Its probably the same meter, just calibrated differently.
I may go with the 12oclocklabs calibrater, But want to make sure the stock meter is not adjustable first.

I dont think the calibration has anything to do with the difference I think the reason the part# for the meters are different is the SFmodel has blue led backlight and the S model has amber led backlight!

The S has a 21" front wheel and the SF has a 17". Something has to be different.

Maybe thats why they display in different colors, to make it obvious which bike the display is calibrated to.
