Yes, but the mph and odometer are a single unit so if one is off so is the other. By correcting one or the other it should in theory make them both correct.
At this time the speedo or mph is the only unit that can be corrected thru programing.

Really????? Gas mileage is the last of my concerns when buying a new Harley. The only thing that matters is the number of miles you can travel between fillups while on the open road. Fuel ECONOMY is not a factor.

Let's think about these three statements individually for a moment-

You DO NOT care about gas mileage

You DO care about distance between fillups.

Yet you DO NOT care about fuel economy.

Interesting.

The difference between 38MPH and 42MPH calculates to 24 miles. That can mean the difference between making it to the gas pump, or having a long walk to one.
