Default Speedo reading wrong

Bit of a weird one this...
Did some work on the bike which involved removing the tank (I had to replace the fuel float system).
Followed the correct procedure for purging the fuel system and also the procedure with regards to removing the main fuse.
Did all the work, put everything back together again following the correct procedures including clearing the h codes.
However, now my Speedometer is reading fast - about 20-30mph faster than I'm actually going.
Everything was working fine prior to doing the work.
I've check the diagnostic codes and nothing showing (either current or historic)
Any ideas?
Is there a way to reset it?

Ah yeah, that's my British/English for you
Sussed = realize or grasp (something)
