Default Speedo re-calibratition
I just did the 30/70 pulley swap and would like to recalibrate the speedo. Is a tuner required? I dont want to make any tuning changes, just adjust the speedo.
(and that isnt even that important to me) If there was a shortcut, or someone nearby who had one and was running low on carbohydrate replacement cylinders...

Pretty sure the speedo cal is in the tune tables, so even though you're not planning on tuning it will still require a tuner which will marry to your ecm.

What he said, and not all of them will correct the speedo. Break out that wallet.

I'm in just to hear what a carbohydrate replacement cylinder is.

My guess is beer.

No short cuts, regardless how much beer there is.
You may not care what the speedo reads, but it will also affect your odometer readout. If my logic is correct it will add fake miles to the bike. If I'm wrong I hope someone will chime in.

Dealer should be able to do it without a tuner. They'd hopefully either do it for free or charge like 1/2 hour shop rate at most. I had to take mine in for them to program the brake lights and they did it for free, ymmv at your dealer though.
