You can install a Dakota Digital speedo adjuster. It allows you to make the changes by pushing the up or down buttons. New they go for over $100. I have a new one that I never used since I have the TMax that I'll let you have for $75 shipped. PM me if interested.

I couldn't specify&nbsp\\;more because of cookie problem....my entire mileage history will be off because I had pulley changed when the 6 spd was added pre-delivery.
Only noticed difference from doing iron butt with buddy w/ stock bike and mileage fihures were off, meaning speedo is also off as is overall mileage.
Was hoping for module that would read direct instead of 'close' adjustment, unless dakota does that..will check their website &amp\\; call their tech. T/y.

Your previous post mentions to let SubZer0 have it so I sent him a PM with the details. He is sending me a MO for the speedo adjuster.
