I corrected my speedometer error by removing the top cover of windshield, then I removed the seven screws in the speedometer cover. I then turned the needle counterclockwise three clicks. I put it all back together, and had it checked by radar. It was dead on. This was an old trick that I used on several Harley Davidsons that I have owned. I could always get it dead on.
My BMW is a 2005 K1200LT. I don't know if the 04 and older BMW speedometer covers can be removed or not. The 05 is the only one that I
have had experience with. Be very careful if you try this. I turned the needle by grasping it at the ball part of the needle. I made one mistake and had to go back clockwise. If you do this you will have to lift the end of the needle over the peg, but it will not break. The needle will rest with key off to the right of the zero. If you try this and have trouble you can e-mail me at [email protected]
PS. It took me approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
