Nah the speedo healer corrects the MPH or KPH in your case back to being accurate. The reason being is the bike calculates this based off (i believe) the sprockets and when you gear them it changes what the bike perceives the speed to be. I gear mine +2 rear teeth to add acceleration and lower my top speed. It also meant that at 65 MPH my bike would read like 71 MPH. You can program to the speedo healer to show that your bike is back at 65 MPH which also means your milage will be accurate again because with your MPH off that means your milage will increase faster than it really is. You might go for a 500 KM ride but your bike will read 700KM. The speedo healer will fix all this.

Sport bikes come with a calibrated error in speedos. I have no clue why but all our speedos read 5-7% high from the factory. Mileage is always dead accurate from the factory though. They call it a calibrated error and it is intentional. When you set the speedo healer, make sure they keep the calibrated error in otherwise your milage won't read correct. I kept my error from the factory because I didn't want my milage to come on faster and show more miles than true.
