Default speedo problem

Got my bike on the road today
But at 80 km hr roughly 50 mph the speedo is only reading 30 mph
Any ideas what might be no good ?

If the speedo needle starts to bounce around and you notice your turn signals acting up or not self canceling you may have a bad or dirty speed sensor.

If it's dirty all you have to do is pull it and wipe the metal shavings off (its a magnet). If it went bad just pick up a new one for about $60 and replace it.
