Chances are the recall has not been done. Just call your local dealer and they will run the vin to see if it has be done. If you still have not done this, this is good, b/c when they replace your speedo, the whole unit is replaced and there is no way for them to put the actual miles of the bike onto the new speedo. I now have 2800 miles on my bike that really has 16,000k. Get the mileage back up to where it was when you registered it and sell it like you never even rode it. JUST KIDDING, no but really.
