[NoFuLlOpTiOn]

your clutch is slipping.

Adam -

I was under the assumption that the speedometer took front wheel speed as it's measuring point, not engine speed (rpm). I don't think a slipping clutch would effect the speedometer, just rpm.
I personally think that there is a kink in the sensor line somewhere that they can't find. I would tell my dealership to replace the whole line, and Honda saying that they can't figure it out, and letting you go on your way, is not acceptable.

Get a new cluster from dealer? Sounds like something that would be under warrenty.

Take it back to the dealer and don't take no for an answer. If the dealer can't work it out then someone from Honda Belgium should come out to the dealership to work it out.

Being a European CTR owner come and say hi on
