85mph speedo to 140mph

Hey guys.
How do i recalibrate my new 140mph speedo to read properly.
It still sweeps like my old 85mph speedo.

Not sure about "sweeps"... but no recalibration is required.

Doesn't matter what the #s on the dial are, they're still both 1000 revs of the cable per mile. I.e. 1000 RPM on the cable = 60 mph.

Yeah, 1001rpm @ 60 is the calibration standard.

If you bought it used, call them on it.
