I had a speedo shop look at my RS speedo today and he said it cannot be
adjusted. Yours is a little different, but it apparently would take a
circuit board modification.
Changing the front sprocket made no change to your speedometer
accuracy. It was way off before and it still is now. Dropping 2 teeth
in the front raises RPM 10.5% at the same speed. The engine essentially
has a longer lever arm against the road load and now must travel
"further" (faster) to get the job done.
You don't have any more error than you ever did.
