79 CB650 Speedometer Out of Whack - Any Fixes?

Greetings

I just bought a '79 CB650 and I just checked with my GPS and the speedometer
is a tad on the fast side. If I am at 80 km/hr, the speedometer reads 95
km/hr. Is there a fix, or should I just make other marks on the face of the
dial?

Any advice would be appreciated.

You could check the front tire/wheel to ensure that they are the correct
size for the bike. Then you could get into trying to fit the bike with the
correct speedo gear mounted on the wheel for your specific tire size. Or....
You could just live with it, and ride accordingly. I think it's better that
the speedo reads too high, and not too low. It might be easier to avoid a
ticket.
