My 01 Yamaha R6 speedometer seems to read higher than I'm actually travelling. I'm on the highway and my speedometer will be reading 140 km/h and cars are keeping up and passing me. Typically in my car on the same highway if I was going that fast I'd be passing everyone. It's happened several times so it can't be all a coincidentplease advise

Most likely you have a bad sensor indicating a speed that is incorrect. Unfortunately you probably need to have it fixed at a shop or learn to know your exact speed from the tach and gear you are in.

Sounds like the speedometer is faulty. If the speed sensor were the problem, the odometer would not work correctly, the transmission would not shift correctly, and the check engine light would be on.
I would suspect you have a faulty electronic speedo head, have the cluster removed and have it sent out for repair of the problem. There is no at home repair procedure for this problem, it takes special equip to repair the speedo.
unfortunatey you may not be able to fix this, speedos generally run from a sensor or cable at the front axle, and rely on the rotating wheel, and are not generally able to be calibrated. An instrument tech amy be able to do something if your model?? has an electronic speedo, but the reading can change with different tyre sizes, and even slightly as the tyre wears
