Please pop a screen shot on ...so we can understand your question. The speed is obtained from the GPS itself . No link from the bike's speedo.
You need to ste it as to what it displays
in settings you can alter the display type and then if you press on one of the items displayed you can then decide what is actually displayed in that position
It is difficult to tell you how to do this without having one to hand

A vehicle's speed on a Nav V is displayed in separate two ways:
1. On the dashboard, where the current speed of the bike is displayed alongside what Garmin believes is the speed limit. If you exceed the limit, the bike's speed turns to red. On the continent, you can leave the unit alone, as it will adjust automatically. For instance, a 50 kph limit will display as 31 mph. This saves bikermates the angst of changing their instruments or calculating a number in their head as they hoon their awesome steeds. On an unlimited German autobahn, the display of the road's limit vanishes, leaving you with just the vehicle's current speed. Obvious to see why.
The display is always present on the dashboard, irrespective of other settings.
2. On the screen itself, when running a route. Sometimes this display vanishes, I have no idea why. Maybe because Garmin does not know the road's speed limit? Maybe it just gets bored?

Thanks for all the replies, to put a bit more meat on the bone....... i have the speed shown on the bottom RHS of the dashboard but it does not register any speed (GPS), the GPS is fine as im able to navigate to a route or just viewing the map, the other thing that appears not to be working as the compass stays on North? i only picked it up on Friday and had one run on Saturday
