I rode my motorcycle yesterday, my Fitbit recorded that I took 27,000 steps and rode a bicycle six times. I’ve also had situations where I know exactly how many steps I walked and My Fitbit recorded almost 1500 more. How can I adjust settings to have an accurate reading?

@Willc17 Welcome! Thanks for being part of our Community! Sorry for the delay in my reply.
Let me help you with your Inspire HR counting steps while riding your motorcycle. Your device will detect the movement on your arm and translate that movement into steps. There are situations in which your arm may move but you won't be actually walking. For example, this may happen when you are playing the drums, burping a baby or clapping. It can also happen while driving. You can negate these steps by logging a driving activity. You can try wearing your device on your non dominant hand but select that hand as dominant on the device’s settings to make it less sensitive to movement.
Let me know how it goes.

I have a similar situation with my Versa. Last night it recorded 26k steps while being charged.
