I'm about to regear my new-to-me WR and I am trying to decide which speedometer calibrator to use. I don't care too much about price, but I am interested in ease of use and functionality. Installation seems fairly straightforward and common to both units. Are there any attributes that make one preferable over the other?

I have searched and could not find the info I want.

I have only used the 12oclock labs one. It takes about 1min to reprogram, including removing the seat. Super easy and straight forward.

so as far as I understand with the 120'clock labs speedo healer you can correct either your odometer or your speedo.is there a way to correct both ?

No, the relationship between the speedometer and the odometer is fixed, and not accurate. I have installed the SpeedoDRD and calibrated my speedometer. The odometer is about 9% low. I can live with that.

I was under the impression that these "tools" modify the the signal from the speed sensor. This should affect the speedometer and odometer in the same way.

I believe the speedohealer has two calibrations that you can recall. This would be a nice feature for anyone with two sets of wheels or two sprockets etc.

Has anyone used both of them? Or the speedohealer? I'd appreciate any feedback as I too am looking for one of these.

Is this because Yamaha likely indicates the speed 9% higher than actual? (liability)?

I don't know why, but it's stupid.

Correct.

If getting speeding tickets really ruins your day - fix the speedometer.

If knowing exact distance traveled is a higher concern - fix the odometer.

If you absolutely HAVE to know both - buy a GPS.


Most people that ride on the street are far more concerned with speeding tickets and the like.

The odometer being slightly off is of no concern what-so-ever.

I have a SpeedoHealer brand. It is pretty simple to use, but to be honest I haven't messed with it since I bought the bike. I should recalibrate my speed since changing rear tires, but I've been too lazy... Very happy

It has a button that you push to change the calibration %. That's it. I think it has a few memory settings too, so you can quickly switch between wheel sets. Or just remember what value each wheel set should be...
