Speedometer Error/Correction

List your issues with speedometers here.

YamWOW!

my speedo is about 5 mph off, i have checked it with the wifes car and with a garmin gps, i called my local yamaha shop, and they claim that nothing can be done about it.

Someone on SMJ posted about a WR250R/X speedo corrector they found on Ebay for $55. It was sold but I contacted the seller. He's waiting for more connectors before building more but he sent me instructions and a link to a Youtube video on how to set it. Look like a good product. I'll buy one to be the guinea pig and I'll post back with a review. I'll post the link to the video when I get home tonight.

I feel based on other vehicles that my speedo is 20% out. I'm running 13/48 gearing. $100 is a lot for the healer, but by the time I do the mental math... let's see, that times 2, divide by ten, carry the one, yadda yadda, oh shit there's the radar trap!

Mind you, the big number sure makes you THINK you're going fast.

I agree $100 is a lot but I can stomach $55 much better. And besides, our exchange rate is getting better these days.

today I just bought the SpeedoHealer, but only Version 3 as the shop is having a promotion...

anyway, it was PITA to install because they only had the universal connector

and the worst part was that after installation, it DID NOT work!

Not even the input/output test... No red light no nothing... dead

After struggling with it for the whole night, I realised that somehow the SH3 was not getting enough juice to power itself up from the connectors...

So, I connect the power wire to the battery, and it just decided to WORK!

And according to the online calculator, I am off by 6.7%... so I will give it a try tomorrow and see how it goes

Hey is there anyway you could prove us with the instructions and the link to the Youtube video? If you could that would be Great.

Went to 47T sprocket and my odometer is about %15 off. The motor seems to like the new gearing, but the odo error is just too high, and I agree that a speedo healer's price tag is also too high. Thinking of leaving the 47T and going to a 14T front to help with the odo error, but will lose most of the benefit of the rear sprocket. Sucks.
