speedo

I just bought my first wr250x, speedo is FAR off, 1st gear says up 68 mph, cruising speed its says 160, any ideas or known problemswith this?

is the speed reading 3x the actual speed?

if so, it has happened to others before. something involving running the battery flat or a battery change.

search the forums. you should find something

Yep sounds about right, when I got it the ground bolt on battery was missing and was replaced with a zip tie, figure it lost connection at some point, the guy I got it from was a collage dumb a**, go figure

Loose battery terminal did the same to mine. I already had a speedodrd installed to correct the speedo error after changing sprockets. The speedodrd has a function where you can multiply or divide the signal by any number between 0 and 99. Dividing by 2.5 got me within 10%. A new gauge cluster is supposed to fix it also, but I've never heard that confirmed. New gauges run $280 or so. Speedodrd is about 90. I have not found a downside to it yet.

Speedodrd? Where can you find one? I've never heard of it

12 O'clock labs makes them. They are a nice alternative to a speedohealer. Plug play install. A little hard to adjust at first because there is a single button and a couple flashing LEDs for controls.

i've got the 12o'clock Labs speedo healer and it works great...once you learn it, set it and forget it....good for when you change sprocket size/ratio or different tires.......or fixing the "stock" error...

Can you get it straight from them or so you have to go through a dealer?

Yes, buy it direct from them. Good customer service. Just Google 12O'clock labs.

Gd lookin out jgia!!!
