SpeedoDRD vs Speedohealer (or others)

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.

so you can't correct both the speedo and the odometer it has to be one or the other,correct?

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.

Happy with the 12 oClock labs for my WR250R

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...

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...
