Blitzburgh Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I bought the SpeedoHealer one. Pretty easy to setup and they have an online calc to help you figure everything out. Install on the busa was plug N play with no cutting wires at all..http://www.speedohealer.com/eng/adjust.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC1000rr Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I got a Speedohealer V4 last year w/plug n play harness and had no problem installing it. The hardest part was getting my true speed. I ended up pacing a new Honda Accord with a digital readout and found out I was 7% slower around 65mph. Took the tank cover off, lifted tank up and hooked it all up. Ran the wires along my PC3, the directions they come with are ok and after reading a few times I got it worked out. Used their calculator for the % error to enter and got it set up. Wasn't hard to do at all, but I took my time and did things right the first time.

They aren't as accurate as everyone thinks. When measuring speed, they dont take the characteristics of the road into account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJC1000rr Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 From working with GPS's myself, I can say that they are not as accutate as you would hope. I have driven with different models and they both were off by 2-3mph. It changes due to elevation changes, satallite signal ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Call me old school, I used to just put little narrow bits of red tape on the speedo to show the corrections. Maybe call me cheap, dunno...A stopwatch is the way to go. Calculate your speed. Use the freeway mile markers, they are accurate. Print this out, so when the OSHP stops you for doing 35mph on the freeway, you'll have an excuse. Seriously, there are measured miles for this, that the ODOT provides. I just don't know where any are at anymore. Or even if they still do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35RFTW Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Everything I have read/heard about these seems to be positive about how easy they are to install and to calibrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1Limited Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 A stopwatch is the way to go. Calculate your speed. Use the freeway mile markers, they are accurate. +1Very Nice. Going 60 mph it should take you exactly one minute to travel one mile. Too long and your speedo is too low/ to soon and your speedo is too high!IDK about most of the bikes out there but the R1 has a lap timer that is perfect for this.
