Title: Speedo correction device
Post by: Timbo on November 29, 2024, 07:44:21 PM
So i fitted a speedo healer today Very very easy plug and play once you pull the rhs fairing away a bit The connector is just behind the rhs cylinder head below fuel tank
Quick to set the offset in my case -8.3kmh
Works a treat the speedo is bang on accurate checked against 2 gps devices
It even quotes max speed if you wish
I bought it from mototrack accessories
Healtecech V4 module and Sh-Ho1 harness
Price was $160.20

I've had one fitted to my ST for around 5 years... I swear by it!  :thumbs
Just wish I could get one that worked on cars...

Just remember that it changes the odometer as well.

I hope so... :grin

Perhaps you meant the odometer?
I don't mind putting slightly less k's on the ol' ST...

No.2 ST1300 (one the you test rode for me) has a speedo healer, it was spot on too.

Reminds of a former work colleague, he was preparing an argument to Toyota re. the inaccurate odometer (on his then new in 1977 Corona) and the 12/12 warranty running out when the odometer reached 12,000km but the vehicle travelled less.  Don't now remember the km involved, probably 500 or 600.

Might see him at a reunion lunch week, will check the outcome.

I remember at the time I noticed the different revs at an indicated 100kph...  :thumbs

I also know someone who hated there car so bad they conjured a way to hand it back unless it did the fuel economy quoted per sale Well it never did at the corrected speed and the dealer took the car back as they could not fix it
I always rode it to the GPS 3400rpm @100kph this only changes with tyre wear  and pressure
The speedo healer can be changed in+or- 0.0000 increments so if your after exact it can do that
Interesting when you do the max recorded speed it holds the needle at say 110kph the engine is of the bike is on its side stand and the odometer increased slowly as if it was actually doing that speed while it demonstrated top speed

Does thsi also mean we are being ripped of on services and sale value by  8-10% increase on odometer I say hell yes

Tim, since fitting your Speedo Healer have you checked the odometer against a set distance. I was always under the impression that originally the odometer was accurate for the standard tyre at recommended pressure. while the speedometer read high.

Changing it by 0.0000 gives no change  :grin

The instructions says 0.1% or 0.001 changes

Probably!  >:()

Although, with the change to the speedometer Australian Design Rules back in 2006-2007, they did away with any accuracy requirements for an odometer so we really wouldn't have a clue as to how accurate they are from new...  :think1

Interesting, I had never noticed before. Both my wings (solo showing max 180  >:() sidecar 120) went up by 0.2km. Not surprising giving that the speed healer sends a signal to the bike for a short period of time pulsing at a rate to tell the bike that you are travelling at that max speed. Will be interesting to do it for a very small max speed. Shall check the next time the sidecar is out.

Seems I may have been given a bum steer in regard to the info I'd sourced from another website in regard to odometer accuracy... :||||
In my defence I currently have covid brain...  :-[

Anyhow, looking at, what I believe is the relevant ADR...

18.5.2.2.                    Every vehicle of category LC, LD and LEM shall be fitted with an odometer which shall:

18.5.2.2.1.              indicate distance travelled in one kilometre units from 1 to 99,999 kilometres; and

18.5.2.2.2.              indicate the actual distance travelled by the vehicle to an accuracy of + 4 per cent

Cleared the max speed setting then travelled at about 5 kph and checked max speed . Came up with 5 kph but odometer didn't change. 5 kph for a couple of seconds is only about 4 metres, so makes sense.
