what exactly do you have to know and put into one of these devices to get them to work?

thats what i'm trying to figure out to
After my gearing change I'm actually considering one now and would like to get some info myself. I noticed this evening that when I passed the radar sign it said I was going 41 and the speedo said 50.

I installed the spedoDRD from 12 oclock labs. Simply unplug a connector
and plug the spedoDRD in series. Turn it on and program the percentage
error. Took about 20 minutes.

I have a GPS and mount it to my bike. My bike is stock and the speedo is fast by 3-4 MPH at 55 MPH. The MPH difference increases as I go faster after 55. If you have a GPS you can mount it to your bike to see how far your bike is off so you can program the % difference correctly.

semi-related...can a speedo healer turn a euro bike (kmph) into US (MPH)? would you just have to get the programmed percentage correct?

Are you just wanting the speedo to change from kmh to mph?
If that's what you're looking for just hold the select button and it should change units, I know it does on the US bikes at least, idk why it wouldn't on the euro bikes.
If that wasn't your question well disregard me

Yes it will convert from kilometers per hour to miles per hour.
They have a very good website that explains it all. Just Google it.

So I ordered a speedo healer and I need to get it installed. Anyone know the percentage off their bike was with just a -1 front gear change? I know it's 10% off stock. I think it's about 20% with the 15 tooth front sprocket but I haven't ridden with by enough radar signs to get a good accurate idea. I was going to mount my GPS on the tank and see if I can get a good accurate reading that way. But if someone already has a number for me to plug into the healer so I don't have to try and compare two numbers while I'm riding I'd appreciate it.

I'm new to riding and bought my first bike, which is obviously an FZ6R.
The guy I bought it off told me that he had the front sprocket changed from the stock one to one with 14 teeth.
He basically told me the speedo is about 10km/h above the speed you're actually doing. So if it says 60, I'm really doing 50.
I was always a little concerned with this, he seemed to be just guessing - Would this be an accurate assumption?
I was wondering if there was a simple solution that would let me fix the speedo and have it display the right speed.
I take it this Speedo Healer or SpeedoDRD devices would be the best options, or are there better options out there?

I just did a -1 front, about -7.7% to 9.2% (I chose -7.7) off, I used the 12 O'clock labs SpeedoDRD, nice product and worked great, simple and easy to install.
Nice and tiny and water proof to boot. 2 Thumbs up :thumbup::thumbup:
Man does a -1 do wonders for the bike. Feels like it should now, lots of torque. Woo-hoo!

Does SpeedoDRD impact the odometer too? I have noticed my odometer is off 1-2% and the speedo is off 7-8%. Are the two meters independent?

% off
Yamaha probably built in the speed difference to keep us from going to fast
what I really want is a gear indicator. I hate pulling up to a stop and then getting ready to go only to discover im in 2nd not first.

I have the SpeedoDRD. Simple to install and cheap. I used a GPS to calibrate and, after spending way too much time, settled on -7.0% for stock gearing. The speedometer reads perfectly now, but I bet the odometer reads low. It retains your highest speed which you can later display on the bike's speedometer. That can be fun after certain rides.

I have the gear indicator (by same ppl who make the speedo-healer), it works great when moving.
Unfortunately, at a light it is useless. The clutch needs to be engaged for it to tell what gear your in. Otherwise just sits there w/ a ' - - ' on screen.
Still have to make sure your in 1st manually.

Wow thanks for that info. That the healtech gi-pro thing or whatever its called? they forget to mention that it doesn't work in neutral or when the clutch is in on the adviertisments! glad i didn't drop 130 on that.

I am pretty sure that is how all of them work. They go based on what is "learned". They need to be programmed. Honestly, there is nothing better than just paying attention to the gear that you are in at all times. Being aware is a constant need on a motorcycle.
