Speedometer error in motorcycles is a serious problem and beyond simple
gearing changes and/or rear tire size changes, the factory’s inaccuracy is
unfairly increasing mileage readings on vehicles, ultimately hurting values.
There are a number of reasons why speedometer errors in
motorcycles exists:
-
FACTORY
INACCURACY
Stock speedometer calibration in motorcycles direct from the manufacturer
can read 2-10% fast.
-
GEAR, SPROCKET,
TRANSMISSION CHANGES
Gearing changes can trigger inaccurate speedometer readings. Changing
sprockets can bring on added speedometer error. Changing transmissions
affect speedometers, then requiring recalibration.
-
WHEEL AND TIRE CHANGES
Wheel size, wheel diameter and/or tire size changes can alter speedometer calibration.
Everyone deserves an accurate speedometer to
prevent breaking the law and hurting the value of their motorcycles. Until
now the only solution was limited to a few products that require complicated
mathematic formulas to calculate an adjustment to offset a gearing or
tire/wheel change, but it still carried the original factory offset along
with it. Now there is Speedo Tuner. No math required, no guessing! Just follow
a simple 3 step procedure to regain accurate speedometer and odometer
readings within 1%. So no matter if you have made no changes or numerous
changes to your motorcycle, Speedo Tuner fixes your calibration
once and for all.

INSTALLATION
Locate the 3 wire connector on your
motorcycle for the factory speedometer sensor pickup (it will match the
connectors on our module). On most bikes, it will be under the fuel tank,
sitting on top of the main crankcases, behind the fuel
injection/carburetors. The speedo sensor pickup from the engine usually
comes off the rear of the engine cases, you can follow this wire around to
the connection. Check with your dealer or a shop manual if you are unsure.
Unplug the stock 3 wire connector and after
routing the Speedo Tuner wiring from under the seat area, plug
the mating Speedo Tuner connectors into each side of the factory
connectors. Tuck the wiring so it doesn’t get pinched when you lower the
fuel tank. Find a good location for the Speedo Tuner under the
driver or passenger seat where it is out of the way and is not directly
exposed to the weather. Velcro it in position so the set button will not get
inadvertently pushed.
METHODS OF CALIBRATION
Choose one of the following methods to
calibrate the Speedo Tuner.
- Use a motorcycle dyno. They have very
accurate speedometer readings.
- Temporarily mount a GPS system on your
bike that reads m.p.h.
- Follow another vehicle with a known
accurate speedometer. Most late model automobiles with stock wheels and
tires are accurate within 1%.
- Use a measured mile on the highway and
drive until you can go 1 mile in exactly 60 seconds. (60 m.p.h.)
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Once you have chosen your method of
calibration, this is the procedure:
- Temporarily mount the Speedo Tuner
module up on your fuel tank with the extra supplied Velcro. Make sure you
can comfortably see the indicator light.
- Start riding the motorcycle and when you
are ready to start the procedure hold the set button down for
approximately 6 seconds until the red light starts to blink rapidly,
release the button.
- As soon as possible, operate your
motorcycle at a TRUE speed that you want to calibrate the unit at.
(Although the Speedo Tuner will calibrate at any speed, we
strongly recommend 60 m.p.h. as the speed you use). Now push the set
button again for 1-2 seconds until the red light starts blinking slower
than before.
- Now alter your bike’s speed so that the
speedometer indicates the speed you have chosen (60 m.p.h.) to calibrate
at and once more push the set button for 1-2 seconds. You should see the
red light go solid and you may notice the speedometer needle jump to the
corrected setting.
- If you have made a mistake or gotten
interrupted , simply hold the set button down for the 5-6 seconds until
the red light starts blinking quickly then start again.
- Remount the Speedo Tuner under
the seat once you have stopped and turned off the motorcycle.
If you choose to calibrate the Speedo Tuner while operating your
motorcycle on public roads, please find a quiet and remote stretch where you
can perform this test without distraction.
Please ride safe and be aware. |
