Speedo adjustment needed for sprocket?

[redkat06]

If i was to upgrade the rear sprocket say to a 49 instead of our stock 47 would a speedo adjustment be needed? I was told some bikes the sensor is off of the front wheel while others are run off the tranny?

The Kat is off the front wheel..
So the speedo will stay as inacurate as ever

Anyone out there got other "count" sprockets than 49?

Pre98 Kat's run off the fronot wheel , 98+ have a sensor deal on the front sprocket .

What adjusted ? You mean get a Speedohealer or something similar ? You COULD just go by one of those radar stations and note how far off your speedo is and mentally compensate . Most bike's speedos read too fast anyway , so you're usually going SLOWER than you think you are .

Why not change the front sprocket, Its cheaper??
I'm going to order one on monday, It should be in on tuesday I'll post my findings

i have a post 98 kat and i was wondering what a speedo healer is exactly ? does it allow for you to adjust for different sprocket sizes like i assume ? and if so where do you get one ??

Just search for speedohealer (in different forms ie: Speedo-healer , speedohealer, speedo healer) or a Yellowbox on Google or something .
