Okay, got tired of reading the speedo at 90 and watching me barely pass the semis, so I decided to get the speedohealer and install it so I can have peace of mind at knowing how fast I'm actually going. For those of you who don't know, speedohealer helps calibrate your speedometer/odometer. I have an '05 750 and just got new sprockets +3 in the rear, so I was running a 15/48 setup. Thus, my speed was reading WAY to high, (as if our stock indicated wasn't off already). You can purchase this at www.speedohealer.com , me thinks a great piece, especially if you tweak your sprockets Anywho, asked around for some how to's on this and didn't find any so I installed it tonight and took some pics for all of you to see. Let me know if you all have any questions. Hope you like my lovely assistant (my oldest daughter Rayann)..............
First, ya gotta take off the left fairing to access the speed sensor located just under the left fairing (thanks Trinc for the heads up, otherwise I'd be looking forever!) Once you have the fairing off, your looking for the speed sensor which is circled below in green........
This picture is a closeup where my lovely assistant points out the speed sensor you need to unplug. Careful, there is another plug that looks like the same 3pole connection but in white. The speed sensor wires are orange black and pink I believe. The other connection is sitting right behind it and the connector is white you will see it @ about 2 o'clock from the speed sensor(in the black sleeve.)
Next, what your gonna do is disconnect the speed sensor connection and plug both the male and female connectors to your Suzuki Harness kit that you need to order w/ the speedo healer. In this picture, you will see the red cord is the harness kit, and I have now plugged the appropriate sides of the speed sensor into the wire harness.......(sorry for the blurry pic)
Next, you plug the other end of the wire harness into the speedo healer and you are done, almost, ya just gotta program it..... pic below shows the other end of the harness plugged into the speedo healer box. Rayann is holding the cord and the box is hanging, it's only maybe 2"x1" (the speedo healer)
Once you are set, you run the cord through your frame safely w/ tie downs and attached it via double side tape into a safe location. I put it on the side of my area where the owner manual is kept. All that is left to do is the calibration of the unit depending on your needs. You can do the calibration calculations on the speedo healer website. In my case, I took into consideration going from a 15/45 setup to a 15/48 setup. Using the online calculater, I had to adjust my speedo -12.1% to get the accurate reading! Once installed, I test rode and man, I am back to reality. My inflated ego is now gone......
On a side note, the statement of going up in sprockets takes away from top end speed, I was able to get to 120mph, legitimate this time I could've probably gotten more but ran out of room on the elevated carpool lane When I started to throttle down, I noticed my revs must've been close to red but at 120, I didn't notice where the revs were at, looking at the road and speed
Well those are my tales of the speedohealer install, hope this helps you all, let me know if you have any questions and I will answer the best I can.
