I have a 2005 S1 and swapped to a 2007 S2 speedometer. Everything works fine but the MPH is way off. I checked it against my GPS. It says 70mph when I’m doing 40mph. I was thinking of using a speed healer. Any ideas?
Yes. with the other fuses. The only fuse that I know of that isn't with that group of fuses, is the main 30 amp fuse on top of the battery cover next to the starter relay.Is that fuse located in the box under the back panel?
I've had mine since new in 08 and it's remarkable how ignorant I remain due to the reliability of the bike. Good luck with the speedo.
So it is in MPH. When I put my GPS in Kph it matches up with the MPH on my speedo. So weird. Then when I switch on the speedometer to Kph it is even faster. The only thing I can think of is I don’t have ABS and speedometer is from a bike with it I believe. I never ran power to the wire harness pin for the ABS. I really don’t think that would affect the speed though. So to re cap, when I’m in Mph on my bike it matches up to Kph on my GPS. Kph on my bike and it’s even faster. Probably the same ratio difference. It is consistent at least.I was hoping that. It says MPH. I will double check since it came from UK.
The ABS theory sounds like it might be the issue. Now I'm thinking a speedo healer might be the cure. Need to find out if a speedo healer has the ability to correct that much of a percentage difference.So it is in MPH. When I put my GPS in Kph it matches up with the MPH on my speedo. So weird.

Just ordered a speed healer. They claim -99% up to +999% adjustments.The ABS theory sounds like it might be the issue. Now I'm thinking a speedo healer might be the cure. Need to find out if a speedo healer has the ability to correct that much of a percentage difference.
Speed healer worked perfectly. Wish I knew why it was so far off though.The ABS theory sounds like it might be the issue. Now I'm thinking a speedo healer might be the cure. Need to find out if a speedo healer has the ability to correct that much of a percentage difference.
That's great news! Speed is calculated from different sources. In the case of the ABS equiped bike speed is calculated from the ABS wheel sensors to the ABS computer and then to the ECU. On the non ABS bike the speed sensor is directly off the drive train. Still, I agree, by the time it gets to the speedo data line, why the big difference? It could have been the same.Speed healer worked perfectly. Wish I knew why it was so far off though.
