What is it?
An electronic device that allows you to adjust for speedometer inaccuracy i.e. recalibrate speedo accuracy. On most modern motorcycles, with factory speedometer error being as high as 10%, even a modest sprocket gearing change can have the speedometer off by 15%. The sprocket change will also cause higher odometer readings, creating a negative resale factor for no valid reason. The SpeedoHealer is an inexpensive, convenient and very simple way to fix your speedo. Compatible with all motorcycles with non cable driven speedometers.

Why I chose Speedo healer as against Yellow Box
One thing swung it for me, the Speedohealer is 'plug and play' as it's supplied with a wiring loom that's fitted with OEM type connectors - just plug it in and go, no wire cutting, joining, nasty cheap connectors etc. As a bonus it's cheaper to buy than the Yellow Box as well.

Features as quoted on www.speedohealer.com:

• Widest calibration range (-99.9% to +99.9%) along with the finest increments (0.1%)

• The best accuracy

• Plug-n-Go Kits are available for Japanese bikes

• Has the most features

• Quick and easy setup through the on-line calculator

• 100% weather proof design, it is built to last

• The lightest unit with the most compact dimensions

• Each unit is extensively tested prior to shipping. Guaranteed to work.

Speedohealer installation:
 

As I said above, the kit comes supplies with OEM type electrical connectors so this is a pretty easy install.
here's the kit:

Just three aspects to the install really, locate and connection to the speedo sensor wiring loom connector, finding a suitable location for the Speedohealer unit and routing the SpeedoHealer cable.
It's not necessary but to make life a bit easier lift the fuel tank and prop it, you'll have a better view of the wiring harnesses/connectors down the inside of the right-hand side of the frame then.

Again not necessary but it makes the job easier - unbolt the speedo sensor from the primary sprocket cover, release the cable from the cable clip above and pull the sensor and cable up the inside of the frame (see below). The electrical connectors are tricky to disconnect so if you follow my advice you'll find it much easier. There's locking tags on the connectors, hard to describe how to pull the connectors apart but a very small flat bladed screw driver will help.

Feed the SpeedoHealer cable down the inside of the frame and connect the two connectors. Feed the speedo sensor cable back down the inside of the frame, bolt the sensor back in place and secure the cable with the cable clip.

You can now pull the SpeedoHealer cable upwards until you get the two connectors sat in a safe and tidy position and cable tie the SpeedoHealer cable to the main wiring harness when you're happy.

Feed the SpeedoHealer cable down the side of the rear cylinder and under the fuel tank mount. Take care to route it so that it won't chafe, get trapped when the tank is lowered or sit directly against the engine - secure it with cable ties to keep it in place.

Route along side the battery and up into the pillion seat storage space.

Connect the SpeedoHealer unit, tank down, riders seat on, side panels on and you're done on the install. Secure the SpeedoHealer unit with the velcro patches provided or tie wraps so that it can't rattle around which may result on damage to the electrical connection.  Obviously you'll have to lift the pillion seat (or cowl) to access the top speed recall button (or you can order the version of the SpeedoHealer that has a remote button - www.speedohealer.com/eng/photos.htm SHv3.0-Ext).

One last thing to do, set the unit up to calibrate your speedo - time to visit www.speedohealer.com to use (or download) their calibration calculator and more advice on set-up if you need it.
