speedo error

[busabbad]

how accurate is the factory speedometer? does it become less accurate as you go faster??

 

[Charlesbusa]

not perfectly accurate.
yes, the faster you go the further off it is.

If you really want to have accurate speed readings, go GPS.

 

[BusaWhipped]

The error is about 7% fast. 65 indicated is 61 on radar.

 

[BigBSBusa]

Error is not consistent between bikes, so somewhere between 7 and 10% and yes it increases with speed.

add a speed o healer to correct. I was 9 mph off at 100 MPH
speed o healer fixed mine
being off adds un traveled miles on your guage as well

+2!
' I didnt give this any thought, but I'm going to get one if for this purpose and none other. I'll borrow a GPS to double check results...

guys, let me know if you need a speedo healer.

 

[Jet Li]

Are there different types of speedo healers?

Is there one specific for the BUSA?

Easy to install?

Cheaper than a GPS?

 

[AK_Busa]

guys, let me know if you need a speedo healer.

how much? Also does it correct the odometer? Last I heard (probably incorrect) was that it would show more miles than actually riden. I hope that is incorrect. Please set me straight.

tks

I just tested my and found it to be 8.5% off, tested it with a GPS at 60 mph, 70 mph and 80 mph, I find this not exceptable and would like to see Suzuki get a better handle on it. Looks like I need to get a speedo healer soon.

Hey streetntrack, thank's for the head's up. I contacted speedohealer.com and they sent me over to their US distributor calsportbike.com and they have it for sale for $89.99 without the remote cable. Is there any discount for being an org member?

I got mine from streetntrack the other day. Very satisfied.

I was reading up on the speedo-healer and I am bit confused as to the new version and what needs to be done. I remember the older versions having to be "calibrated" with the correct speed, is this still true with the new version? Also, I have an '06-is there any chance Suzuki fixed this issue with the new bikes? Looking to buy-just want to know what is involved before I do.

You need to know you're correction factor, like in my case -6.5%, then program the Speedohealer to correct the speedo's reading accordingly.

That's what you refer to as calibration. Either you use a GPS or road markers to determine you speedo's error first. Then you'll know your percentage required.
