Measure actual speed using a comparator... ie another car or a cycle speedo (say 40). Whilst doing this read off the shown speed (say 50).

Simple calculation to work out the percentage

A/B x 100
40/50 x 100
80%

therefore your speedo is reading 20% fast.

Dial it in using the dip switch's

Drive!

DONE!

Regarding the connector's make sure you insert the correct pins into the correct place on the socket. This is due to different bike configurations - it's the same on the ZX12R - just check, check and re-check before you secure them into place. It fit's in between the clock and the sender on the gearbox (in most cases). Sounds like you are a bit daunted... don't be, just follow it logically and correctly and all will be well. Most of us have had to do it!
