ZX9R Speedo settings?
matt.c - 28/6/08 at 05:25 PM

Can anyone tell me roughly how fast should my speedo be reading at lets say 3000rpm in 6th gear or 3000rpm in 3rd gear?

Im trying to roughly setup my speedo corrector with the car up on stands.
Im using the bike speedo pickup mounted to read off the driveshart bolts.
Indy with 1999 ZX9R "C" with 3.62 non lsd with 15inch wheels and 195/50/15 888's.

Hi Matt

I've got 195/50/15 Toyo T1S &3.62 LSD 6th gear is the best. I've got 10mph per 1000rpm, so 6000rpm = 60mph, 12,000=120mph (true speed ~116mph at 12,000rpm) So set to over read and in line with SVA tolerances.

I set mine just using 6th gear at 30mph, 50mph and 70mph

Cheers

Ian

Many thanks guys. I will try your settings.

Had a real crap day in the garage today as my battery kept going flat and i had no jump leads.
