They can be calibrated to most bike engines as they only need rev and speed pulses.
Ask the seller if they do one for your bike to be sure.

I had an acumen one fitted to my Indy. With the original blade 893 engine getting revs from ecu and an etb electric speedo driven off magnets on the prop, i couldn't get it to calibrate properly. When i contacted the manufacturer they very kindly sent me a kit to connect in to enhance the signal from the speedo pick up. Again it still wouldn't work!!!

In frustration i gave up. When i fitted the 954 blade enfgine using the original bike clocks for speed and revs, i tried the acumen once again..... and it worked 1st time brilliantly!!!!!! Its a bit slow to register gear changes sometimes but it was great most of the time.

I'd probably avoid trying unless you can send it back if it doesn't work

ok, I think they need to come off multiple speed pulses to make them work accurately & reliably, considering mine is using only one on the prop shaft looks like I'll give it a miss then
