Speedo Healer Calibration Help

Having trouble calibrating the speedo healer, I have a 1997 Fireblade but we are using the 1998 speedo sensor (that is normally mounted in the gearbox) externally it is picking up a signal from 2 magnets mounted on the prop adaptor. When you put the speedo healer into test mode it moves the needle on the speedo to 15mph and when you rotate the prop so that the magnets pass the sensor the led lights up (signal being recieved). When you reset the speedo healer and put it into transparent mode to calculate the total error, the speedo does not read at all, when the wheels are jacked up on axel stands, or on the road.

Would also be grateful if anyone could give there calibration details for a 97 or 98 blade with 195/55/R15 Tyres and a 3.92 Non LSD Diff.

Hope you can understand the waffle above, all help appreciated.

I was planning on using the spreadsheet method as you did Ed but i cannot work out the indicated speed as there is none when the speedo healer is in transparent mode.

Its complicated

Hi Mike,

The problem is that the input signal is so slow that it will not drive
the
speedo.
You may notice a little speedo movement when you spin the wheel in 6th
at
full throttle.

You need an "SH-C8" , this is a unit with extended calibration range.
It can be ordered through the following page:

Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us
again.

Kind Regards,

So looks like i gotta buy another unit, unless someone on here can help!!

Hi Mike

Just a thought

if you've got to speed up the signals, couldn't you just use more magnets spread equally around the prop rather than buying another unit to speed up the rate?

That's what I'd suggest. I think there's 4 magnets/pickups in the bike box, quite possibly more though, so to save a lot of money just add more magnets. If that doesn't work, just add some more until it works!

Or just use a 1997 speedo sensor instead of a 1998
