How to: SpeedoDRD for Dummies

Tools you'll need:

- Allen key to unscrew your tank so you can prop it up.

Steps:

1. Prop your tank up.



2. Locate your speed sensor on your bike. Below is a picture of what it looks like, on the left side of the bike attached to the front sprocket cover.



3. Follow the wires going out of the speed sensor under the tank. You'll see a connector (MINE WAS BLACK, NOT WHITE) under the tank.



4. Unplug the clip. PLEASE NOTE that in order to unplug this clip, YOU MUST have small freaking hands and realize that the actual "clip" is on the backside and must be PULLED out, NOT pushed toward the clip itself. It took me for freaking ever to get this damn thing apart, as I had issues getting my hands in there and I thought the part I needed to "push in" was on the front. Turns out you need to pull out, and it's on the back. I hope that makes sense. You'll see what I mean when you get in there and look at it.

5. Plug your speedoDRD into the two parts of the clip you just unplugged. Straight plug and play.

Here is a picture of mine all finished up and zip-tied down.


6. Program your speedoDRD:

Go to this link in order to help calculate how far off your speedometer currently is. Mine was -16.7% off. http://www.speedodrd.com/p_sdrd_calc.htm

You can watch a video of how to program the speedoDRD with the following link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10ziF...layer_embedded

I followed the video instructions and had no issues whatsoever. Again, I had to use -16.7% for my speedodrd.

Nah... just doing some work on the bike, and learning most the things the hard way.... figured I'd help out some of the newer people who are less mechanically inclined, like myself. Hence the "for dummies".

It's a forum, don't care much about my e-peen.

Sounds good. They should be in mid-week, and I'm pretty impatient so I might do them like Thursday so I can be ready for the weekend.

Probably carbon lorraine... maybe EBC HH pads...

I've heard that Galfer pads require quite a bit of heat though, and I will be using them on street, not track, so not sure about that.

I'm still researching mine, as I probably won't buy pads for another few months.

Re: How to: SpeedoDRD for Dummies

Mine is run next to the battery for easy access. So all I have to do is remove the seat and it is right there.

Do you have old or new model? I won the one from the competition on here, and it's an old model, total length of wire is only about 8".... not enough I didn't think to get back in by he batter... but I will never need to access mine again, as I don't really care to look at my top speed.

Yeah, no biggie here... like I said I don't care what my top speed is so I'll only have to access that little bad boy if I change anything again.... I might check it next season just to do a comparison of how closely it stays to -16.7%.

I think the 16.7% should provide you real top speed. Mine it was accurate across 20mph / 40mph / 60mph I will try to do GPS runs on 80mph and 100mph next time I'm at the track:

I'll update the info in this post:
SpeedoDRD 3.1x - 08 GSX-R600 -1 / +2 (GPS Data)

My speedo was off by 14.5% after a -1/+1 sprocket change and normal factory error. Good write up man!

Re: How to: SpeedoDRD for Dummies

i'm thinking about getting the speedo healer and i haven't gotten it because of the cost to get it accurate on dyno. will this calc work for speedo healer as well?

Re: How to: SpeedoDRD for Dummies

Gps is the best way, probably the cheapest to. If you don't have that have someone with a car go ahead of you so you can judge your speed off of theirs.
