Yellow Box Speedo Corrector?

[Leef]

I installed one of these (an older version) on my '08 S2R and it doesn't work.  I've been in lengthy email correspondence with the YB manufacturer in Australia, and they are very nice and are trying to help. 

Has anyone used one of these on the S2R?

Why would you need to?
The S2R reads the bike's speed from the rear brake rotor bolt heads.

Unless you changed the rear tire size to something obscene, you should never need the speedo healer thing, which corrects for bikes that read the bike speed off of the front sprocket.

BC, my speedo reads ~7% high (verified with GPS).

The speed sensor is mounted at the bottom of the "hub", right?

[Bladecutter]

Yes, the speedo pickup is right next to the rear brake caliper.

The 7% error is normal.
Just about every bike manufacturer is off by a percentage.

and if you KNOW it's off that much, who cares?
I'm curious if the GPS defense would work in court though. at 80 indicated, my gps shows 72 with a 9ft accuracy if that matters.

for myself, knowing just makes it worse. speedo error is like that itch you just can't find a way to scratch...

Plus, on most bikes, if the speedo is off, so is your odometer. Registering more miles than is actually on it. At 7% that's 70 miles per 1000 traveled.  I personally like the Speedo Healer and have used it on several bikes in the past. Last I checked though, they do not have a plug-n-go kit for a lot of the Ducati's. I'm not gonna be cutting any wiring on my ride while it is under warranty but if you are out of warranty they make a universal kit.
