HealTech SpeedoHealer v4 install

[jaffabaffa]

Hey guys!


I recently bought a HealTech SpeedoHealer v4 that I'm planning to install in the near future.



Because I use my FZ6 as my main means of transportation to commute to and from work every day, I would like to complete the installation process in one go, and not stubble upon any unexpected problems or hick-ups.

Therefore, I was wondering if anyone could perhaps provide me with some useful "tips and tricks", or maybe even provide a full-fledged work instruction...

What do I need to pay attention to, and what do I need to look out for? Any specific things that I need to aware of?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Do you have a manual in PDF you could share? I imagine you have to tap into the speed sensor and at least a 12 volt key'd source.
In general if your running a wire to power a device be sure you have an inline fuse close to where you tap into the 12 volt source. The negative wire can go to the negative battery terminal or a frame/engine ground. Treat any plugs with an inspection of the pins.

MY GPS says that my speedo has a 2-3% error. That's a lot of money and hassle for something that a police officer will never notice.

I think you need a 'GPSHealer'

There's no tapping into the harness, it is literally plug and play..
Also, there should be a wiring kit for your specific bike.

As I re-call there really wasn't any hiccups with the install. (It's been 12-15 years since I installed mine).



If you have a GPS, that's very helpful in adjusting the unit.
Mine is within .2 MPH .

Also, it has the ability to save your highest speed internally until you plug in a button(was included) and push it to erase the speed...

I have mine installed under the seat , in the corner, attached to the plastic inner fender.. Haven't touched it since I installed it...

Hey guys,


Thanks for all your comments.

I have since successfully installed the SpeedoHealer.

I must say that the instructions that come with the SpeedoHealer are actually very clear and straight forward.

The only difficulty that an unexperienced person might encounter while installing a SpeedoHealer, is locating the speed sensor coupler connector plug.

The speed sensor connector — among some other connectors — is located within the rubber sleeve that you'll find once you lift the tank (see picture below)



The speed sensor plug looks like this (see picture below). You can easily take the connector apart using a small flat-head screwdriver (no pliers needed).



Once you connect the SpeedoHealer's wiring harness, it looks like this (see picture below).



You can easily route the wire towards the back of the bike (see pictures below).







I hope that this information might help anyone that's looking to install a SpeadoHealer in the future.

That's the exact spot I put mine.

Did it come with another plug/line/button that plugs into the unit to access the highest speed registered?

Yes, it also came with that tiny red button.

I installed that cable afterwards, hence it's not in the pictures

Are your speedometers off with stock tires and sprockets, or are you changing up those numbers? My bike, stock tires and sprockets, is decently far off. I want to say GPS says 80 and speedo says 90ish.

Seems like all the Japanese bike speedos are off even with stock sprockets etc.

The speedometer is indeed already quite far of in stock form. If you shorten the gearing ratio, the difference becomes even bigger. I would definitely recommend a SpeedoHealer, even if your gearing is still original. Your odometer won't count the miles/kilometers as quickly, and your speedometer is always dead on. Furthermore, the "top speed button" adds a nice features when you stand around your bike talking with friends haha.

I will probably order one. It's easier than doing the math in my head while on a ride. And yes, clocking the correct mileage is also a plus.
