I am looking at installing a Healtech Speedohealer on my F6B. The question I have is where is the speedo pickup on the bike?
Not having a workshop manual I would assume that it is the grey wireing that exits the block behind the right side headers and runs up under the right side of the fering.
Thanks in advance for any information.
Is something wrong with yours? For the first time on any bike, my speedometer is correct... i.e. it matches my gps-indicated speed.

Yes it overstates by 7kph. when compared to my GPS at 100kph. A friend of mine has has the same problem with his. Over a period of time it add's up to be a substantial amount of "phantom" kilometers on the bike thus affecting the trade in value.Also it is annoying by not giving a true speedo reading.
I realise most vehicle manufactures overstate when it comes to speedo readings. I have never owned a vehicle that understates so there has to be a reason. It is the only fault I can find with the bike though, as for the rest of it I just love it.
Mine exactly matches the GPS reading in MPH.
I checked my 1300R speedometer with my GPS. It was slow by six miles an hour. I was only doing sixty miles an hour when the speedometer was reading sixty six. No wonder old people were riding my butt. Programmed the speedohealer and the speed is dead on. The odometer is not clocking miles as fast as it was before. Now the odometer is reading a little closer to accurate. Cars and motorcycles alike can be as much as 15% off and still be legal. May get you a ticket but the vehicle maker can get away with it.
Whenever I look at my speedometer and GPS speed, they match. However, on my recent ss1000 the GPS recorded 3% fewer miles.
You mighy not notice the difference in the speedo / GPS comparison if it is small.
The Blackbird I traded on the F6B was overstating by 5kph and the recorded mileage also didn't match my GPS. I also have a 2011 Suzuki 1250S that is showing 6kph quicker than it's GPS.
There may be a difference between the American and Australian models I know the Oz models have ABS and we don't get the luxury model (heated grips - carrier - and backrest) so the American accessory shops do all right out of us blokes.
Do any of you know weather I am on to the right set of wires with the speedo pickup ( the ones coming from the right side just after the headers and disapearing behind the brake master cylinder?)
Cheers Woody.
