Speedohealer users The ZX14 uses a calculation based on Rpm and speed to determine what gear to show on your indicator. I was having some problems with my indicator showing 5th when in 6th because I was using a -10%.. FYI

Hmmm....I get mine on next week, setting it to -20% because im down 1 tooth in front and up 3 in back. I'll get back to you in a week and tell you what it reads.

Yea, I will live with the 1 gear down reading. I prefer the accurate speedo over which gear I'm in. Kinda figured it had to do w/ the SH.

I'm using -7% and have had absolutely no problems with the gear indicator.

You're probably still close enough to not throw the Gear Indic. off. I think when you correct to 10% or more thats when it throws off G.I.

I have question.... How do you set to SpeedoHealer to 10% on the stock gearing with the dip switches. I have one in hand..

The procedure is a tad involved, you're programming binary memory locations using the dip switches. I doubt that anyone here could do a better job explaining the procedure than the instructions included with the unit do.
Follow the instructions and be patient. It's not super difficult, but it's not exactly simple either. ____________

Cause you proably have the bike geared down.. Duhhhhhh LOL
Very true. However, lower gearing makes the bike run at a higher RPM/speed ratio (which the bike would interpret as a lower transmission gear). With that in mind, if the gear indicator really did work off a "calculation based on Rpm and speed to determine what gear to show on your indicator", wouldn't my gear indicator be off?

I was using the SH in the convert kph to mph mode, which must be equivalent to about minus 38% and my gear position indicator was perfect.
If the gear position indicator is calculated from rpm and speed, as you say, then why does it change when the bike is at a standstill with the clutch in as you go through the gears?
I thought it was a resistive device on the gear selector, similar to Suzuki.

My gear indicator reads perfectly simply sitting still in the garage... I can shift up and down through all of the gears and it changes every time without a problem. Output shaft speed (or speedo healer modification of that signal) has nothing to do with the gear position indicator.

Well then I would think that it's a Kawi problem. Has anyone thought of going to the dealer w/ this issue? What did they say it was?
I'm just not that concerned about it to get the dealer involved now. As long as nothings blowing up I'll wait till there's snow on the ground.

When I went -1 on the counter sprocket of my 10R and calibrated the speedo with a SH, my DIGI would flash between 5 and 6 while in sixth gear. When I went back to the OEM gearing and recalibrated (using a GPS and repeated runs at various speeds in both cases), the problem went away.
Don't know if the DIGI unit reads the gear position in a similar manner, but I thought it worth mentioning.
BTW - My SH is an older v2.0 model

This is what the dealer told me.. I had it at -10% and sometimes showing 5th while in 6. And then put it at -5% problem went away..

A Digi/Acumen uses speed sensor and RPMs to calibrate gear position. When you add a Speed Healer you just threw out the programming parameters used in the calculations for the Digi gear indicator because the Speed Healer changes the signal before the Digi gear indicator which it was originally programmed at...or using for it's calculations for the speed signal. So, you have to start all over and Re-program the Digi and it will work as before, gearing change or not.
I also thought is was worth mentioning because unlike a Acumen which can be re-programed a stock instument can't and believe there is nothing out there right now to get the gear indicator working properly with a speed healer.
Of, course this is assuming that the stock cluster or ECU is actually displaying the gear position based on speed sensor and RPMs identical to the Acumen.
