    I am trying to hook up a Speedo DRO? This looks like a pain in the ass, What setting do I use for a rear 45 teeth sprocket?

    The speed sensor is located on the left side of the bike.

    It's the small Black electronic switch that's bolted onto the forward drive sprocket cover.

    Nice pic, I talked to the speedohealer people, got some good info, my speedo is 4.4% off with a 45 sprocket. I actually wanted a 44 sprocket which they don't make-at least I have not found one. :tranquillity:

    And none of that black and white grainy shit you get in the manuals either.

    Well I guess he may ride it but not too far, unless he spends lots time cleaning it. Looks too fancy to ride except to parties. Could be a living room type bike. I prefer plain black paint with stars in it. Anything goes wrong blame BB:hi2::tinfoil3::nelson:-he did it. I used to do that with the r6 but use got to it. Back to speed senor-I am looking for the plug that goes by wire from that round device, I guess I will have to take the fairing cover off to find it-might also be just under fuel tank-to nice out today, so I do for a ride with my weak knee-no fancy moves today.
