I wrote(again) to the speedohealer guy.This is what he told me.
The tachs on the 14 are "slightly" favorable.Okay.I can buy that...no prob.HOWEVER.....setting the speedohealer to bypass the SPEED LIMITER will NOT AFFECT the Tachometer.If the tach is slightly optimistic....it will remain that way throughout the engine rpm range(in other words,it won't change it's reading ability up or down as it runs faster..the calibration will remain constant).From 0 rpms to whatever.Not like the speedo that can actually increase or decrease whatever the case may be(like you said....reading at 100,then showing an "off" speed at 190).He also pointed out that setting the healer(in this case mine)with my gearing...will BYPASS the SPEED limiter,allowing the bike to continue to wind out without ever hitting the engine limiter.Apparently,what is showing on the tachometer has no real value for having a means to determine IF the engine limiter is engaging.He said it wasn't in my setup.So the 190 is correct.I mentioned about the gearingcommander website....you went to it and punched in "in/mph",yes?Then you entered 16/42,yes?And you got a read of 178 something in the window.Okay.That IS fairly accurate.BUT...did you punch in on the rpms 11,500?...NOW look at your top speed.She will do 190 with the right conditions.10 mph slower than the listed speed for the gearing and rpm values is very possible.But you're saying I'm not hitting 11,5...right?Okay...whatever I'm hitting...it's taking me to 190.So IDK.The top speed recall .....GIVES THE ACCURATE TOP SPEED VALUE for the run.It is "real speed"...not healed.It matched my GPS.So IDK.I was also running a taller profile tire...perhaps that helped..IDK.I never entered that into the calculation for the "healed" speedo error.
This is one of the benefits of using a Healtech Healer...the actual speed will be shown on the recall function regardless of what the dial is showing.
I do want to verify this "feature" for myself...just so what I'm saying is correct(in my case).Last fall,I set the healer to the website instructions for "top speed run...zx14".The healer was set to -90%.My indicated speed for just a regular drive was showing something like 35 when I was actually travelling around 100.UNFORTUNATELY...I did not stop at that point and take a "top speed recall" check.So in all honesty,I don't know FOR SURE that the "top speed recall" shows true speed or not.The website says it does...regardless of what the "corrected" speedo error is showing on the dial.So IDK...I could be full of shit and not know it!
