SPEEDOMETER SETUP/CALIBRATION 

Press and hold the switch while turning the key on and starting the engine.  Once the engine is running, 

release the switch.  Press and release the switch to change the menu selection. 

 

SPEED CALIBRATION 

When performing speedometer calibration, enter the speed setup mode by pressing and holding the function switch 

while turning the key on and starting the bike, once the bike is running, release the switch.  This avoids any problems with the 
battery voltage dropping during engine cranking. 

There are two methods for calibrating the speedometer, auto cal and adjust.  Either one can be used.  ‘Auto cal’ 

requires that you have one measured mile marked out (km for metric), this is the best method to start with if your speedometer 
needs a lot of correction.  ‘Adjust’ requires you to follow another vehicle going at a set speed, time yourself over a mile to 
determine your speed, or use a hand-held GPS with speed indication.

Release the switch.  The display will switch to “

Press and hold the switch to keep the current unit or press and release the switch to change the unit.   

 

Next the speedometer will display “

CAL

” and the message display will show zeroes.  You should now begin driving the 

measured mile.  The message display will show the number of pulses received from the sensor.  The message display 
cannot be used to determine when a mile has been driven.  Once you reach the end of your measured mile, press and 
release the switch again.  The calibration is now done.

Press and hold the switch to keep the current unit or press and release the switch to change the unit.   

 

Next the system will restart with “

AdJvSt

” on the message display.  The speedometer will show the speed reading.  Begin 

driving at a known speed.  When the switch is pressed, the speedometer reading will begin increasing until the switch is 
released.  The next time the switch is pressed, the reading will begin decreasing until it is released.  When the 
speedometer is correct you can release the switch.  The new calibration will be saved if no adjustments are made for 10 
seconds. 

 

To exit the adjust mode you will need to stop and turn the key off. 

 

PLEASE NOTE: Common problems during calibration  

VSS wires should be isolated from the ignition system. Coils, plug wires, or tachometer signal wires routed 

near  or  with  the  VSS  wire  can  cause  many  problems.  If  you  are  seeing  erratic  speedometer  operation
registering speed at a standstill, or speed changes with engine RPM, please double-check your VSS wire and 
tachometer wire routing making sure the VSS wire is separated from any ignition system components. 
 

If your speedometer registers ‘00’ all the time, the unit is not receiving a VSS signal, please double-check 

your sensor wiring and mounting. The speedometer cannot be properly calibrated until you are registering a stable, 
but incorrect speedometer reading. 
Please see speed sensor voltage checks on the trouble-shooting page for assistance in checking your sensor.
