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.
AvTo
AvTo AvTo AvTo Auto Cal
•
Press and release the switch until “ Avto ” is displayed, then press and hold the switch until “ - “ is displayed.
•
Release the switch. The display will switch to “ vnit ” and light up the current speed unit (MPH or km/h).
•
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.
ADJvST
ADJvST ADJvST ADJvST Adjust
•
Press and release the switch until “ AdJvSt ” is displayed, then press and hold the switch until “ - “ is displayed.
•
Release the switch. The display will switch to “ vnit ” and light up the current speed unit (MPH or km/h).
•
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.
