GPS Lag
05/14/09 12:45 PM

You guys that have one, do you notice the GPS lagging behind your speedo.

I went for a blast last night and here are the results. I have my speedohealer dialed in at 60 & 100, just didn't have time to compare at this speed.

Speed-O-Healer Recall

I just changed my gearing to 16/43 and the rear tire to 190/55.
I had my shift light set at 10k, and I saw it blink, must have been just a couple of ticks over 10k when I let off.

Which reading is correct.

Don't have a GPS, but I'd trust it before the speedo.... even with the healer. I think the speedo is always gonna be off, to a varying degree, depending on how fast you are going.

So which one is accurate???... depends who you are telling the story to.

You managed to take a pic of your speedo at 176 MPH ?

The speedohealer has a recall botton that when pushed makes the speedo read the top speed achieved. Bike doesn't have to be movin', let alone goin' 170mph, to get the pic. Just have to turn on the ignition and push the recall button.

Did not know about this feature. How can you recall the top speed?

It's just a remote button that plugs into the healer that you can mount anywhere you want. If the ignition is on, and you hit the button, the speedo climbs to your top speed. I don't think the earlier versions of the healer had the feature. Mine is a V4. I actually didn't want another button on my dash (let alone one that recalls how much I broke the law by) so I keep mine in the tool kit. When I wanna use it, it's easy enough to plug in. Pretty cool feature, since I think we're all curious how fast we went, but should be worried about other things at such high speeds!

I think there are basic problems with speedos because minr only said 165 when I passed you.

I've had both on two different motorcycles. The GPS is way more accurate. You were doing 144, not 176. Sorry, that's a fact. A speed-o-heeler will never make your speedo correct at all speeds.
