Fitting HealTech Speedo Healer on ZX9R

[Daz9R]

Part 1

Having had new tyres fitted and changing my sprocket sizes I decided to fit a Speedo Healer as well and thought I’d do a write up of fitting it to the 9.
Firstly thanks to Tim at Superbike Supply for the prompt sending of the unit. ( They were out of stock and as soon as stock came in it was dispatched express post)

Fitting was very straight forward and the only tools needed were an allen key and a phillips head screwdriver.

The unit came in 2 bags with everything required, one with the unit itself and the second with the harness wiring which is specific to each model bike.

The instructions for fitting are included with the harness and are very easy to follow but here is a basic rundown.
1. Remove rear seat and then remove bolt holding front seat and remove same (that’s if you have one, mine seems to have gone walkabout)

8. Connect the harness to the unit and test as per the instructions.

9. Route the harness wiring to the rear underseat section. I just tucked it in with the existing wiring and once happy with the route added a couple zip ties.

10. The unit comes with a piece of stick on Velcro which you can adhere where you like. I placed it here for easy accessibility. One thing to note
is that the wiring is not overly long and only just made it to this point.

The unit also comes with a remote switch that will tell you your top recorded speed. After a bit of mucking around trying to route this to the dash area
I decided that I wouldn’t be able to use it with gloves on, couldn’t decide where I wanted it and probably wouldn’t actually use it anyway. So I rolled up
the cable, zip tied it and left it next to the unit in the back.


The next step involves calculating the adjustment to be fed into the unit. This is done using the online calculator on the Heal Tech website.
11. Input the model and method required.

12. I went down 1 tooth on the front sprocket and the rear tyre was changed from a 190/50 to a 190/55. I did not want to compensate for the
Factory speedo error as this is only estimated (5%). As soon as I can get a hold of a GPS I’ll reset it that way as it will be more accurate.

13. Calibration calculated and instructions given for setting which can be printed off.
