Jaycar Speedo Corrector

[SpudRider]

Thanks to you, I saved some money, Vic. I cancelled my order for the Jaycar Speedo Corrector.

Instead, I 'bit the bullet,' and ordered the SpeedoDRD from 12 O'clock Labs. It ending up costing $33.50 more than the Jaycar unit, but I got a money back guarantee if it does not work with the Zongshen RX3. The SpeedoDRD unit should be here within a week, and I will post a new thread on that unit after I get it installed.

No worries Spud, that's one each lol, your review of the LED headlight saved me wasting my cash too. I've ordered an Osram Silverstar 2.0 H4 bulb instead to replace the standard 35w bulb. Should give a decent spread and range of light :-)

I've also decided not to purchase a Speedo healer. At my age, with dementia on the horizon, I need to exercise my brain as much as possible. Calculating a 10% speed reduction every time I look at the speedo will help in that effort.

We learned that trick in Canada in the '70's, because all of the speedometers were in MPH when we converted to Metric. Multiplying by 0.6 became second nature.

I've been following that procedure for 7 years with my Zongshen Sierra, as well. The odometer records miles, but the speedometer is labeled for both kph and mph. However, the mph marks are so small, I just multiply the kph reading by 0.6.

Nevertheless, I think the wonderful Siemens dashboard of the Zongshen RX3 deserves a speedometer corrector, so I purchased one.

I keep coming back to this comment.

I would love to have someone disassemble the speedometer and experiment with it. However, I don't want to ruin mine.

I haven't checked. However, I'm sure they cost most than I want to spend as long as I have a good one, with a 2-year warranty.

I purchased, and installed a SpeedoDRD from 12 O'Clock Labs on my Zongshen RX3. If you like, you can read my installation thread at the following link.

would one work on the TT250 or is that a mechanical speedo?

The CSC TT250 has a mechanical sending unit for the speedometer.
