Jaycar Speedo Corrector

[SpudRider]

No problem, Veteran. I understand your concern, and you are off the list.

Incidentally, I don't see a double post. However, if I do find it, I can delete it for you.

I am going to send another email to the vendor of the Jaycar Speedo Corrector, and ask him if the caveat regarding moisture is a CYA (cover your backside) 'warning,' or if the unit is truly susceptible to water damage.

Thanks for doing that spud! It would definitely be more desirable if there isn't a significant moisture concern

You're welcome.

I just sent another email to Jaycar. Here is the content of the email. I will post his reply as soon as I receive it.

Dear Sir,

I am attempting to put together a group purchase of your Jarcar Speedo Correctors from the United States. However, several people have expressed concerns regarding your statement in the User Manual which says, "never get any part of the module wet." Is this unit water resistant, or is it easily damaged by moisture? Can it be used reliably for motorcycle installations? Thank you.

I'm in for the group buy.....

Thanks, Spud. Looking forward to his reply.

Thanks, Huck. We're half way there; I will probably get two.

I am in for 2 minimum. Have to talk to the other local owners. Maybe 4.

Thanks, Jim.

It's Monday morning in Australia, so I hope I get a reply from the vendor today. I think this unit is an excellent value. I'm sure it would cost me more to make one of these units myself than the price the vendor is charging.

The very best way to find your roll out is what I call the oil spot method.

On a clean surface put a single drop of oil (any liquid will do) on your front tire. Roll bike straight and upright to put tow linear marks on the ground. Measure distance from front edge to front edge. This will be your true roll out including any flex in the tire carcass.

Use this measurement to input for speed calculations.

Very clever.

That is the calibration method prescribed by the user's manual for my Trail Tech Vapor computer. I sat on the bike while I rolled three revolutions of the front wheel along a crack in the pavement. Then I measured the roll out distance, and divided by three.

Thats also very clever going for the average.

Unfortunately, the two speedo correctors I have examined are not calibrated using wheel roll out. However, this is exactly the method you use to calibrate the speedometer for the Trail Tech computers.
