Would like to add a Speed O Healer to my R3, but not sure where the speed sensor coupler is located or what it looks like. I have added them to my V2000 and my ZX-14 in the past but the new website for Healtech does not appear to offer specifics for an R3. Anyone out there able to help me out would be much appreciated.
 
What is it supposed to do? If you just want to get rid of the 7% optimistic outlook of the speedometer then that can be done with TuneECU.

Thanks idk ...... what is the best option to acquire the TuneECU?
 
You should also note, however, that if you adjust the speedo readout using TuneECU that it will also affect the odo readout.
 
When you put the excedra max tire on the rear it will help that problem.

What's the magic correction number in TuneECU? Looks like 80 MPH on the speedometer is actually around 76 MPH on my GPS on the R3T. The mileage number means nothing to me unless it affects the ECU remaining fuel calculation as well.

And therein lies the problem.

If you "correct" the speedo, it'll "eff" up the odo.

Which would you rather be correct? For me; it's the odo.

Mine appears to be less; @ two MPH at 60 MPH.
 
The correction percentage will depend on what tyres you have on. A 240/50 and a 240/55 will be out by different amounts. A 225/55 is different again, etc.

Personally, I prefer the odometer to be accurate and if the speedo is a bit optimistic then that gives me wiggle room which I'm sure has saved me from more than one ticket.
