The guy that owned my bike before me ended up going down 2 teeth on the rear sprocket which has made my speedo over estimate by about 25%. But what I'm more worried about is my odometer not being accurate. I was looking at getting a "Speedo Healer" since that seems to be the most popular option but wanted to get your guys opinions.
Has anyone on here had any experience changing the signal to the speedo in any way? I also have an FTECU harness but I don't think they support speedometer corrections for the FZ10.
Any help is always appreciated!

I've used a SpeedoDRD, pretty much the same thing as the Speedo Healer. They are plug n play - all you really need is your correction factor and that can be calculated on their website.
If the previous owner went down two teeth on the rear your speedometer and odometer readings would be lower than actual, not overestimated. RPMs at a given speed would be less than stock, mileage might increase, less acceleration. Honestly, I think your money would be better spent putting a sprocket with original tooth count back on. Your speedo readings will be correct and the bike should ride better.

I counted and I think its 41 teeth in the rear so I might try to see if he still has the stock rear and try to get it back and see how I like it. But i looked up the SpeedoDRD and I'm liking it a lot better than the healer, its cheaper and seems more compact! Did you have to buy a bike specific harness? I was looking and it stated a lot of Yamaha's but none were the FZ10 so I'm guessing they just haven't updated in a while. I appreciate it! Edit: I was thinking and he told me he went down 2 teeth to match the front so he may have gone down two teeth in the front also....? |

Count the teeth is probably the only way you're gunna figure this out. Mark a tooth with a permanent marker and just rotate the wheel and count them.
Can't remember if the front sprocket is fully covered or if you can see it from the side. That might be a bit harder, you might have to pop that cover off.

Well obligatory I’m an idiot statement and trusted a County Police speed meter thing that put false ideas in my head! I took my bike out today with a GPS speed app and the speedometer is right on the money so he apparently did match the front sprocket. Thanks for all the info though you guys. Hopefully I can use it in the future or some else will! (Still going to take that front cover off so I can see what front sprocket is on it when I clean the bike today)
