    Hi guys. I just completed the supermoto conversion on my 2012 WR300.

    Only issue is that the speedometer now of course shows very high numbers. Is there any way to reconfigure the OE speedometer for 17" wheels? Did read through the WR300 manual but nothing there. I figured maybe the same dashboard is used on some of the SMS/SMR models as well?

    does it use a geared drive and a cable?
    if so get the geared assembly from a SM

    Easy fix is to use an aftermarket meter like a Trail Tech.

    I have the same issue with my '87 430sm that I'm using speedo and headlight from my '14 Wr300.
    I looked through the owners manual too and didn't see an option for tire size in the manual or in the menu on the speedo.
    Unfortunatley I don't think it's possible with this speedo. I use my phone with a speedometer app. IMG_2665.jpeg

    Pickup ha no effect on heel diameter. It only picks up the magnetic field from the passing of the magnet. Meter still needs to be programmed to wheel diameter.

    The Trail Tech is infinitely programmable. I know nothing about the stock one, as I never had it mounted on the bike.

    Thanks for the answers guys.

    Will try sourcing a speedo from a SMS/SMR model frmo the same era and try that instead then, as I do want to keep stock looks/functionality/wiring as much as possible.

    And yes I kinda need a speedo :) Especially to pass inspection every 24 months.

    DD is right...get a TT set up...


    the mag is on the rotor on the 12 300. no work around for that unless you go new rotor, caliper, lines, wiring, display, etc....

    just put all the stock stuff nicely packed in the parts bin and get a TT display set up. they are very nice and very accurate. it's a 1 hour job and easy peasy.

    been there done that....
