    I plan on changing my rear sprocket out on my SMS630, from the stock 38 to a 41. Will this have a big effect on my Speedo? If it does is there a rough guestimate i can use to figure out my actual speeds or is there a speedo healer that's compatible with this bike? Appreciate any help.

    Speedo signal is from front wheel.

    As Willie says... Swapping out rear tire has no effect on speedo. Changing the tire configuration from SM 17/17 to TE 18/21 changes the size of the front wheel, and so does impact the speedometer . The speedo has an option to switch between the two front rim sizes. I've run with a GPS mounted speedometer and have noticed a 1-2mph slippage between the tire-based sensor and the gps, but its mostly pretty good.
