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.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

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.
