• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Question from a future motarder,

Once I put on the sumo tires my speedometer and odometer will be off since the smaller rims and tires. Question is, is there a way to change the factory settings to get the correct numbers or am I better off setting up a completely new display? The bike would probably stay in sumo form for 90% of the time but there are some trails that I don't mind riding round here but wouldn't necessarily need it to be that accurate because I would trailer it to the trails while it's got the dirt setup.

Wondering what other people have done
Thanks,
CBC
 
I think you can change from kph to mph easily but once the wheel diameter is set it's set. Might be the other way round though.
 
I have just converted my te250 over to sm and I was asking myself all the same questions.

From what i can gather online the stock speedo cannot be reset.

At the moment i'm running the stock disc with the magnet pickup so i can utilise the stock speedo until my caliper relocation bracket comes for my 320mm disc. I tapped my iphone to the bike and check the speed with a GPS speedometer app and it was reading 5kph faster.

The only real solution is buying a new computer like a Trail Tech Vapor. It comes with a new speedo pickup and you can program 2 different sized wheels for an accurate speed reading. You can also pre set your current odometer reading from the old speedo.
 
Awesome, I think I will probably just buy a new computer than... they don't look quite as good as stock but there really isn't a way around it.
Thanks!
 
nope as per the service manual on first power up you have to set it for smr or te specs. Then that is it.

I am looking to do the same but am terrified what ktm will charge for that speedometer.
 
Look up "Healtech SpeedoHealer" for SM wheel swaps and any change in wheel diameter to correct the speedometer. They have many applications, with some great additional features as well, some models cross over from other models and work on a few bikes. Cost is $120.00 or less. These will correct the stock inaccuracies as well.

For instance the Speedohealer part # SHV4+SH-DO1 that will work for the BMW G450X chassis that I have, is also the part # specific for one of the Ducati models also.
