Motorcycle Repair: honda speedometer ratio, speedometer gear, drive shaft


Question
ive got a 2007 sabre 1100 and am considering putting a rake kit on it but by doing so it does away with stock speedometer and indicator lights on triple clamp.in my research to find speedo with indicator lights i learned that there are several ratios out there. can you help me out.thanks,Richard

Answer
Sorry Richard but my experience is with older pre 82 Hondas.  However, if you take the cable off the speedometer gear on the front wheel and watch the drive shaft inside while you turn the wheel, you can count the turns for every turn of the wheel.  That will get you pretty close.
