Installing Speedohealer http://www.healtech-electronics.com/ Where can I find the speedometer sensor cable connectors, where can I connect the wires. I have been looking on all sides. What parts need to take off to find the connectors. Can someone tell me where the speedometer cable connectors is located. I've already bought Speedohealer and I want to connect it to change the speed correct that it does not seem too much, because the maintenance will be too soon and services are very expensive. Sorry for poor language
Hi and welcome to the forum......no need to apologise for your English, it's good! These should help: www.mts1200.info/mts12_faq/mts1200_docs/MTS1200_abs_wiring_diagram.pdf www.mts1200.info/mts12_faq/mts1200_docs/MTS1200S_abs_wiring_diagram.pdf www.mts1200.info/mts12_faq/mts1200_docs/Multistrada_1200_Wiring_Diagram_Key.pdf www.mts1200.info/mts12_faq/mts1200_docs/MTS1200_rear_speed_sensor.pdf And you should have had the very basic info from Healtech: Here is how to do the install on the Multistrada 1200 ABS model: 1) Leave the wheel sensor connectors in stock condition. 2) Cut the solid Green wire (or Green/Violet), either at the ABS computer connector or at the ECU connector. This is the speed signal wire to the ECU. 3) Splice the SH Green wire to the Green wire end which goes to the ECU module. 4) Splice the SH White wire to the Green wire end which goes to the ABS module. 5) Connect the SH Black wire to chassis ground. 6) Splice the SH Red wire to any +12V switched power lead, e.g. at the fusebox. I decided against fitting one in the end as any alteration to the speedo calibration will throw the milometer/odometer out by the same percentage. The MTS1200 odometer is 100% accurate, the speedometer reads 8% high from the factory i.e. reads 108% of actual speed. If you use a SpeedoHealer to reduce the speedo reading by 8% the odometer will read 8% low :-( Any change to gearing (sprocket change) makes no difference to the speedo/odometer as the ABS wheel sensors are used for speed/mileage data. If you go for it, lots of photos as you go and a few notes on what you do please :wink: Update - Alt:
Ok. thank you very much. My bike is base model, non ABS, it is Mts 1200 standard This is too fuckin heavy to do to brand new bike. I don´t want to cut the wires perhaps it can affect the traction control not working anymore as it should to be or something else problem with other eletric devices. My old bike was Gsx-r 1000 k9 and it was wery simple to connect the speedohealer (Two plugs) between speedometer cable. So think Ducati should be same. Anyway i´m gonna chance gearing shorter and speedometer error grows. Hope I find the tricks somewhere to do it easier.
Non ABS?....are you sure, I wasn't aware that there was a non ABS model?! Either way, as long as the speedo data is taken from a sensor on the wheel changing gearing/sprocket sizes will not change the speedo accuracy ;-) Good luck, let us know what you find out / what you do ;-)
Yes. I am very sure, non ABS. ABS is good for inexperienced and rental bikes. I have always done well without it. Thank you
Oh come on now Andy I thought you were the man when it comes to everything Multistradas! I also have a non abs model although Ducati have stopped doing them for 2012. We still have the wheel sensors for traction control & speedo etc so from an external view they look no different.
lol...I wish. Senior moment I guess...........I sometimes get the feeling I know less with each day that goes by, one too many knocks to the head?!
Hi Multistara - I got a Speedo Healer for my MTS1200 expecting that it would be a simple plug-in device like previous ones I have had. When I learned I had to cut wires, I sent it back. You don't have to worry about the services coming too often because, by all accounts, tested against GPS, the odometer is accurate. Ducati simply deliberately set the speedo to read too fast. I had a written assurance from Healtech that the ABS and traction control would not be affected, which seem right because the signal to the ABS and traction computer is not affected - only the speedo signal.
