The SpeedoDRD kit is available in plug-n'-play models for a variety of different motorcycles. Today I called 12 O'clock Labs and asked about compatibility of the Zongshen RX3 plug with the different versions of the kit. After talking with Brooks, he suggested I send him a photograph of the speedometer connector for the Zongshen RX3. I sent him three photographs, and he replied that none of the models for the other bikes uses the Zongshen connector. Therefore, RX3 owners should buy the Universal (U1) kit, and will need to do a little wiring to connect the SpeedoDRD to the Zongshen speedometer.

I just found their UK store where they sell for GBP15 plus GBP5 shipping to the UK, so GBP20 / USD 30 per unit. I created an account to get shipping info.
Register for free and enter a U.S. address to see if they deliver. Jaycar advertise in a few of the U.K. electronics magasines where the mags have a "project" and Jaycar will supply all the bits and pieces for the article. Size of the speedo unit is quite small : 63(L) x 46(W) x 25(H)mm where 25mm is approx 1 inch in old money, so 2.5" x 1.85' x 1" (quick maths-in-head so check) http://www.jaycar.co.uk/productView....6&form=KEYWORD Jeff |

That is a very nice speedometer corrector with a reasonable size, and a reasonable price.
Size: 2.5" x 1.8" x 1.0" The packaged weight is only 3.5 ounces, so it should not cost much to ship. Here is a link to the product shown at the vendor's website in the United States. http://www.jaycar.us/productView.asp?ID=AA0376 If one buys ten or more units, the price is reduced to $23.00 USD, plus shipping. If anyone in the United States is interested in a group purchase of this item, let me know. I have started a new thread on this topic at the following link. http://www.chinariders.net/showthrea...913#post184913

Looks like the speedo on the V-Raptor is mechanical, from the "spares" listing. As most imports have kph speedo scale and mph is always very small, I have used "white dots" placed at 30 / 50 / 70 mph over the kph scale in the past, adjusted for 10% over-reading which is the max allowance for EUR regulations. Correction fluid pen or similar and renew when it gets faded.
Or you can be "posh" . . . Speedo Marks "Most" (not all) speed cameras give 10% plus 2 mph before processing the fine / licence points so at 50 mph, you could get away with 55/57 mph before being booked. Speeding in a 30 zone will be met with a stricter interpretation as (a) 30 is a built-up area and (b) if near a school the law has no sense of humour (quite right). An exception are our new adjustable speed limits on Motorways (Freeways) where the max speed is adjusted downwards for traffic management (slower speed stops bunching and results in higher average speed). Little or no flexibility. |

If you have a V-Raptor, I'm sure you have a mechanical, analog speedometer. This thread is in the Zongshen RX3 forum, and our bikes have a Siemen's digital dashboard.
Thank you for finding this excellent speedometer corrector, and letting us know about it.

Thanks for posting the link.
I think that speedometer calibration unit is designed for automobiles.

Did you bump this because you are looking for a way to make the RX3 speedometer more accurate? If so, check out the SpeedoDRD. Many of us used it to correct the speedo on ours. They sell manufacture specific kits and a universal kit. The only difference in the manufacture specific kits is they contain a plug for the bike. So if you find a good deal on a specific bikes SpeedoDRD, buy it, cut off the plugs and then wire things up. Here is the thread on a specific how-to to install it on the RX3.
