I'm betting that a tire change to a different aspect ratio would result in nearly a 5% difference.

Adjusting the Jaycar unit is as simple as turning one, or both of the potentiometers, and you can do that with the screwdriver in the tool kit, which is stored under the pillion saddle. In contrast, adjusting the SpeedoDRD is more involved, and that speedo corrector costs $70.

All electronics will succumb rapidly to getting wet. Waterproofing electronics is very easy. Silicone bathtub caulk does a fine job. Heck, all those billions of old school small block Chevy engines out there have been running since 1954 with the intake manifold ends sealed with gorilla snot of one form or another. Permgasket makes a half dozen products that will work. 3m makes maybe 1.2 billion different products that will work.

It's Monday morning in Australia, so I hope I get a reply from the vendor today. I think this unit is an excellent value. I'm sure it would cost me more to make one of these units myself than the price the vendor is charging.

If this unit is as user friendly as stated and is available at the estimated price...Sign me up for one. I agree that the waterproofing issue should be a minor fix. Thanks for investigating this option for all RX3 owners!

Agreed. You'd probably be happy with Permatex clear, which is a little easier to remove if needed. It begins the curing process in 15 minutes, and cures fully in 24 hours. Good stuff.

The very best way to find your roll out is what I call the oil spot method.
On a clean surface put a single drop of oil (any liquid will do) on your front tire. Roll bike straight and upright to put tow linear marks on the ground. Measure distance from front edge to front edge. This will be your true roll out including any flex in the tire carcass. Use this measurement to input for speed calculations.
