Does anyone know how to calibrate the speedometer on the 2020 Vader or any other NEWER Chinese bike? I've tried Youtube, calling these dealers, attempting to contact Baodiao themselves.
- The trick with holding the left button after startup does nothing. - The trick with holding both buttons after startup does nothing. I am about 7-10mph off and simply cannot just "wing" the speed all the time. If anyone can help me with this please. Thanks! |

Btw...both of these methods do not work on my 2020 Vader.

I also had no luck. Speedo is off by about 20%. Says 60mph at a gps 50 mph and it jumps around too. I noticed in the video when the dash boots up it sweeps up then down on the rpm gauge. With mine it just sweeps down from the top. Seems anyone with the freshest batch of these vaders hasn't been able to crack it. I'm just happy my rpm and gas gauges work. I use my cell phone for speed for now.

I did the speedo cal on my 2020 Vader per the video (FOR THE MOST PART) When you turn the key ON, you much push BOTH buttons at teh same time rather quickly.Then it will advance to teh E2 screen. If you get it wrong, do it again until it hits it. Then follow the rest of the film. Took me about 15 minutes to figure it out about hitting the 2 buttons really quick after you turn the key on.

Yes. This really sucks. Hard to believe they would use something that is so far off, and that can't be calibrated. Seems the only solution for a working speedo is to replace the entire unit with one that can be calibrated? Has anyone here tried that? Maybe one like this? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005...5cd42e0eo9J1Zd

Install the SpeedoDRD U1. It's a universal calibrator. Very easy to install and calibrate any digital speedometer.

how do you calibrate x-pro x24 aka Baodiao bd250-5
Does anyone know how to calibrate this model?
Pressing both buttons simultaneously after turning ignition does bring it to a program screen and shows “p0000”. What do I do after that? This is the speedometer- [URL="https://www.amazon.com.au/KIKYO-Motorcycle-Speedometer-Tachometer-Replacement/dp/B08QZNGGVM" Last edited by jban123; 03-21-2022 at 07:01 PM. Reason: added more info |

Hi I'm new here and I'm looking for the answer to this same question. Has anybody figured it out yet? I have the sweep down version and so far all I can do is change from miles to km, change the color, and set the time. My speed is off by at least 10mph and jumps around a lot too.
I'm assuming most ppl here have had to upgrade yall's hardware? I bought my 2020 3 months ago with less than 300 miles on it. I have put a thousand miles on it since, but as we know that number is wrong because the speedometer is not calibrated right. Is there any possible way to fix this without having to buy some new hardware? Thanks yall! |

Yeah I've been using my phone but that's frustrating bc we shouldn't have to use GPS. Oh well, I mostly wanted my odometer to be right.

You can get cheaper than $80 on Aliexpress. That is if you want to take a chance on it being the same thing. It looks like it, but the Chinese-English descriptions are a little wonky.

There are also people that make their own speedometers with cheap micro-controller development boards.
