I'm sure everybody's heard of this before and I thought about picking one up for the 2014 N1K. I heard a lot of rumors that the ABS system interferes with compatibility but I called healtech and they said it works. They shipped it and lo and behold, it wouldn't work. Spent the last few weeks back and forth with their engineers in the UK doing tests and they basically determined the standard unit isn't compatible. I'm mildly annoyed to say the least but they actually offered to make a custom unit that would specifically work for my model if I can provide some voltages for them. I'm not sure if I should bother at this point because I've already wasted a ton of time playing wire surgeon on my dash for a little speedo correction. I feel like the real upside will be resale value (not that I'm doing that anytime soon) and other 2014 N1K owners will be able to order one without this hassle I'm having. I'm probably going to go through with it when I get the time to measure voltages again (4th time doing this T__T). Thought I would share this for anybody interested in picking one up in the future.

Sorry to hear about your troubles but my experience with Healtech was great. I had them build me a custom top gear indicator (led light only comes on in 6th gear). They were great to work with and charged me the same amount as their regular gear indicator and it worked right out of the box.

Most companies today won't work with you at all, unlike they did with me and are trying to with you. Don't give up, give them a chance.

Not to be confused with the gear indicator, which works pretty well.

I sort of look at it like this Larry.. The oem speedos are very optimistic. I think the speedo gets more accurate with the changes we make in gear (sprockets/tire profile). So the bike needs those things anyways.. so when I finally get the ride-ability correct I will use a gps on a smart phone to determine the inaccuracy and keep it in my head.

Interesting. Mine is bone stock from a performance standpoint. When I get above 35 miles per hour, my speedo on the bike is consistently 3-4 miles per our off. And on the high side. Does this mean I am registering more miles than I am actually riding? Or are those independent measurements on the bike? I am going to use my GPS to find out when the weather clears up.....a week from now.

From what I've read the odo sensor is different than the rear wheel pulse and from a factory standpoint it functions correctly. The speedohealer actually registers a lower mileage readout after installation. This is all speculation from other research on speedohealers so if I'm wrong please post the correct info.
