Yes you can, the YellowBox from www.blackrobotics.com is all you need.

Re: When you Gear a bike...adjusting the speedo

I actually found a cop that was doing a speed trap at night and pulled up beside him, told him the bike was geared and I wanted to figure you far off the speedo was, and asked him if he couyld radar me.
turned out he had laser so it was almost exact.
So when my speedo said 30 I was really going 25, and when it said 60 I was really going 50. So from that you can tell that actual speed (for me) is 5/6 of indicated speed. So what I do to figure out my speed is divide by 6 and multiply by 5.

Buy a speedo healer, it's 90 dollars but corrects your speedo by a percentage at every rpm. Yellow box I've heard will only correct your speedo at 1 speed. Plus speedo healers are plug and play and offer features such as top speed recall etc.

Just a note, the YellowBox does correct by a percentage so it will be correct at all speeds. However the top speed recall function of the healer is nice, plus it is $10 cheaper.
