What year bike? Is the speed pickup the magnet on spoke or the new hub mounted sensor? I tried one of those on my '19 Wabash with the hub mounted sensor with no success. Now I'm wondering if it might have just been a bad unit.
Yamaha PW speed unlockers... SpeedBox2 vs EPlus vs BadAssBox 4 or 3.4

It’s a 2019. With the new hub sensor.
note that this is different from previous speedbox 2 models—it is specifically meant for “Yamaha-branded bikes”

Should be printed on the tuner.

The SpeedClip/Bada$$ Box has been great. Easy to install and remove when needed and they supply a replacement wing nut for the spoke magnet.
There is no speed cutoff above 20mph and the power delivery is unchanged. Here is a quick photo summary of the installation process.

Ahh great thanks for that. Still waiting for my speed experience to arrive.

Here's another one on ebay:

Seems like they send a modified speed to the display (half or dummy leading digit which probably won't help with MPH)

Hope you didn't order from them. That site screams scam. Note similarity of emails: https://www.scammer.info/d/26104-fake-shopping-sites-related-to-vinayotap-com

For those of us with the original PW motor this seems to be the best bang for the buck:

Oh no... It is now in my possession and waiting to be mounted. I hope I do not get scammed. I read 100s of reviews of many satisfied customers, however, that does not mean anything till you use it. I try using Fakespot for Amazon purchases also, to ward off any potential scam reviews. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm surprised you got it, ha. If they actually sent you something as opposed to just taking the money and stalling perhaps it is legit. It just didn't make sense to me that they would have a plethora of unique items at steep discounts with a generic storefront that is often used by scammers.

FltatSix911 in this thread has the exact same box that I received. He claims that the unit works great. More points to ponder on this issue. Time will tell. I'll post an update later.

What country did your package arrive from? The comments in this thread makes me think they are just another Chinese store front, mostly used by scammers.

Its origin was from a city in Germany. BTW- I have good news. I tested the unit most of the day and it is working as advertised. In other words, it looks totally legit. Time will tell, however, I will make any/all future updates where applicable. Thanks for your inquiry.What country did your package arrive from?

FlatSix911- Magnet position has to be dead on. Took a few tries to get it exactly in the correct position per your diagram. Now I am flying to over 30mph with even a bigger smile on my face. This unit rocks! Changes the whole experience. I'll hookup my Cateye speedometer for accurate readouts.

Glad to hear you are enjoying the freedom of no limits.
I also use my Garmin watch to track my route, elevation, etc.

Yes I have seen that and appears to be a much cheaper option than purchasing a delimiter. I agree, looks like it does basically the same thing.

Good idea. I was looking into whether I should add a GPS cycle computer, wireless, etc. I have also read that a wireless cycle computer (Analog or Digital) may have a few hiccups due to all of the additional electronic signal interference on our bikes. Not sure how that all works, however, sounds like it would be more prudent to use a GPS vs wireless. Mixed reviews on many name brands like Sigma, Cateye, Bontrager, Polar, etc, however, seems like Garmin is one of the most trusted brands as far as I can see.Glad to hear you are enjoying the freedom of no limits.
