Electronic speedo recalibration

Non-ducati but, i'm changing sprocket sizes on my other bike, a Yamaha MT03 660 and it's got an electronic speedo. The speedo is fed by a sensor at the output of the gearbox i believe so the different drive ratio will result in a false reading.
Has anyone ever fitted any speedo recalibrating devices before and/or any recommendations or tips?
Thanks -- Phil

Probably not the right answer but why not change the rear sprocket instead ?

That'll also cause a problem because the output shaft will still be turning at different revs from what the OE program expects for any given road speed.

I bought one of these https://www.yellr.com/yb_home.htm nearly 15 years ago.

1980's legally-mandated speedo optimism with a tyre size/wheel change == insanely inaccurate readings.

Ready-made harnesses for popular vehicles; but only power +/- speed signal in/out so not brain surgery to use the generic unterminated harness and add connectors.

Fitted, calibrated against GPS (it needed a tad more than I'd calculated/measured). Forgot it was there because it Just Works...

As Luddite says, once you change the ratio between the drive sprocket and the rear wheel at either sprocket, the speedo calibration will be off. Even a worn tyre will change it.

Thanks for the info guys, i'll get a look at them.

Ended up with this one from Healtech.
Plugged in to the existing plugs in the loom and a few mins to programme in the correction. Good job.
Despite the pic, it's only less than 2" long by less than 1" wide/thick (far away cow/near cow).
