This would be ok to use with your standard clocks in place has it mounts to the handle bar plus your normal speedo wouldn't be affected by legal reasons as the speedometer cable would be in same place I could just use this for the tachometer part good video mate

Is there a way to solve the issue

Excuse me not knowing much about wiring but the wire you wrapped around the coil do you literally just wrap it around ? Or what is a wire tie does that connect them?

@georgesmiljanich3858 2 жыл бұрын

Yep, just wrap it around. Zip ties are just to hold it. By doing so it creates a sort of coil that picks up on when the spark plug is firing. Hope this helps

Ah yes, install the arm to the mount before the bike. Makes perfect sense. I totally didn't have to go rummaging through my tool box to look for a replacement nut after dropping the supplied one into the shadow realm. I'd also like to thank Suzuki for making their rotor bolts out of some mystery paper mache metal because christ they're all softer than puppy dog shit. After rounding off two of them I just drilled the first one. They didn't say in the manual that the rotor/wheel combo was one of those parts that should last the lifetime of the bike ;'D edit: Also, I don't think any of their engine temperature sensors are long enough to reach from anywhere near the engine to the dash. Like the one that you splice into a coolant hose has less length than the speed sensor wire. What's up with that?

hello, I am installing a vapor trail tech on my crf 450. but having issues with the speed sensor. I had to drill a hole for the magnet bolt as the one honda sold me was too small for replacing on the brake disk. I drilled the caliper exactly like on this video from trailtech itselt kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZOco6xjktCoqKs.html and my bolt isn't meeting the sensor too far up or down actually on the angle. I had a signal when moving the magnet with hands in front of the sensor but not now that it is installed. Do you think that it could be the distance between magnet and sensor ? because they are actually really close from each other, like almost touching...
