Trail Tech computers?

Like that bellarussian girl that stole the gold medal off Valerie?

She is big and got busted.

Get back into the workshop you slack bastard.

Well this is turning into a titilating conversation.

[Eddieb]

The Acewell ones don't look bad either

Your welcome.

Cheers mate, Had a look on the Procycle site and its $165.90 for the vapour unit and the dashboard combined.
The dashboard on its own from Bits4Bikes is $108 I think so procycle is lookin pretty good even with the freight and the exchange rate.

Trail tech vapor verses vector, Any comments please from experiance re which is the better unit and why.Cheers

I am a self proclaimed TrailTech whore and have 4 TrailTech units on my bike, good range of quality products. I deal direct with TrailTech as their support is awesome. Their website freight is screwed up, they know this, email them and they'll sharpen it up to about a 1/3 the price the website indicates. I went for the Striker as every man and his bike riding dog has the Vapor.

The engine temp on my vapor is accurate according to an infrared thermo but the air temp isn't.

Short sensor lead eh? Mine is forced to remain in the fairing and reads way off due to headlight heat, but I am not too concerned with using a sensor to determine air temp, I am happy to use visual temperature indicators such as the sun, hail stones and snow

The air temp doesn't have a lead.
The heat of the unit & backlight stuffs it around.

On the DR (Acewell speedo without temp) I have a small JCar indoor/outdoor thermo on top of the right fork cap, and the pickup is mounted to the bottom of the headlight shell, out in the breeze.

Just installed a Vapor on my DR650SE and keen to know what settings you use for High & Low Temp & Revs?????

Yah donk should cut out at 9k , lot DR guys set red light to come on between 6 and 7k - id set ya yellow light for between 3 and 4k as a reminder to change gear and look after ya big piston -

I got vapor - going to see if mr google can find a graph when the optimum time is to shift (when more revving is pointless and shifting up better for optimum accleration)

When ya fitting the 725 cc kit ?

Can anyone actually see their shift lite? Maybe cos I have to look down at my speedo it doesn't catch my eye but it doesn't seem that bright.

And yes I have it set on 2500rpm so it does work every now & then smartarses

Very rarely see my lights flashing.

Setting the DR at 3-4k will mean it will flash at about 80km/hr and drive you nuts. Mine is set so it flashes at 110ishkm/hr as a sort of speed warning. its also a good time to change up in general riding. Red light flashes at 1000rpm before redline. KLR has no rev limiter that I have found yet.

Set yellow shift light for top gear higher - ya shouldnt have to rev the shit out of a thumper for normal riding - with torque being your friend

So a DR650 is pulling more than 4K at 100 km/hr ?

1st reply holds true - its a shift light not a speed meter - talking yellow shift light not the red one

[Waipukbiker]

When I got mine it had 15/43 sprockets and at 100 kph it was doing approx 4,150 RPM, Its now got 14/43 and 100 kph is now at 4,400 RPM.
(It came with a small SenDEC tach/hr meter on it). Now for some humour, Mr Suzuki reckons you should change up at the following speeds on a DR650, 1st to 2nd=20kph, 2nd to 3rd=30kph, 3rd to 4th=40kph, 4th to 5th=50kph????????????????. The bloody engine would be nearly at idle at that speed in top, Mine got chunky at 80kmh in top under load with 15/43 gearing. (That was straight out of the genuine owners manual by the way)

Bit like the XR reving at 100 - I initially thought they were 6 speed the DR - usually makes for stronger box anyway a 5 speed

Yeah does not sound on the money the manual ....
