How to Install the Vapor Speedometer / Tachometer on a Dirt Bike

[@MintyMotos]

Definitely one of the best and cleanest how to videos I have seen!! Very clear!!

[@Dave1567]

This video deserves an Oscar for best motion picture!

[@robloubier803]

Excellent video. Could you describe exactly how you spliced Vapor into the Tusk Enduro kit battery. Or perhaps a picture of the connection. Thank you !

[@josiahellenwood]

quite possibly the best instructional video ever made. very well done haha

[@trevorjameson3213]

Excellent video, thank you for explaining the installation on this device. I have a '99 XR250R that I've been wanting to upgrade with a speedometer, and now I think I'll go ahead and order one of these units.

[@Johnnysshop]

Thanks for watching Trevor, love mine so far!

[@anderspan1226]

Hello! Did you happen to stay with the stock stator or did you have to get a new one generating more power?

[@Hem1vtec]

I know this was back in 2018 but hopefully you still check in your page... What amp fuse do we put when we wire up the power to the battery?

[@project4stroke876]

Thank u so much man! Im a noob when it comes to wiring and I wanted to order one of these for my 01 xr400r u helped a lot!

[@Cherry_Creek_Crip]

Thank you for the tutorial, I am going to order one but does the arm that holds the display in place come with it or do you have to order the arm?

[@1es4s5]

Great video. You are very skilled at making videos and wrenching.

[@1Sniper6661]

I'm a noob just starting up this video was amazing thank you!!!!

[@dave88face]

This was what I was waiting to see I'm putting the same on my bike

[@Johnnysshop]

It's super easy to install!

[@guiltygearcore]

Very detailed explanation on how to install. Thank you sir.

[@hpiproceed97pcp20]

Thank you !!!! The best video trail tech should take it for there website !

[@Johnnysshop]

Wow, thanks!

[@motoresruedas7357]

I'm using a tachometer called captain from runleader and has the same features than the vapor but costs half price. Nice video

[@shawnhernandez8031]

Link?

[@hhstarwars]

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]

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

[@hhstarwars]

@@georgesmiljanich3858 thank you for the response I’m new to the wiring thing and just wanted to make sure that was the way it worked.

[@joshwike8507]

Are you charging your tusk battery with a regulator rectifier? Or using the provided wall charger?

[@johndifabrizio4344]

Is the connection to a water cooled 2 stroke just as easy?

[@santiago.devittoriodevitto1876]

Hi there, mine stays on after turning bike off. Do you have a way to turn it off? Put a brand new battery and dont want to get it drained. Cheers!

[@NipponHontou]

Hey there, do you have a follow up on the VAPOR when riding it? I just purchased it and I'll be installing it this weekend.

[@mikethesoundgoat3392]

Can I use this time for a racing go kart?

[@Jp_indoors]

Can you put this on a 2005 Yamaha 250 F?

[@superdave3894]

Does it take a special wire for the tachometer I’m trying to setup another kind of speedo, tac odometer display

[@anthonyasin4402]

Do you know how to reset it completely ? I habe bought one but not new !!!!!

[@richie9777]

That looks pretty smart and compact too..

[@crazyeyesc.s1143]

Definitely putting this on my crf250r 2018!. Just need the liquid coolant temperature . Good video 👍🏾👍🏾🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@David20161009]

They make rad cap temp gauges just so you know

[@joelalvares8351]

Good vid thanks for sharing.... I have a question.....my bike speedo is showing a constant high speed, when I do 50 kmph the gauge Max's out at 299.9.....any idea what's causing this??

[@motorsportsandmtbcentral5885]

I love this video thank you I’m buying one for my ktm

[@jamescombs6279]

if your in deep muddy water will that destroy the sensor

[@osalcedoucmsae]

What is that tusk battery kit you mention? Is that a battery replacement? I have an 85 XL600R that I’m working on and need a new battery anyway hah considering the vapor Speedo too

[@S1reak239]

What if you bottom out your forks? Will it damage the speed sensor?

[@HondaXRseries]

How do you charge the battery ? is it possible to charge it by the stator ? Or it is necessary to charge it connecting to the wall ?

[@2759sausage]

With rpm, did u just wrap wire around or is in connected to wire

[@ii_flash_1949]

Will it kill the battery?

[@BlkwDz]

i have issues with my vapor . it was installed by the workshop mechanic. it's brand new. running over bumps or uneven road, or at the time applying front brake i notice the backlight of the screen flicker or should i say the light intermittent disappeared, Its connected to ground on my bike bosy and Positive on my ignition wire. Is there a way to solve the issue

[@BlkwDz]

i connect to my stator'

[@JanChacn]

So, the RPM sensor finally works?

[@raycapo6775]

Awesome video thanks for the walk through. Question on the fuse you mentioned, was that built into the upgraded battery or something you added?

[@tylermetcalfe5670]

i need to know this too did you ever find out?

[@purepuyear]

Can u still see it once you put cross bar pad back on??

[@stevenbeebe5419]

I love this product 👍

[@Wowdude413]

How do I do it without a battery

[@st.coiled]

how you gon power something without power?😂

[@getdealtwithquick]

Am I the only one who finds these way overpriced for how ancient the Tech is?

[@dronedude4185]

the fuck do u mean

[@cjohn8440]

I just bought one and thought the same. And it’s 3 years after your comment. It is a great unit though and pretty much the only game in town.

[@boyhangintv1379]

im planning to mount this one in my XR 200...how much for this one?

[@zero2sixty420]

What did you do with the stock speedometer cable?

[@brucebanner2039]

Unhook cable

[@kikobaliko3051]

Would this work on inline 4 bikes?

[@brycevonstein1316]

Do you needed the 12 V battery I have no electricity on my bike I just want to know my speed

[@theslaviccookie5137]

It has a watch battery in the back,just not Uber bright

[@aarondoyle558]

Can you wire it to a magneto

[@kappa7651]

thanks man, u just save my husqy 250 from 2008

[@sycomotorider9460]

How does that rpm wire get a reading if it's just wrapped around the sparkplug boot

[@Johnnysshop]

Inductive tach. Believe it's measuring when piston is TDC

[@sycomotorider9460]

@@Johnnysshop thanks man I appreciate the reply and great video as well very helpful and definitely made me alot more comfortable to go out and buy one and know it'll all work and how easy it really is to install

[@RuralLifeAndFamily]

I got. Kx250f. It’s got no battery. Should I install a battery on my bike somewhere?

[@motorsportsandmtbcentral5885]

Sonny Garcia no there is no room if you already don’t have an electric start or battery sorry 😐

[@RuralLifeAndFamily]

I figure that after doing some research. It’s all good. I got a mtb speedo and a radiator temp tank cap. That’s all I need.

[@Johnnysshop]

Probably not much room.

[@anderspan1226]

@@RuralLifeAndFamily but would it be possible to run it without a battery?

[@RuralLifeAndFamily]

Anders Pan I was told no at my local shop

[@TheLelo23]

Great video , im getting one

[@LvWeeb]

you can run it to the ignition

[@bruddaozzo]

What's the deal with different wheel sizes and where u install the sensor on the wheel? Surely the speedo is calibrated for a certain size/distance? Wouldn't this be really innacurate?

[@ronanrogers4127]

Нет

[@patw9175]

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?

[@Johnnysshop]

Yikes!

[@amulyamalakar15]

Will my km reset to 0

[@Jake.filmz_]

Nice video

[@officialmysteriousrider6327]

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

[@ashtonhefner2833]

How much is it

[@davidallen8960]

If you haven't noticed by now, your brake line should be routed inside the fork tube to the caliper, not outside as you have it..

[@DrKonstantin]

Датчик температуры под свечу устанавливается.

[@ViezeVingertjes]

I would be quite afraid for that speedometer sensor, that it would get loose and spin into something. :x It's just tape afterall.

[@jakejones3921]

It would shred it to peices

[@flaash1067]

You sound like Jerry from moonshiners

[@isaacroc]

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 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gV7PoXxoYs93rtk 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...

[@zero2sixty420]

This requires soldering? 🙄

[@zmk4555]

No fuel indications 😢
