Koso Yamaha bolt

Let's take a look at the new Koso meter for the yamaha bolt along with the relocation bracket (sold separately). No paid promotion everything was purchased with stimmy lol

I love how he has no shame in asserting his flatulency on the screen GOLD

[@bgibbs699]

Lol thanks 😊 I have no idea what I'm doing 😅

[@StacemanFPV]

Footage turned out great! I know nothing about bikes and meters but thoroughly enjoyed it

[@bgibbs699]

Thanks man. I lost my other hero7 in the river with the stingy v2 kwad or I could have multiple angles 😂

[@RoadRage810]

Picking up a bolt as I can't ride sport bikes any more due to age and medical conditions. It is going to be my winter project. Day 1 items going on are TC Bros bars, forward control relocation brackets, slip on, intake, this meter, fender eliminator, license plate relocation and shipping the ECU to Ivan for a flash. After that it is chopped fender and a few other goodies. Eventually we are going to be machining a Harley springer front end to fit the bolt just to do something different. It pays to be surrounded by good fabricators. 😁

[@Voltomess]

That motorcycle should come out of the factory with a tacho like this one.

[@bgibbs699]

i agree lol. Thank you for checking out the video

[@Voltomess]

@@bgibbs699 hey could you tell me what's the story behind that death wooble on those bolts? I wanted to buy him as my first bike but im kinda scared this shit.

[@bgibbs699]

@@Voltomess it's really not an issue. The main problem was with the factory tires. After changing to new tires, it seems to stop it. But it only ever happened if you were decelerating and completely let go of the bars and ride with no hands. Even with the bad tires I never could get the wobble unless I let go completely.

[@PeterOldbiker]

@@Voltomess( Xv950 cu Racer 60th) Fork preload adjuster helped. Michelin Commander 3 tires provided even more safety. My other moto bike the xsr900...I don't drive carefully 😁

Dude thank you for checking it out!!! You tha man. I want to put on different bars but the cables intimidate me.

[@ethanwheeler9744]

I have the rpm meter light but I switched it to blink on low fuel which i thought was a better use for the blinking light

[@bgibbs699]

great idea. Thank you for checking out the video

[@bgibbs699]

And I didn't know you could do that lol 😆

[@tbrownmusic]

now got my Koso instrument. The strange thing that the speedometer shows way more speed than the reality. So I have adjusted the tire percentage setting down to 75%, to get closer to the real speed. Did you have the same issue? As I see your speedometer just works great, and more or less accurate...

[@bgibbs699]

i did not adjust anything other than turning abs off because i dont have abs and i was getting the abs warning light. I would like to go in and set my shift light to be my low fuel light. Right now the low fuel indicator is kina small. thank you for watching

Try 63% for the tires to get a more accurate display.

Is the installation really plug n play? Have to do anything with the wires/plugs or something?

nope its plug n play. You buy the model that is made for your bike.

[@mr.elgailani7183]

I would like to ask if is the surface made of glass or plastic one?

[@bgibbs699]

It's either glass or really dense hard acrylic. The build quality is very good.

[@mattwilson6861]

Just installed mine but haven’t been able to ride yet. How did you get the fuel display to engage? Does it not start reading until you ride?

[@bgibbs699]

the yamaha bolt only has a low fuel light that comes on with the koso just like the factory meter. However you can go in and program an estimated range that then shows you an esimate of how much fuel is left. I did change my shift light to come on as well as the low fuel indicator just so i can see it better. Yamaha gives you .74 gal of fuel at low fuel so you have a good 20 miles to get gas

[@NovaBlade926]

@@bgibbs699 is it possible to get 30+ miles on .74 Gallon

[@bgibbs699]

@@NovaBlade926 30 might be pushing it lol i wouldn't go more than 20

[@raymondskates3797]

How did you mount your speedometer over the handlebars?

[@bgibbs699]

I purchased a relocation bracket on Amazon for the bolt. It was actually recommended to when I purchased the meter. However if you try to use the factory Guage with the bracket, there may not be enough length on the plug. The koso gives you extra

[@lordbenjenstark3792]

One day I'll get there. Just need to save up a little more cash.

Thanks for watching. I definitely recommend it.

Hello! I just installed the Koso unit. When you turn on the key but the engine still doesn't start, why is the oil lamp asleep ??? After an oil change, every older motorcycle has signaled for a little longer ... the xv950 goes to sleep immediately. I have an xsr engine still lit here. If you run out of oil..are kosos be sure to alert me?

[@bgibbs699]

Mine does the same. The oil light seems to be more sensitive than the original factory meter.

[@PeterOldbiker]

@@bgibbs699 Thanks for the reply! I checked the service manual. There is no oil pressure sensor in the yamaha 950! There is an oil level sensor😁😁 ....that's not reassuring....I hope the Japanese know what they're doing 😁

Yes I purchased the bike new with the factory speedometer. Then changed to the Koso
