Vespa px / How to install a SIP Speedo 2.0

[@danburkhart7856]

Thank you for that amazing tutorial! I just received my speedo and LED headlight....and after removing my handlebar cover....I was very confused. SIP does not put out a tutorial and you have de-mystified all of the confusing steps. I also appreciate the correction between wiring to red vs. white wire on the ignition> i would have made the same mistake for sure. Thank you!

Great that my video could be of help 👍, and thanks for watching.

Very clean install.

[@Nordicexplorer1]

Thanks.

Thanks Mate 👍

Great video. I need to replace my original speedo as the odometer got stuck. I bought this from SIP but I am useless installing these things. Do I really need to install/run the temperature cable? I don’t really need it. If it is a requirement, does it really need to go to the engine as shown? I don’t understand what that has to be so awkward and why a temperature cable needs to connect in that way? Any help would be greatly appreciated

[@Nordicexplorer1]

@@MrMarcopenna Hello. You don’t need to connect the temperature cable. This is only interesting for those who have tuned their engine and want to be able to control the engine temp.

[@MrMarcopenna]

@@Nordicexplorer1thank you so much for the prompt reply. Makes sense and much appreciated

[@Nordicexplorer1]

@@MrMarcopenna No worries 👍

[@MrMarcopenna]

@@Nordicexplorer1losing the will to live ! Just tried everything as per the instruction (not bothered with temperature cable). Connected everything and when I turn the keys on the speedo is dead. Nothing comes on. Tried connecting red wire to both, the white one at the front and then back to the red to red. Same symptoms. Brown is connected to yellow/black and black to black as suggested. For the record my Vespa is a PX 125 2014 unmodified and I can turn it on via the electrical start so I think battery should be fine (?). To make matters worse I don’t have a multimeter at hand so was hoping wiring would match and work. Any help from anyone much appreciated.

[@Nordicexplorer1]

@@MrMarcopenna the Vespa in the video is a 2015, so they should be alike. Tried to connect the red directly to the battery to see if it starts up?

[@gogo22976]

Are you not concerned about the spark plug being in a wrong position after installing the temperature ring? It is further out of the cylinder.

[@Nordicexplorer1]

No it wasn’t a issue, worked just fine 👍

[@ericalhamdani]

Will it safe from spark plug fire ?

[@Nordicexplorer1]

@@ericalhamdani yes, not a problem

Very good video, I finally bought it and I'm installing it, but. I've been able to pass the temperature sensor cable through the chassis for 3 hours and it's impossible, the connector always gets stuck, any ideas?

[@Nordicexplorer1]

Can you get a cable/wire through the chassis that you can attach to the connector and then pull it through?

[@joseae072]

@@Nordicexplorer1 I have passed a steel cable (the one from the clutch) the cable passes, but when putting the connector on both one side and the other it always gets stuck

[@Nordicexplorer1]

@@joseae072 from which end are you trying to pull it through? How far do you get before it get stuck/ do you know where it get stuck?

[@joseae072]

@@Nordicexplorer1 I have tried in all ways, with the female connector and with the male, from rear to front and from front to rear, it always gets stuck at the brake pedal, I have tried everything. The cable only passes, I have tried another cable, but the connector does not.

[@Nordicexplorer1]

@@joseae072 have you removed the plastic in the bottom under the fuel tank, this way you can get your arm in and reach all the way to the brake pedal. Or you can remove the brake pedal and maybe see something that way. Have you tried to pull it through on each side of the steering head, on the side where the clutch cable goes and on the side where the throttle cable goes?

[@seanmcgee836]

Does the original fuel sensor work on this?

[@Nordicexplorer1]

Yes it does 👍

[@stuarttiainen5433]

So is tacho only working with lights on?

[@Nordicexplorer1]

I don’t own the bike any more, but as I recall you must have the light on for the tacho to work.

[@stuarttiainen5433]

@@Nordicexplorer1 I thought so... thank you 😊

[@antuljeskov0116]

Im not sure if I understand. Can it be installed on PX200E '84 which doesn't have baterry?

[@Nordicexplorer1]

No battery should be needed, it runs on 12ac/dc.

[@dennfett]

Thinking of getting one of these. Can you set it for mph?

[@Nordicexplorer1]

Yes you can set it for mph 👍

[@tiadorex]

do i have to connect the rpm signal wire to the spark plug or?

[@Nordicexplorer1]

No, it should go to the 12v light cable

Hello. Can you Translate to English? 😁

[@donatorossi6313]

hello for the fuel gauge did you connect a cable

[@Nordicexplorer1]

@@donatorossi6313 no it’s connected through the multi plug.

[@cinunuk99]

Have you ever tried it on the streets in rainy conditions? and is there any water that can get into the glass from between the corners of the speedometer so that it makes the glass fog up?

[@cinunuk99]

I once asked my friend who also uses a SIP speedometer like the one you use in this video, and he said that if the speedometer is used in rainy conditions there are traces of rainwater that gets into the glass through the corners of the speedometer, is that right?

[@Nordicexplorer1]

@@cinunuk99 I haven’t had that issue with my speedometer.

[@cinunuk99]

@@Nordicexplorer1 so the speedometer is still safe to use in rainy conditions, no water gets into the glass through the corners of the speedometer glass?

[@Nordicexplorer1]

@@cinunuk99 I’m on my second bike with this speedo and so far that has never happened. On the other hand it’s not that often I ride in rain. But it hasn’t happened when I’m washing the bike either.

[@cinunuk99]

@@Nordicexplorer1 okay noted, thanks for the answer btw

[@jmsprrdplsss]

Do you need to empty and disconnect the fuel tank when lifting out for cable access?

[@Nordicexplorer1]

Hello. No you don’t need to empty the tank. Close the fuel crane. If you are lucky the hose for the fuel and the hose for the oil are long enough so that you can lift the tank out without removing them. If they aren’t long enough you can loosen them by the carburettor and back them out with the tank. Remember to plug the oil hose with something so the oil doesn’t pour out.

[@danielepedrazzini5391]

Ciao ma impianto deve essere a corrente continua?

[@Nordicexplorer1]

It runs on 12V ac/dc. 👍

[@ericalhamdani]

Rpm and temp on mine dead, any solution sir ? Brown wire installed as manual on light source at magnet. Temp suddenly dead when ride, installed on spark head also.

[@Nordicexplorer1]

This is not a problem I have come across myself, so I don’t have a good answer to this question. The first thing is of course to check all wiring. I assume the rpm has worked from start and then given up?

[@muhammadizzat448]

It is just pnp for px150?

[@Nordicexplorer1]

Yes it is

[@TheLethrblaka]

If the rev counter doesnt work but everything else does do you have any idea what happened?

[@Nordicexplorer1]

If it hasn’t worked from the start then you can check that the brown wire is connected right.

[@mohdkhirullah4103]

My heat sensor dont work, what to do ?

[@Nordicexplorer1]

Check the connections. The sensor can break sometimes

[@mohdkhirullah4103]

Ok i’ll check, maybe need to change the connector

[@Nordicexplorer1]

@@mohdkhirullah4103 it’s not unusual that the cables brakes by the sensor.
