Default Gas Gas 300 speedo/computer & wiring

i'm trying to uderstand what the computer does for me. 1st- since tthe pickup is on the rear axle, if the wheels spin the speedo will be off... what use is that?
2nd- it reads in Km/h, is there any way to make it read in mph?
3rd- i understand the speed indicators & distance calculators, but is it also a run time meter for the engine?

i started investigating seting up the fan to run full time, now i'm looking at it and the rest of the wiring harness and wondering what is actually useful.... seems like a lot of dead weight for anybody that races... or never rides at night.
from what i can tell, two wires come out of the lighting coil, yellow is hot, red is cold(ground)... a third comes out with the other two but was taped back onto the other two at the factory & dead-ends. when it all goes into the harness, yellow remains yellow, buth the red wire becomes a yellow w/ green stripes..... so i believe with just a few connectors & short pieces of wire i can wire around all of it & eliminate it all except the fan, kill switch, & ignition system... do i dare it????

i wish i had a real wiring diagram.

Default Gas Gas 300 speedo/computer & wiring


following the instructions on the tech section at gasgasatv.com, i have now wired it up so the fan runs off the stator coils instead of the lighting coils. the entire lighting wire harness is off, along with the horn, lights, switch assembly, and dash board. i just needed to make a few pieces of patch wires with solderless terminals so that i didn't have to cut any wires at all.
i can post instructions if anyone wants them.
i plan to remove the lighting coils as well as the fywheel magnets(about 13 oz.)...which should really make it fly! all the stuff is going into a box to be shelved... so i have it in new condition if/when i decide to sell it (if ever.)
i gave up on the computer, never had one before & it's more hassle than it's worth... it came off too.
