Does anyone have any input on the trail tech speedo? I just ordered one and was wondering if they work well and how hard it is to install?

 

I guess the install depends on what it is you are mounting it on.

My install was trickey as they do not make a kit for a wolverine. I ordered one for a warrior and drilled a hole in the brake rotor and then used a centerpunch to lock the magnet in place.

As for functionality, I like it. Once calibrated, gives as good a reading as a factory Honda speedo. The miles added up the same for all 83 miles ridden.

 

Thanks, It's going on an 04 raptor.

 

Looks as simple as changing out a rotor bolt and drillin a hole.

Simple.

Ride On.

Hardest part is deciding how to mount the actual speedo

 

I have the handle mount very easy to install. The directions want you to get rid of the disc brake protector, but I made it work with it on. I just have to get the speedo right. I didn't calc it correctly so it said my top speed was 109. Maybe I should just keep it this way.

 

I installed one on the wife's Warrior. Pretty easy to install and gives accurate enough readings if calibrated properly. Not real user friendly though IMO. I have to get the directions out everytime I want to change something. Still, it's a good product overall.

 

I don't think you even have to drill putting it on a Raptor. My kit came with a special bracket for mounting the sensor on a Raptor.

If you're mechanically inclined at all you should have it installed in under an hour providing you have the tools on hand. I was about 1.5 hours on my Warrior, but I had to go to the local tool shop to buy an M6 allan socket to remove the rotor bolt.

Hardest part of it all is programming the computer [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

NLWarrior01, Are you runnuing stock front tires if so what # did you put in for MPH?

 

Yeah I got stock fronts, though they're worn a bit. I measured them to be about 21.75" in diameter, giving a circumference of 1735mm.

The basic configuration for the trail tech is for km/h, but you can switch it near the beginning of the setup to mph. I'm in Canada, so I left it as km/h.
