Has anyone ever hooked one of these up? I just ordered one today for my trip to Kermit and I wanted to know how hard it was....I am not sure if it has a plug or if you have to splice wires.

 

its pretty easy

you have to install a magnet on the front hub (either a rotor bolt gets swapped or you glue a magnet on)

then its just a matter of routing and securing the wire to the quad

i would recommend a billet dashboard to hold the computer as well

 

yeah there not that hard to set up the most difficult part will probally be measuring the tires so its accurate

 

be sure that the nuts are tight that hold the sensor to the mounting plate on the quad if you dont u have to find or in my case make new nuts to hold them together it sucked... I put lock tight on it this time. The computer itself runs on its own "watch" battery and says it will stay functional for about a year and a half... so there is no splicing or anything and yes go for the billet dashboard!!!! looks sweet and is a lot better than mounting it on the bars...

 

Thanks for the info guys....Makes me feel alot better....I wanted to be able to use it when I went on my trip but I was worried that I would not be able to hook it up and we will be waiting on ups to run that day before we leave....Cut that order close.

 

be sure to calibrate the computer to the size of your tires

i recommend the chalk/tape measure method,,,,,it is all detailed in the directions

 

Ok man i sure will....THANKS!

 

I heard that the display panel fades after time in the sun! is that true?

 

Not sure about the fading but I will keep it in the hauler while I am not riding it now for sure.

 

By the way what all does it do? I know the speedometer.....and a few others but it does not have but two things listed on the add
