I put one on my sons WR250 and it worked perfectly until a massive endo took it out. Water had no effect on it. They are as accurate as you set the wheel diameter to. Set it too big or small and the accuracy goes away.

I had one on my Warrior and found it to be good.

It records:

Current speed, maximum speed, average speed, trip miles (or km depending on how you set it), total miles, trip hours, total hours.

Also has a maintenance minder and can be set up for two different machines, though you would need a duplicate sensor kit on the second machine.

I had to replace the sensor on mine once. Not sure what happened with it, but Trailtech replaced the unit free of charge and without proof of purchase too. They supposedly had a bad bunch of cables that were manufactured on a particular date, and I purchased my unit around that date. Their customer service was excellent.

The unit also has a backlight that activates on pressing a button and stays lit for 5 seconds ..

If you get the trailtech billet dash, you probably wouldn't have to worry about rollovers hurting the unit, unless a rock just happens to smash right in the middle of the dash ..

I know you could get them at rocky mountain .. I'm in Canada, so my choices were more limited. Got mine from ATV Charlies in Nova Scotia. They were around $70US when I was looking .. the billet dash was just as much though ..

Just be sure to set your tire circumference right in the unit and you'll have no troubles with it. Don't just take the tire size for granted, they show how to properly measure it for the best accuracy.

Good luck and hope this was helpful.
