Vapor

I put whatever the manual said for windings (6?). Try the 0.5 setting. I do remember weird numbers like that. Watch the RPMs as you rev the bike. See what the peak RPMs are.
I don't think that the windings dictate what the vapor will think the RPMs are, just how good the signal is.

It said something in the instructions about too many wraps causing it to read one pulse as two. That if this happens either change the number to 2 or remove wraps one at a time until it reads right. I changed the number to 2 because I didn't want to take the tank back off. I'm sure it is probably right. When I rode it last night to test it out it said the max rpm was just over 10K. What is your idle rpm range? I am used to working on big ugly diesel engines and a 3K idle just sounds high to me. It may very well be normal, I just don't know. What do you think?
matzilla:
Ok. Got home from work today and tried it out in the daylight. Idles at less than 1900 rpm. Max rpm during my ride was 11390. I think it is all setup.

sounds about right :mrgreen:
now just remember to not take your eyes off the trails to look at your nice gauges!

I think I would rather have a GPS on my bike. You could put a sweet little GPS on the bars for around the same money ,I think :-).
