Abdul Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hey guys I was thinking about buying the trail tech vapor from amazon for 130$ , does it really worth the money ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulvafan537240 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 It's good for reading temp and mph if you calibrate it with a GPS. The rpm reading isn't accurate though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am new to the atv world so what do you mean by calibrate it with a GPS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulvafan537240 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Trail techs instructions tell you to measure the diameter of the tire and enter it in to set up the speedo but it's not accurate. Get a handheld GPS or use a GPS app on a smartphone to verify and tweak the setting until its correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulvafan537240 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Just hold a cell phone in your hand with a free downloaded GPS speedo app and look at it while doing, say 50mph and see if the vapor reads 50. If not, stop and adjust it. Pretty simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulvafan537240 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I don't but its simple to install. I used one of my old brake dust shields to install the wheel speed sensor. That was the most difficult part of the installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apeik Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Just gonna put it out there, I love mine, mainly for the engine temp and warning lights. The rpms are somewhat unreliable though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
