Trailech Vapour

Post by funnymachine » Wed Aug 26, 2009 9:21 pm

Hello;

I just put one of these on my TRX and the RPM reading is really really random.

I have searched the forum for the word 'vapour' and can't seem to find anything on it here?

I have seen pics with TRX with them fitted.

So, does anyone have one fitted?

Where are the clocking the RPM from?

Any help appreciated - mine is ticking over at 4,000 RPM and rising.

Thanks

Mark

It's a Trailtech Vapor, not 'vapour' which is maybe why search isn't showing anything ;)

Mine's wrapped around the right hand coil wire and shows an idle of around 1000rpm. Are you sure you've got the pulse thingy set correctly. If I remember right, there is a choice between 0.5, 1 and 2- set it to 1 (I think) and it should read right. You can tap into the left hand coil or off the cdi to get a more stable signal, but I'm lazy and just really needed a speedo so am not too bothered about the tacho function (which is too small to be of any real use anyway).

Aha - the old you say tomato I say tomato thing...

Vapor you say.

I connected mine to the gray wire that feeds the original tach.

That didn't work too well.

So I tried the feed to the left coil.

I don't really want to wrap the wire around the HT lead, it will look crap - but I guess I ought to try to eliminate errors.

Thanks for your help

Best
