Vapor dash- how accurate?

Post by Kayla » Sat Sep 20, 2008 1:35 pm

How accurate are the tacho and temp gauge on the Vapor dash thingy? I'm not too chewed about the accuracy of the speedo as I can't really hang on to the bike much past 100mph now it's nekkid :lol:

As long as the fan kicks in, who cares about the water temp?

My TrailTech is accurate for speed (against the GPS) but the ambient temperature gauge is shite so who knows... On my Katy at least I could fit the temperature sender on either the flow into the cylinder or the flow out, I still don't know which one I chose, so it rather depends on what you want to measure. I'm siding with the knowledgeable Phuker on this one.
As far as the tach's concerned I would be surprised if it was wrong...
