Aw, very nice. Not a bad price either if ya got a tach and all

[drawkward]

Sounds nice. I'm going to be getting one, eventually. Glad to hear they are actually worth it. So i'm guessing the display limit is 99mph and 9900rpm?

I would assume so. I havent had a chance to get to the gas station, so I've been taking it easy on the speed. I've gotten it up to around 8000 revs though. I really wish the gas gauge would work :/ I have no idea why it's reading that it's almost full when it's almost empty.

Oh, and officially, my scooter only has 10 miles on it

I have no idea why it's reading that it's almost full when it's almost empty.

My fuel guage float pretty much turned to mush and was in several pieces in the gas tank last year. Though I replaced it and it seems to be stuck on full again Better take a look.

I had no issue with the analog fuel gauge I had on the old speedometer though. It's like the polarity is backwards on the digital one or something.

Hey, I was wondering how responsive is that tach. 1 fps? 10 fps?

[Reign]

About 1 fps. It really came in handy for tuning too. I was idling around 1000 yesterday and it almost died. Turned the idle knob til I saw around 2600, and it was perfect. No more "listening" to the engine.

Nice. Thanks for the info.

And the 2-strokes beat the 4-strokes yet again! Just got in a race with a Metropolitan. He said it would do 46 MPH top speed. I'm totally not in tune today with the giant weather change, and my exhaust is still leaking, so I figured what the hell.

According to my speedo, which tops out at 52 MPH, and then starts counting backwards, I hit 52, and rolled it backwards to 47 :jaw:
Looked in my rear view mirror, and that Metropolitan was at least half a block behind me after a 4 block race :rockon:

I can't wait to see what she'll do when she's in tune, and I get some gasket sealer! I might have to find that Aprilia that I see around here every now and then

That's what a lot of bicycle speedometers do, other than the Sigma. My old Scwhinn bike speedo would hit 52 and start rolling back as well.

Congrats on the kill. ;D

NICE ;D! I love to hear these stories :spin: ! Glad ya won man!
Sounded fun! I bet you could smoke the Ape to 45-50 or so, maybe all together? Is it a DiTech? If so, a good running (kitted) Mina will tear one up 0 to speed. They arent all that quick, just all around good...
Did that make sense :stumped: ? Man, i wanna see a vid of your scooter so bad now :idea: ! You keep talkin about your ride and i keep painting mental pics and vids, but i shouldnt have to :no: ! Can you get a video of your scooter please Mr. Reign :thumb: ?

[Reign]

It's running absolutely great today. If I get some time a little later on, I'll grab a vid for you 2strokd

I went to AutoZone and picked up a can of Permatex Copper Spray-A-Gasket. Any advice on how to seal my exhaust leak with it? I'm guessing I should spray the gasket with it, and then throw it back together quick before it dries?

Oh, and that Ape I see running around every now and then looks just like your buddies Ape.

[2strokd]

See were its leaking when you take it off, and go from there. I dont think that stuff will last tho .
Race it, bet you will win :burnout:

[Reign]

Brother just took a video for me ;D

The street outside my house is technically 30 MPH, but people normally do 40 to 45. Today the cars in front of me were doing 45, so keep that in mind when I fly by them at not even top speed :riding:

[90GTVert]

Looks like it's running strong. Thanks for the vid. :thumb:
