  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

My standard speed sensor wire stop working and was about same price to buy a trail tech kit and use their speed sensor cable which is direct fit.I want to install the trailtech dash but keep the standard one for neutral light and indicator lights plus any error codes.Who here runs standard and a trailtech dash as I want the temperature and shift lights of the trailtech mainly .I have a lithium battery so I don't think extra dash will make any difference or drain it etc.Just wondering where people mounted the trailtech and if they hooked up all sensors etc thx in advance
 
All hooked up just not getting a good rpm reading bouncing way too much at idle

I wrapped the RPM wire just above the spark plug wire (per Trail Tech) with black electrical tape and don't have a problem.

As for mounting... I made a template from a small piece of metal and mounted it right to the triple clamp bolts. It's bit tricky to get it on and off when needed... but it works fine!!!
 
I just got mine in the mail. I hope to get a chance to install this week. Ill let you know how its goes and if I have the same issues.
 
Update I've tried wrapping the spark plug lead all different locations and number of times and still can't get a constant rpm it will idle fir example 1800-1900 then suddenly jump to 3000+.I've also tried the coil spade connection and the coil lead but no good.I've tried changing the ppr settings and that makes it go ridiculous low in rpm.All other sensors work great no problems I'm thinking maybe it's because I still have standard dash fitted aswell as I want to see any error codes and neutral light.Also I have a jd fuel tuner not sure if that affects them either.After googling the problem seems like alot have this problem and it may actually be the resistor sensor which they have given me for my other bike too as that's their newer sensor as before it had to be grounded.
 
I noticed mine yesterday that it will idle fine but when you snap the throttle it will take a few seconds for the computer to "catch up" so to speak..... Not a 100% system but I like the other features it has!!!
 
I had a spare hour last night, it looks like the old nissin brakes on my yammy arent conducive with the speed sensor. I will have to shim it away somehow as now it will hit the disk if I mounted the wheel. I will try the tacho soon hopefully.
 
I wrapped my plug wire about 6 or 7 times (a little more than the 5 trailtech recomends) then used electrical tape, and then used a peice of split hose with small zip ties to protect the whole contraption. Worked well so far, I get a strong tach signal.
 
Trailtech have now told me I should have the grounded rpm sensor for my bike and posted one immediately they are really helpfull Justin and Brian been big help hope it works better as got one for ny cr500 which has resistor rpm sensor too
 
Just installed the speed sensor on the caliper last night. I had to shim it out a few mm with some washers. When I connect the unit and spin the wheel I get speed proportional to the spin speed. Ill do the tacho next.
 
Ok cool I just got clarification that my speed sensor are not resistor type I thought ones with 1 red wire no grounding was but I was wrong.The resistor type has a resistor covered in shrink wrap just below top connector I got confused because in book it shows 2 different speed sensors 1 with pos and Neg(same as power sensor) and resistor type but I got a single red wire with both ny kits (no resiator)which I'm told are standard ones huhhhhhh.But now they are sending me the grounded style pos and neg same as power sensor not sure why didn't get that to start with lol

Directly to the battery but it runs without any power you just won't have backlight and warning liggts

Without any power? Thats good, must be a strong internal battery. There is no battery on the wr but I understand the vapor unit can run on a battery less system. Not really sure where to take the power from.
 
Not really just a 3v cr2032 which is good a year because no backlight or shift lights etc it's low power usage.On my cr I'm just hooking it to a rc style battery behind the number plate for the shift lights don't need backlight as not used at night.So for your wr you can do same or if don't care about back/shift lights just don't use power sensor.Justin and Brian at trailtech are great for email support really impressed me so helpfull
 
Does anyone know how to do the job professionally? I.e. take the power on a battery less system? Should you piggyback in parallel from the lightning system? In series from the light system? I want to do the job properly but im bad at electrical stuff, dont want to be splicing into bits that wont like it.
 
Anyone figure out how to hook up the Vapor tach on a 450/511? I've not heard of anyone getting this figured out.....I'd sure appreciate anyone letting us in on the "secret handshake" to solve this problem.

I tapped into the Red Ignition-Coil lead (see picture) when installing the TT Vapor on my 2013 WR125. I hope this helps. Good Luck.image.jpg
