Has anyone installed the Vapor on a SM630? I find the 2 second lag on the stock spedo/tach to be very annoying and looking for options.

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Im currently using the Vapor in my SMR - works pretty good, i have a few bugs to sort out as it indicates full screen error when revs go above 7500 rpm at the moment.
I think the trailtech computers are very good, the best bang for the buck and well supported. WAY better than the stock POS IMHO.
I don't know about the Vapor. But I changed my speedo to the Koso DB01R and really like it.
What brand / model bike is that. I usually am not stumped. Frame looks kinda GG but the tiny triple clamps and conventional forks, and the color are confusing. Chinese bike? BTW if you removed the cross bar on those 7/8th bars your going to bend then REAL EZ.

Shame on you!I recently put a DB01R on my TE450 and I really like it. The only caveat it that the Koso Hall effect wheel speed sensor was too big and vulnerable to be worth fitting so I rigged some electronics to make the speedo compatible with the Husky's reed sensor (otherwise contact bounce in the reed sensor gave wildly inaccurate speed readings). No big deal as I also threw together a circuit to decode the voltage from the gear position sensor so I could have a neutral light. The Trail Tech would have been more plug and play (and would be the best bet for most people IMO), but it was just too big for my setup.

I have ran the same Endurance on my last three dirt bikes with no issues so I trust the product. The only thing I don't want to do is hack the stock wiring to get a Vapor hooked up. How much adapting would it take to get the "generic" kit hooked up?

Anyone installed a Vapor on their TE 630 and got the tach to work correctly? I put one on my bike back in May, but after trying all the suggestions in the manual I couldn't get it to read correctly for longer than a half hour. Hooked up directly to the HT coil it works perfectly for a short while, then it fluctuates wildly. Spark wire wraps don't work at all. It's been on the bike since, but it's a PITA to keep removing the tank, adjust the wire, reinstall and test. Doubly so with a Scotts damper & HDB guards installed. I've emailed tech support at Trail Tech and await a reply, but thought I'd ask here too. It's a nice display, just want it functional.

It's nice to know the issues before throwing money at one. Did you call Trailtech? Maybe a defective unit? I've only called them once for tech support and they were really helpful.
I have the 08 sm 610, replaced the stock junk computor with the trailtech vapor and love it, unfortunately the tach only registers at approx half what it should. It is hooked up via wrapping around the spark plug boot. Has any one hooked one up to a 610 with good results?Well, after spending all day yesterday and a few hours today fiddling with it, I'm about ready to give up. It refuses to give a stable and correct tach reading.

I would guess that the PPR setting needs to be changed to .5?

Yep, what Mike said. Try all three PPR settings.
Just spent another couple hours messing with the wires. Tech support suggested disconnecting power from the bike battery. It didn't work. It looked good at idle and revving it in the garage, but as soon as it got on the street the rpms went back to being screwy. Even if it did work, I've lost the nice backlit display. ARRGH!

I'm really surprised they didn't send you a new one.

It didn't work. At all. Whether it was one inch or ten wraps on the plug wire, there was no rpm signal reaching the computer. Hooking it up directly to the coil had the same result. At this point I'm hoping they'll send me a replacement.
On the bright side I'm a little faster at wrenching now.

Quick question - what functions are you using and do you have the dashboard indicator lights?
