From the factory we all have the same setting, same tires. Over time everyone's tire wears differently, therefore will make the stock speedo slightly off. (probably a little off from the factory too) But will not cause large differences from bike to bike based on tire wear. I think it would b beneficial to post the settings we come up with individually. They could not possibly too far off from each other and will give other members a good starting point. As far as the fuel gauge, it seems to work just fine. |

Hey guys, this is Evan from RaceTech Electric (we're going to use the same account on here). I'm our Engineer and tech guy. I've finished the install and all of the filming on our test bike. I'm going to edit the video tomorrow hopefully, I should have it posted on YouTube by Monday at the latest.
Here's the settings I used: For a 110/70R17 tire, use 722 P2 for the circumference settings. 1840 or so is the actual circumference, but that produces insanely high speeds. 722P2 is reasonable, but will need to be adjusted. Water Temp Warning: 230F Oil Temp Warning: 240F Fuel Sender Resistance: 100 Ohms Tach: 13,000 RPM Redline Warning Ignition: 4C, 2P (4cycle/stroke, 2pistons) Video coming soon!

I noticed with the 100 ohm fuel setting it would not register a full tank. I have it on the 530 (or whatever the other one is) for now but I have yet to use up a full tank to give testament to the accuracy.

Excited and disappointed at the same time...
I received my package today from Race Electric I was so excited and got my plan for weekend to install it on my bike. But when I opened the box the adapter board is missing .. There goes my plan.
Hopefully Jordan can resolve this asap. I can't wait to install the gauge on my bike. All I can do now is wait..again.. **just an update: Got the adapter board and installed on the bike.. I'll take some picture.. working on the settings now... Jordan thanks for all the time you spent to organize this GB. Last futzed with by ninjagaiden09; July 16th, 2012 at 02:00 PM. |

I didn't order one initially but tried to after the fact. He thought that they were going to get a couple extra but ultimately found that the order didn't have any extra. It may be that it didn't have enough and yours is coming after they get them from Koso.

Hi guys,
This is Evan from RaceTech Electric again. I'm out of the office today, but I spoke to Jordan and he confirmed he handled the issue with the missing backboard. So....who's ready for an install video!? Here ya go! Filmed last week on our test bike. It's about 20min long, and pretty detailed. But if you're wondering how to install an RX-2 PnP kit on your Ninja 250, here ya go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8PS6U-bRj4 Let me know what you think, and any questions? Evan

Oh! Which of these should I order?
M12XP1.5X15L / M14XP1.25X15L / M14XP1.5X15L / M16XP1.5X15L / M18XP1.5X15L / M20XP1.0X15L / M20XP1.5X15L http://www.koso.com.tw/products-deta...=518&lang=en#1 I'm not using the PnP kit because I'm installing it on a pregen. IIRC, the oil drain bolt is the same but I don't know the size and thread pitch. |

FVCK FVCK FVCKITY FVVVVCK!!!!!!!
Sorry had to get that off my chest...effin' mad that I have to be the first to mess up the install! Ok, I was tightening my oil temp sensor to the bolt (with threadlocker applied) when this happened!!! The only silver lining in my dark and gloomy ass rainbow is now I have a synced koso...small ass consolation if you ask me So, what do you guys think? Should I use the cracked sensor (it's still pretty solid) until I get this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/KOSO-OIL-TEM...5f740a&vxp=mtr) or should I be cautious, stop installation and wait for the replacement. |

If you're going to order the Koso part, at least gove that business to Jordan and Evan from RaceTechElectric. Otherwise, it seems to be a standard 1/8" MPT/NPT temp sensor/sender: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=...md=1&_ftrt=901 http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=...md=1&_ftrt=901 |

@EthioKnight I did the same exact thing minus the thread locker, the head on my sensor snapped off but don't worry! It still works! You can still install it to your oil drain hole and you'll be fine. I have no leaks at all, just replace it sometime later when you have the will/time/money

@Scattcatt, @CZroe Thanks for the speedy replies guys, much appreciated
I placed the order as soon as I figured out the size of the bolt, didn't even think of the guys over at racetech, kinda feel bad now (won't do that again, we should support our own I know). But, yeah, I'll install it as it is (with some j-b weld) till I get the replacement. Thanks again guys |

so... i have a noob question.... i just recently did an oil change with royal purple, and as many of you know.. it is not cheap! i was wondering if it would be ok to re use the oil after draining for the temp plug, to save 50$ for new oil, or should i just wait til im due for another oil change?

Hey guys!
I appreciate the desire to support us, but small parts are not something we keep in stock at the moment so ordering them elsewhere is no big deal. But feel free to check with us first if you'd like, we will eventually be stocking a lot of Koso stuff (hopefully) Jordan

Any one having trouble getting the speedo dialed in? I'm using the stock speed sensor with adapter for the time being (I'll be installing a new rotor on wednesday, the one I have on is a bit warped, so not using the magnets till then). I mounted a gps and tried playing with the settings, and the closest I was able to get the gauge to display true speed was to set it to the lowest number for circumference (300 p2) and I still get mad fluctuations. (True speed 50mph...indicated jumpes from 53 to 60 to 73 back to the 50s and so on). Tried recommended 722, true curcumference (1822), both show even more exaggerated speed readings (maxed out the speedo, doing just 50s). Any thoughts?
