Best Group Buy EVER for Koso RX-2/RX-2N Complete Ninja Kits!

[Red250R]

Yay excited. Tracking number was sent to me yesterday. Can't wait. It'll work out almost perfectly since it comes thursday and my bike is currently apart since i'm installing the EFI kit.

[NevadaWolf]

I've been staring at that tracking number saying "San Diego" all day. Come on come on come on!

[Red250R]

i have to wait till thursday for mine to come in unfortunately lol thats almost 2 whole days!

[nguyener]

Dang. Thats almost double for what I paid for mine. I mean I did get it second hand but it looks brand new still. I paid 180...

[NevadaWolf]

I got stuff!

[Red250R]

@NevadaWolf Ha, beat you to it lol



Didn't get the chance to change the colors yet and such. In my defense, i already had the bike torn apart lol easy(er) to install when everythings already apart.

[Red250R]

@RaceTech Electric I do have one suggestion/constructive criticism. The piece that holds the water temperature sensor. Why not make it a 45 degree angle piece instead of a straight piece. It'll be a lot easier to install because it will be bent the same direction the hose already wants to go because of the radiator. It'll require you to cut a little bit more out of the hose but fitment will be a lot better and it'll be more streamlined.

[SSG54]

yay! i got stuff too! now i just need a day off to play with it

[NevadaWolf]

Yeah. Mine will be going in on Saturday. "Fan Mode" initiated!!

[dandj86]

Mines on it's way, can't wait for it to arrive!!!

[merc]

Got mine today! Already installed!!! Very special thanks to the guys over at Race Tech!!

[NevadaWolf]

Fan Mode Initiated!!



World's Fastest Neutral Ninja!



Apparently the Koso gauge has a top limit of 223 MPH as it starts blinking.

[Red250R]

so i thought i adjusted the speedo right at 722 2P lol then i realized it needed to be 714 6P. It still seems off tho. Seems like i'm going faster than the speedo reads. I don't have a gps to go off of tho so i'm hoping someone else can help me out here. I have a BT45 in the front. Same size as stock tire but i do know that the BT45's are a tad thicker than the stock tires. So that would mean the circumference would be higher making the speed read slower than it really is. Correct or am i wrong in my logic?

If you have a phone then you have a gps

[Red250R]

not one that reads speed tho? or do i need to actually download a real gps app? because everytime i need directions i just use the maps app on my iphone.

[NevadaWolf]

Pop into the app store and find a HUD or speedometer app. Google/Apple maps won't show it but the data is there.

It's not as 100 percent accurate as a regular GPS but it will be close enough.

[Red250R]

ahhhhhhh alright thanks

[JanqeD]

Lol, I instantly regret my decision not buying in on this lol. Guess i'll start setting money aside till the next group by happens. Next time I'll have a stable shipping address I hope :P Then I also justify it by saying well my wife will probably never upgrade from a 250 so when I do she can have the cluster :P

[NevadaWolf]

Welp, set my tire to 722 2P. Rode for a half mile in a 40 zone going 120MPH! Wheeee

Changed it to 714 6P and the speedo is within rounding distance of my DeLorme GPS speed (i.e. GPS reads 49.6, speedo reads 50). I have Pirelli Rosso II 110/70 on the front with <300 miles on them.

yeah thats how i set mine at first lol don't know where i read that one.

[NevadaWolf]

Its the settings at the end of Evan's video. The 6p one is from Koso.

[NevadaWolf]

Is anyone else's 100 ohm fuel setting giving you goofy displays? I was riding home and the 30% warning started flashing. Not knowing exactly how accurate it was, I filled up. Only put in 2.5 gallons, so reset the trip and headed off. Not a quarter mile later the display was down to half a tank.

Going to try out the 510 setting to see what it does, but it this just basically a case of ignore the display in favor of the odometer?

No no no 510 won't work

Just leave it and get used to it. There's a learning curve and a level of trust you have to develop with it. It will almost never read 100%, I normally get 80% after fill up. And I always take it down to the last bar, then when I no longer get the last bar to relight on a flat strait I no I have 30 miles left in my tank since the last time I saw the 10% bar.

95% of the time I fill up my gauge shows no bars. I will admit it took me a couple weeks and a 1000 mile trip to LA and back to trust it. I will say that it can jump around a bit with hard braking and riding so keep it steady for a quarter mile on flat ground to get your correct reading. It will sometime read low in cold weather for some reason and although rare it will normally clear up if you turn the bike off then on again.

I've got nearly 2 years and 28,000 miles on my Koso and I love my fuel gauge. And just about every other feature it has as well

[NevadaWolf]

Thanks @rojoracing53, that's what I was looking for. I'll change it back to 100.

I plan on making up for the low riding this last month, so will definitely pay attention to bars verses mileage to get a proper feel for what is being displayed and what is in the tank. I have no reason to believe my unit is faulty or anything so I'll run the tank down driving around town and see where I am when it reads empty.

Thanks!!

(hey, just curious, any way to dim the light level from the display?)

Not that I'm aware of but if you go with blue its dark enough to not bother me. I've honestly used every color except purple because it threatens my manhood

If you wheel is calibrated correctly then use both milage and gauge. If my gauge reads a bit funny but I've only gone 190 miles with normal riding ill push it father and sometime the last bar with light up one last time at a stop light. I almost always put in about 4.1-4.3gals of fuel in my bike.

[NevadaWolf]

I picked the green to start with and was looking at the red for night riding, but that red is bright! Not sure how much it'd save my night vision so I stuck with green last night. I'll run through them all and find the best one.

Yeah, that is a rather pastel purple, isn't it?

I think I have my wheel set right, I used Koso's recommendation in the PnP kit and it is close enough to my GPS for my liking. I've been keeping track of my mileage since I got the bike last year so I know my range with normal riding. Now to compare it to what the gauge is telling me. Glad you mentioned your fill-ups show 80% as that was what I got last night and was the first sign something was different.

[iplante]

Those look so sweet. I'm jealous.

[Red250R]

used a spedo app on my phone today. settings were damn near accurate. Only two settings i have to change tho. The redline rpm's and i wanna change the warning for the gas tank to 10%. I have it set at 30% right now

10%

[NevadaWolf]

Yeah, 30% seems to mean a half tank (least that's what I've been getting). What do you have your redline at? I went with the 13K which matched the stock graphic.

[rojoracing53]

Probably 13k but I never look at it so its hard to say. I've always seen shift lights and retarded gimmicks anyways.

I didn't change the setting that it come from stock so right now the "shift light" is turning red around 7500 lol

[NevadaWolf]

Oh it's a shift light? Thought it was a redline warning. Oops. My chin bar on the helmet blocks it so I never seen it anyway.

[Red250R]

I don't know lol because it turns yellow when its close to redline but the number its set for is when the light turns red. So i guess you could set it for either way that you like depending on how you ride. Can't really see it all that well in the sun anyways.

[NevadaWolf]

Ah! Cool, learned something new.

[dandj86]

Yay!!! My shipment arrived yesterday afternoon, all going well it'll go in this weekend!

[SSG54]

hmm i got a little trouble shooting, my turn signal indicator works when i am turing right, but not when im turning left, yet my signals work.

also anyone figure out the time clock how to make it am and pm?

[NevadaWolf]

The clock is only 24hr to my knowledge. 1300=1pm, 1800=6pm, 23:59=11:59pm

Not idea on the signals though. :-/

[Red250R]

Yeah the clock is only 24 hour/military time based. No 12 hour function which pisses me off. I'll figure out a way to possibly mount another clock somewhere because that's how much I hate 24 hour clocks

lol

it does not bother me too much, i just don't like to think so much
