I've got a v2.0 one in my Primmy and it's good. I wanted a Rev counter and my speedo drive didn't work so got one with the speed sensor cable and it works well. Pulling all the wiring through the frame and into the headset is a bit of a game (I included the petrol sensor wire for a future option), and I had to make a mounting bracket that holds the black box along with the regulator and cdi. The temp sensor is handy, don't know how accurate they are but it will at least give you a reference temperature that would highlight a problem if it should go outside of what you've observed as normal.
Note you'll need a resistor type spark plug otherwise they don't work.

Resistor type spark plug?

I used resistor type spark plug CAP (but with other rev counter).

Resistor type spark plug? I know it sounds obvious but the NGK ones have an R in the suffix. |

I tried a resistor cap and it didn't work for me, I had to use a resistor plug.

never heard of such a thing, this forum is such a great font of knowledge and info  I will most likely need one of these when I get round to ding my project as I have a SIP digi speedo thingy so good gen |

Im going to be using my current speedo cable as i havent really had any trouble with it. Have you got any pics? |

If you're using the usual speedo cable and don't fit the petrol sensor cable I think then you're only talking about 2 cables if I remember correctly, one being the control box extension (as you've never fit that in a primmy headset) and the other is the head temp sensor. Connecting it all up is no problem, it's the usual threading cables through the frame and up in to the headset which is a arse-ache. I did take a couple of pictures, one of the headset and one of the mounted electrics, but it doesn't really show you much as the control box is on the underside of the plate I made secured with white tie-wraps, just visible. Also, I found I needed to dremmel a recess out of the plug hole on the cowling for the sensor to sit nicer otherwise it makes fitting the plug difficult, you can just see the temp sensor cable at the bottom right corner of the 2nd picture, exiting the frame with the HT lead. I can take a picture of that if it helps. Here's the pictures:   |

im in the middle of installing the speedo. All the wiring has been pulled through the frame, that was easier than I thought. Im now ready to splice in to the wiring but the instructions from SIP aren't the best. I have a query........what I can make out from the instructions it says that I need to solder the positive and the RPM wire to the main power supply going in to the back of the light switch...does this sound correct?

Yes, that's right. If you have a battery you'd connect the red wire up to that and the brown one to the power feed from the stator (yellow/white or grey if I remember correctly). If you don't have a batter just connect both red & brown to the live feed from your stator.
