    What setting is right for a 2-stroke YZ125? The video doesn't tell us what the settings mean. 1P1R, 2P1R, 3P1R, 4P1R, 6P1R, 8P1R, 3P2R, 5P2R, 1P2R?
    Nothing is mentioned in the instruction manual. View stroke stroke blink, if I had to guess it I would pick 1P1R. Assuming it means 1 piston, 1 Revolution. Still don't like guessing

    Tusk has 2 different models. What is the difference between the two?

    • @rmatvmc
      @rmatvmc  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Tusk Multi-Function Tach/Hour Meter allows you to set the number of sparks per revolution where the regular Tusk Tach/Hour Meter does not. The Tusk Multi-Function Tach/Hour Meter will also track on 2 separate counters the number of hours since last reset, so say you use one to track time on an air filter you can know for sure how many hours you had on it. This could be used for tracking how long it's good for under various conditions. The service reminders are separate of the Job trackers and they will count down and then flash on the main screen.

    I have a 06 Honda CRF250r... I have a coil on cap. I didn't realize it and wrapped the wire 6 times around the wires that go to it but the tach on the meter I got is registering 2200-2400rpms at idle with choke off and warmed up. Seems to want to die if I lower it to 1700rpms or so. SO I'm guessing this is why? I should be wrapped3-4 times around he base of the cap to get the correct rpm readings?
    Thanks!~

    So you don’t have to tie the wire in anywhere, you just wrap it around?

      That is correct. You just wrap the wire around the spark plug boot or ignition coil wire, zip tie it, and you're good to go!

      Plastics different from the ones you have on your bike currently won’t fit without some modifications. You need to get a plastics kit specifically made for your bike then follow the instructions.
