Has anyone here installed a trail tech vapor on their F2? I just ordered one, and hoping you guys could offer some advice. I got the SV650 kit per the techs recommendation.... -Fred

i wrapped the spark plug wire around cylinder 2 wire and grounded it off my main harness...it's a little jumpy so i'd try a frame ground if i were you

Engine Temp sensor just bite the bullet and cut your radiator hose...i tried taking out my stock one to thread it in and it snapped off on the first turn...also put it in the upper hose so it gets the temp going into the radiator and not after it's been cooled...

to get the led backlight i just found a constant wire on my main harness and plugged it in there with a custom wire connector

and for speed sensor get you some double sided tape and some zip ties....i recomend you go to home depot and we have this tape over in the paint dept that is similar to double sided tape but it's flexible like putty and will allow you to stick it in place and adjust if you aren't getting a correct reading....also use the brake rotor bolt it works perfect

i will take pictures of everything tomorrow so you can see my set up....and if you'll tell me how to post pictures i will show you what i did to mount....

Cool! Thanks. I just need to figure out how to mount it (I run the full fairing). I'm thinking of getting the dash too.. you know, the thing that goes around the unit and has neutral, and high beam indicators. Looks like yours is mounted to the triple clamp.... I'd like to mount mine to the fairing stays. We'll see how it goes. -Fred

i was considering the dash but i can just look over my bars and see if the turn signals are on....the vapor has an engine temp sensor so no need for that one and i only run high beam so no need for that one so i am just gonna stick with the ecu itself....

if you have any questions post em up and i will give ya first hand advice....

I guess I don't need the dash. How did you mount it?

i have this obsession with 1/4" aluminum flat stock....its how my exhaust, horn, windscreen and trail tech are mounted.....i just drilled 2 holes in each piece cut each piece about 3" long and then mounted it to the ignition box screws underneath the triple

once you remove your stock guages the trail tech dash may help fill some of the void also though

Yeah, I need to take the cluster off and see what's back there. I'm pretty sure I'll have to come up with some sort of way to mount it. I thought of getting some carbon sheet, and having it cut to the same shape as the cluster..... That way it'll cover the void, and be at the same angle as stock. Aluminum would work too.... where do you get your aluminum stock?

Do you remember what your wheel diameter was for the speedometer? I'm gonna need a math genius to help me soon... I think I'm going with a -1/+2 sprocket which will throw off the MPH reading. To fix it, I'll have to adjust the wheel diameter again... but to what lol? I'm sure somebody here can figure it out.

wheel diameter i will check...it's in my guage memory...also your sprocket won't throw off your speed at all...your sprocket only changes your torque curve...my bike has a 5 up in the rear and is all power from 0-80 then it tapers off and i can't go over 125.....and i work at home depot so all my aluminum stock comes from the hardware dept...i like the aluminum stock cause you can bend it in a vice and use a file to smooth edges....if you like a bracket you made you can always have it machined out of bilet later....

I need to find someone around here to make one... shouldn't be hard, I'm in Orlando. I'll probably just mount it like you said, then make something later. I wonder if -1/+2 is similar to +5? I guess it's kinda like a +4 in the end. I'd like to be able to do at least 130 mph. Does your front-end come up pretty easy with the +5?

in 1st it lifts very easy....incline or trying it will lift in 2 and really trying will lift in 3rd.... if you do +5 in rear and -1 in the front you will be all bottom end up to about 110 maybe better since you're full fairing...i am wanting a -1 since i don't need to go over 100 and i want to be able to pass cars in 5th gear by just rollin back on the throttle

I go to sarasota sometimes.... it's like 70 mi. from here... all interstate. So, I'd like to blast (relatively) fast over there. I know 130 isn't fast but there's always a compromise Right lol
