Revs higher than 9000rpm and fuel sending question - motorbike related
Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2018 2:49 pm
Hello Everyone,
I've just bought a Dash2, and compared to the god awful translogic unit that I had before I'm very happy with what I saw when I opened the box.
I have some questions regarding the install on a motorcycle.
Question 1
I saw in the software that the rev range is recommended not to go above 9000rpm is this correct? I top out at 13k and Ideally need it to see 11.5 at the least, which is where the power starts to drop off.
Question 2
My fuel sender is an analogue two wire, which just switches a warning light on for me.
How do I replicate this with the dash 2 inso far that when the light would have come on, I merely get the low fuel warning instead?
The reason I'm asking is because I don't believe the sender is capable of sending different voltages to the dash to take advantage of the staged fuel warning.
question 3
Speedometer - Since Dash 2 does not allow me to input tyre sizes commonly found on motorcycles, - I've found a near perfect match through working out car tyre sizes and comparing on various calculators - do you guys prefer or recommend using the rolling radius of the wheel rather than the tyre size?
If rolling radius, my feeling is that the wheel should be on the bike so taking it's weight rather than doing it off the vehicle.
Many thanks in advance for all your help.
