SIP Lambretta Digital Speedo

[sideout]

I see Sticky has done a review in the latest issue of Scootering (No313). The problem with the Rev Counter on Wassell DC systems is recognised, but unfortunately no solution as yet, apart from some strange reference to "...members of the 1980s hip-hop community are busy with the soldering irons...." which I have to admit was lost on me. lol

Flavor Flav told me to say it

I saw that coming... Good report matey, despite the dubious references
Nearly finished running in the new TT3? We need an update!

Just had mine fitted fitted by a mate(Wack63) and everything spot on! Fit, temp, revs, and speed. and thats with a standard cable at the moment. As good as your gonna get in my opinion!!!!

Is that in a GP or SX type headset if you don't mind me asking?

It is a GP headset. Quality fit.

Bugger, well that seems to be the state of play with the SIP speedo, fits a GP headset no problem - not so good with the SX headset (that I've got ).
Apparently SIP are addressing the issue, wonder how long we'll have to wait!

On a serious note - to get round the Wassel problem you could try (not tested - 100% guesswork):

put a 1:1 transformer in line on the yellow wire circuit feeding the Wassel. take the 2 outputs of the transformer and earth one end. Feed the other end to a 12V regulator and the output of that to the AC input of the SIP speedo.

Ideally the transformer would have the same thickness wire as the stator wires - any thinner and it may restrict output to the Wassel unit.

Do these work okay on a Varitronic, and would they fit a Winter model headset without the same SX issues?

In order: Yes, dunno.

Can someone help me please, lost instructions for the speedo, can some one post up an idiots guide on how to adjust the settings please. Everything is working on it but I need to calibrate it for mph, time, wheel size etc. Cheers.

I know it's a pain, but there's quite a lot of info on the previous 11 pages. You might find what you want on page 1

Managed to figure it out, it was the sequence of seeding it up that I was unsure about, got most the settings from here. Cheers.
