Simon, you seem determined to make hard work of this
The "other input" is the ratio of the speedo gears, in my case 0.78. This ratio is constant on Series 3 Lambrettas (I think) but possibly varies on Vespas (which the guts of these speedos are also used on).
phew....

Not hard work was trying to find out how you work this ratio figure out :anbrgin; look I don't touch my scoot so this is first time I have done any work myself blimy I'm only asking a question isn't this is wot a forums for to ask .

Sometimes its better to listen and not ask too many questions . Between this forum and the OTHER one virtually everything has been covered more than once . After reading thousands of posts most seem to go off stream or get personnal at around page 5 ! Let those who know better do the tech stuff. Speedo gear ratio seems to be 0.78 . Dont know why but there you go

You keep asking Simon, it's not a problem and keeps the forum lively

I wasn't having a go, honest I just thought we'd already covered that bit.

Stick with the speedo because it really is a good bit of kit.

As a matter of interest, what's your location? There might be someone in the area willing to help out on those odd little tricks and tips which are sometimes easier to show than tell

Cheers,

Nigel

Thanks and don't worry , ive added measurments and ratio 0.77 il see how it goes against my sat nav once the weather improves , I've got a new polished stand and splash plate to fit plus few custom bits by chasspeedfabs to keep me busy

Buckinghamshire

So seven pages on, some of you must have fitted it to a Tv/SX type headset. Have you noticed the same issue as described by Sticky in Scootering..?

Really want one, not only for the temp gauge but also for the second mph indicator as my Tv is European with km/h speedo

hi victor i have fitted my sip speedo in a sx type headset .
not had any issues. it is tight getting everything in but it does all go
mine is the new one with the low fuel warning indicator ,dot know if that makes any differance

Is there any way of telling whether you have the latest version (with low fuel indicator) from the packaging prior to fitting?
