how old is yours ? have you had any issues with it since you fitted it im thinking about putting scooter into garage and getting them to either fit it or just resell and buy a nice fitted rev counter

mines only a few month old, and got 1 for px too, no probs at all, i read alot on here 1st so had a good idea and then confronted sip instructions. i even went to the lengths of using speed sensor and magnet, apart from the blue flash it good lol

A mate fitted mine but it was quite straight forward. Not got the temp set up yet but it's a superb piece of kit...

I think you'll find the people on this forum have overcome any hassles. At least have a go at fitting it, you might be pleasantly surprised.
I've fitted 3 with my half a brain, so that's only a 1/6th of a brain required for one speedo

I think you'll love it!
As people have said, most of the problems have been solved, like needing to fit a resistor type spark plug.
You also have a GP, so none of the frustration us SX headset types have with speedo drive fouling the forks.
I can also recomend the electronic sensor for the speedo drive if you want to get rid of your speedo cable, works very well.
