Best,

J.
The speedo works from a speed sensor that picks up a signal when it passes a magnet mounted on your wheel rim or hub,you have to measure the circumfrance of you wheel in mm and put this in you speedo this gives your speed,i made a small bracket mounted to the top bolt on my caliper bracket and attached my speed sensor to this and moved it until the signal was being picked up,the sensor cable can be routed down the inside of the steering column,you also get a rev counter in which you are able to enter rev limits and change lights light up,the temp gauge sensor that comes with the speed fits around the spark plug (i dont use this) you also have sevice warning lights these come on when a pre-set mileage appears i used this to warn me after 70 miles for fuel, it also tells you time run time fasted speed highest revs used, if you want a compact speedo/rev counter get one,i hope this helps

Hi Rob, thanks for the explanation. So in other words is just a digital speedo with more gadgets. :?: My question really was aimed towards its name, why vapour?

Best,

Jaime
