@ tru72 the trail tech uses its own little watch battery, but needs to be hooked into switched power for backlighting.

the most accurate way it to
measure your own rear tire. too many differences between brands.
I always double check mine with a GPS.

I have a trail tech on my SR500. It is a great little unit. My SR doesn't use a battery with power for the back light being generated with the engine running. There is a backup battery in the TT to keep your wheel size and time.
On my Elite E I put a Sigma bicycle computer. It doesn't do anything except speed and mileage but was 20 dollars vs 80 for the TT.

I made the sensor work by making a little bracket for the magnet with a bicycle spoke and using epoxy to glue the magnet to the spoke. A hose clamp was used to hold the magnet assembly to the front wheel. If you have an old pair of eyeglass clips that are held on with magnets, the magnets used in them are very powerful and can be extracted from the old clip.

could someone tell me what to enter in the pulse settings in the ppr i put 1 but the other one i just left all zeros i have picutres below. but this is what i got on the gauge on a short run bike wasnt fully warmed up and rode it down and had a friend following me with his gf corolla also and was about the same in mph and my cluster. but if my cluster is right my rpms are kinda low and it did sound kinda flat and took awhile to hit the higher rpms cause of the heavy rollers.
heres the setting i know what to enter
this is the part where i got confused
first test with gauge
and heres a pix when were just relaxing from a bit of tunning

for tire i put 1276, gears are 8.44 and using the malossi mhr bore no porting done to the bore just boost and open up the intake a take bit. jetting is at 55 135 c clip middle with uni filter. rpms and speed wouldve rose a bit more if i had more road. but a traffic light is what stopped me.

how long was the hold to get to that speed? because 307deg is kind of low for a cht temp. you could be on the rich side which is making the motor loose some power. peak temp you want around 385deg.if its goes another 10deg higher sometimes , thats ok.

bike wasnt fully warmed up, when i changed the jets bike was cooled down then i hopped on my bike and held it on a straight away couple blocks away from home. if you watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB47PUFBXeE when the s and arnada kinda went at it that was my starting point but i let off a bit before the traffic light at the end. on a warmed up motor temps would go 340-350 wot.
