So thats 3 converters I need now? lol

As much as I love the look of it, I'm beginning to think its not worth chopping up 3 sets of wires, because I might want to change it back at some point.

Any idea about why the ABS light is staying on? :confused:

just been thinking about it and it needs to convert the signal by about 0.6 give or take.
you could just use a speedo kmh/mph convertor as all that does is convert the signal by 0.6 as well (ration between km and miles)

3 converters?

one for speed, one for revs, and what else?

One for the odometer? Or is that something they can change electronically?

no the odometer will be changed with the same as the speedo mate, as it takes it signal from the same wire

aah okay then, and one final thing. If i decided to just leave the revs as they were, is it going to screw up the motor making it move that fast?

no mate, its what its designed for, but a speedo converter on the rev signal should work.

Okay thats good to know, I was just considering leaving the revs as they were...I quite like seeing the needle go flying over to 10,000 rpm on a late change :wink:

well stav said the motors can cope fine, and unless you need your rpm dial to be accurate for race changes or something, I don't see any problem with it showing a bit higher than it should.
