After my instrument cluster packed up I ordered a Trail Tech Striker. I might still be able to get the original cluster going again (although everything I've tried so far has had no result), but I decided to bite the bullet and get the Striker because I needed the adjustable trip distance functionality. I also like the idea of seeing the engine temp (its supplied with an an inline water temp sensor) and voltage on the dislpay. And in any event my old unit was filling up with dust, which you could see lying on the display beneath the screen, and the speed sensor cable keeps breaking, so a new one would be nice. I was reading the Striker manual (being a nerd) and saw that you can set up triggers for low voltage and high engine temp warnings. The unit has two warning LED's, one orange the other red. The orange is a "warning" condition the red is a "danger - do something about it now!" condition. You can set thresholds for each of the lights for both voltage and engine temp for each LED. I was wondering what values to use? Eg Engine Temp Warning (orange LED) - 120 C? Engine Temp Danger (red LED) - 150 C? Low Voltage Warning (orange LED) - 10.5V? Low Voltage Danger (red LED) - 9V? Any suggestions would be welcome.
What kind of battery are you running? Exactly what bike is this on? Is it the stock electrical system?
09 610 Standard electrics etc. I'm told on the Wilddog forum that a bike radiator will boil at about 107 C. So the suggestion was to set the red LED to about 102-105 C. I'll set the orange LED to about the temp that fan turns on, maybe a degree or so higher. But any other thoughts welcome.
