Why no adjustable speedo?

[firebolter]

Dear Husky,

You make a great bike. I love my 310TE, but how come you didn't add a simple little function like a second trip with adjustable incremental capability? I mean, the bike is pimped out and ready for Enduro except for that little lacking? Even for Dual SPorts, you need an adjustable trip.

So what do people do? I don't want to remove the stock unit. I guess I'll have to drill a second hole in the caliper carrier for a second sensor and add a Vector or something?

Oh well...........

you could run two just splice into the stock speedo wire and hook up a Vector... the problem area would be room at the bars behind the headlight.

I have been running a Vector this year- works great no problems. Does what we need for roll charts easily. I took off my stock one, but mine got damaged from riding in the rain for 4 days straight. NO big deal, its nice to have all the little extras the stock has but I never used the fuel indicator or really need the rpm gauge- biggest thing was not knowing if there was a fault code- but I haven't had a fault code... and that just says "hey its time to hook up to Ibeat" anyway....

I think TrailTech pays Husky not to so they can sell more product.

Yes, it was a bummer to find out about the lack of an adjustable trip meter.
There is also the ICO Dualsport Computer with remote button; but not cheap.

Years and years of marketting bikes in the U.S.A. and manufactorers don't get that A resetable odo is a useful feature for American offroaders???

Italians just do not get some of our American details, they think an enduro is like what we call a qualifier type event.

I was able to mount the ICO dualsport computer to the handlebar clamp bolts on the rider-side of the bars.

It has not been in the way, and I'm a stand-up type rider on the trails.

Yep, familiar with the ICO's, have run them before. I still have a Vector I took off my 525 when I went back to the stock KTM odo.

I hate to say it, but KTM gets this item right! I have a spare KTM stock odo too! But my Husky would probably refuse to start if I put that on it!

My Vector it is. Drill and tap a new hole and I'll be good to go!

Thanks for the ideas.

When I put the Vector on my 07 TE510 the stock sensor plugged right in. Had the same connectors.

I think the KTM computer will give you two trips, with one adjustable to zero and the other adjustable up and down.

I really liked my 04 exc speedo- huge display, remote switch, multi trips, hours, everything.

It definitely does have 2 trips and they are as you say, one zap to zero and one incremental by .1's. I like the stock KTM unit. I put one on my 200XC but I took it off when I sold it, so I do have an extra one. Small and very easy to use. The bar switch you can get makes it perfect.
