Just got my MJSTEF digital dash and tach for my TT250, I thought I'd give my feedback here.
First off, great product and kit. Decent instructions and was easy to install. Tach and speedo are well within 100 rpm and 1 mph of my OPAMA PET-2100 tach and GPS speedometer. Love the gear indicator, however with the stock gearing since you're in 5th by 35, you hardly use it. Good for when you are trying to find neutral.
NITS (and these are real nits)
INSTRUCTIONS:
step 2 is before step 1
step 3 is unnecessary (or should be reworded to drop headlight and fairing)
step 4 add disconnect tank drain and carbon canister hose
step 8 and 9 mention a boot near the battery. My bike had none.
KIT:
1) cluster is bolted to the bracket via 3 studs. The OEM cluster had step studs with a fat section. The new studs were narrower where they go through the rubber donuts. A sleeve would have filled the gap. Not a big issue however for a non-stressed item.
2) Wheel sensor had no locking tab to engage the tab on the fork to keep it from spinning. Friction will do the job, and since there are no gears in the sensor, it should have little tendency to want to spin the unit. Still if a wheel bearing seizes (could never happen to a chinese bearing, right), it will wrap the wire around the axle and mayhem will ensue.
3) Gas gauge is small in terms of screen real estate.
4) Tach has lines only every 500 RPM, and goes way higher than the TT's rev range. Could be much more precise. (go back to your high school physics to remember the difference between accuracy and precision).
