Tao Tao bull200

[PANDEMIC]

nice to see the new one comes with a spot to mount a trailer ball or pin hitch

Just an update...i did just get my Bull 200 from Upzy.com today...a bit longer than I hoped it would take but it finally arrived. The trucking company they used was awesome as well. I just had to pester them to keep the process going. I did find out my delay was mostly caused by not having the red color I ordered because they didn't get resin stock...only green and gray. I got green.

a very slow leak that ended up being glue of
some sort in one spot on the outside bead of tire/wheel.
i let the air out, knocked off the glue and it now holds air.
this is my first atv, so i really don't have much to compare to.
i like it. not one blemish!

That is awesome!! Enjoy the new ATV.

That is cool Fumblecopter. I was beginning to worry that maybe you just threw in the towel. Glad you hung in there and got your new ride.

The hitch plate is a nice bonus for sure.

I pulled the display again, I do not see anything on the front of the board that looks like it would change the display. Your board and mind are slightly different, and one of the wires are a different color. I think the display powers up, shows all the options it can display. I think they must have a KPH board, and a MPH board. You could try the dealer to see if you could get a replacement display, or trying TaoTao. I'm also curios to the accuracy of the gauge. I feel it may be displaying a speed faster than what's being ran. We'll see.

Did you take a picture of the front of the board? It helps me to see it.... I work with wiring and electronics all day at work. Might be able to help you guys.

I was going to, but it was just the screen. There was no other components. If you feel there might be something I'll post it. I did notice the the boards are physically different when looking close.

[Douglass]

imapdog & Fumblecopter, did you get a paper title with your bike?

[Douglass]

I just checked again, and I do not see anywhere that the chain can be adjusted.

[Fumblecopter]

No paper title...but I can get one from upzy.

It would help to see it. The difference is the revision change... the layout for the most part is the same... most likely some kinks worked out. Or they just figured out a way to make the board cheaper.



I really can't believe that they make two different boards just for the sake of displaying MPH or KPH .... it raises the production costs... over a small block of code that X amount of times = MPH and a second line that contains X amount of times = KPH


There is a way to select MPH or KPH .... it's method just isn't clear. Most would just use the paperclip through the tiny pinhole method to hit a button on the board.


Wondering now if they are using a button combination like: Hold the High beam button in on startup. If there are no buttons on the board, no jumpers to cross then they may be using the external buttons and switches of the ATV to change settings.



Its common on aftermarket speedometers to have to set the distance/diameter of the wheel. How many revolutions equals X amount of feet. That feeds into MPH/KPH math that is displayed.


It would have to be some sort of combination on the Bull that you are not likely to do under normal use to trigger the change.

Where is the signal for the speedometer coming from?

[ckangaroo70]

As far as the speedometer goes... Douglas is right that there is nothing at all on the flip side of the circuit board except for the display.
I thought the same thing about possible program change being some sort of combination of using a switch on the handlebars. This may indeed be the case but I couldn't get anything to happen after trying different combinations of things.
I believe the speedo must work off a magnet with a pick-up on the rear sprocket. Can't see it real good without removing the guard.

[Darth Racer]

That is right.. magnet passing by a magnetic proximity sensor on the sprocket.


If nothing on the front then its most likely a certain combination of handle bar button presses.... or just holding one in on startup. Possibly just hitting one button a certain number of times quick.
