SWEEEET,

I just ordered the RX-2 with all the funky colors online from

www.biohazardcycles.com

They were the cheapest at $ 329.00, Cant wait to slap it on ,Will post on YOUTUBE when done.The only thing I am not clear on is if the Fuel Gauge on my E-1 will work with this RX-2 Does anyone know the seeting on my stock fuel gauge?

Fuel Resitance setting for the RX-2 is
350

The funny part is that since I mounted my "Garmin" on my bike i don't even use the spedo. Since the Garmin is 100% accurate and has many other features. and it is a LOT cheaper than these gauges. Plus there are no funky sensors that have to be mounted on the front wheel.

Update: I have mounted the Koso RX-2 on my KZ1000ST and WOW what a difference.I made up some brackets for it and also mounted the Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor and drilled into the Oil Filter Cover to mount the Oil Temperature Sensor.It works great,The Gas Gauge also works great.It was pretty easy to do ,Just had to figure out which wire was what and it was a piece of Pie.Overall very happy with looks and performance of these Gauges.Will Post a video on Youtube soon.

In the video, the tach says your bike is idling at around 400rpm it looks. Whats up with that?

Can you set a max rpm/redline?
Can you calibrate/change tach ratio?

Ya it's fully adjustable and the rpm say 400 because of the new carbs ,They are not fully dialed in yet and manage to stay running a 400RPM.

Do you have to disconnect the oil sensor when you change the oil? Also, I notice that it has a fuel gauge...did your kz1000 come with one or did you have to create one for your bike?
