Vector Trail Tech Computer
12/09/12 at 23:36:03
 
I have just brought a Vecter to replace my stock speedo. I am entering data but there are 3 things im not sure about. The computer is asking for a high temp and a danger temp.So can anyone tell me either in F or C What would our motor concider being high and dangerous? And it wants to know how often a oil change should be done. Either MPH or KMS. Might sound strange but this thing has a censor that connects to the spark plug that records the bikes temp.

Oil and filter every 6000 kms From the handbook. Spark plug relacement at 12000km. Stock air cleaner, which you haven't got should be cleaned every 3000km.

I did a search in RSD of "head temperature" and "head temp" and didn't turn up any numbers for you.

I could point you towards some running temps I did with an I/R meter.

But most likely your meter readings will be relative to the sensor locations.

And you should be looking for temps out of the ordinary rather than absolutes.

I would suspect that your head temp will be less than 450°F and oil temp less than 200°F on the average.

Max oil temp will be the temperature the oil is rated for.

Thanks for your help. I realize that its prob more of a gimmick, but would be fun to enter some data. 450 would be a good starting point and maybe 500 for danger temp. I can re program the figures if needed.
Has a Savage engine ever over heated before?
It has a few fun features like riding time, lap times,stop watch, clock,records current, average and maximum speeds when going on road trips. Which could come in handy if you need to prove your speed to a cop. Smiley
A few other features too.

run it for a half hour in 100° heat at 70 and you'll know what "hot" is.

then come to a stop and let her idle for a minute and you'll know what "really hot" is.  A bikini wax job couldn't do better at removing the hairs on your legs.   Shocked

yes good idea. I will connect it without the data, It will still register the temp and I can set the limits from there. Will let you know the temp if anyone is interested.

Yup, and when you get done seeing how hot your hot can get up to, you'll understand why some of us wisely prefer to use the "relatively heat proof" synthetic oils like Rotella T-6.

Water cooled vehicles have a heat ceiling, air cooled vehicles do not.  

And we CAN do stupid things like a prolonged idling right after a high speed section of interstate, or similar stupid things, like go up to the mountains with the boys for a week to play around a bit on them curvy hilly bits.

Paul, you could ring or email Suzuki's national centre in Wanganui and see if they are of any use.

I just poked around a bit on the internet, and the only thing about cylinder head temps I found was on Harley Forums.  The Harley heads run about 305 on the front cylinder and about 330 on the rear cylinder in 90 degree outside temperatures (all in Fahrenhiet).  I would suggest you ride yours and come up with a "normal" temperature for your bike, then set the alarms based on that.

Did you buy the Universal kit for an air cooled bike with front disc brake - or did they have a specific kit for the LS650/S40?

I brought the universal air cooled one.

I put a lot of thought as to where to mount it. I decided to mount it on the left. Two reasons 1 so I can keep my hands close to hand grip and 2, cosmeticly it compliments the oil reservior on the right side.

Front angle. From this angle you can see what I mean when I say iy compliments the oil reservior. gives it ballance.

Yes I agree which is why I prefer to run a motorcycle oil suitable for diesel motors and not the other way round. Wink
