hey man i dont know if you ever figured out the RPM setting.. but your bike is running fine. There is a setting on the runleader for how many sparks per revolution. yours is displaying double the RPM because the setting isnt correct. For example at one point you revved and it hit 5600 RPM. that is almost redline and i have to say, it didn't sound nearly redlined too.
@@rideordie6886 Actually I haven't found one to buy yet (Navi). I think I want to buy two of them for my wife and I to take on camping trips. Both of us already have motorcycle licenses, just haven't had a bike for a while now. Thanks for the content!
This is the: Runleader RL-HM035A Digial Hours/RPM/TEMP Meter Gauge, Maintenace service interval,RPM & Over-temperature alert, LCD display shutdown, Battery replaceable, Waterproof design. This model has been out since June of last year but Runleader still doesn't have it on their website, nor do they have a downloadable User Guide. The Amazon listing claims that the memory is nonvolitile (you don't lose your records if the battery dies). Also claims it is IP67 water resist.
I just installed this on my 98 kx250 i 3d printed a mount for it with green filament and it mounts to the tank bolt centered perfectly im not sure i want to put the temp washer wire under my spark plug think the height difference with the washer might mess something up thinking about putting it to the engine stay mount since i think you can calibrate it anyway have you heard anything about it messing up the head because of the washer what would you do 😮
Hello @RideorDie I really appreciate the video. Did you ever "correctly" install the spark plug ring in the instructed location..? I see you placed the ring on the head bolt. I have the runleader also, same one, but my engine head isnt like yours. I used the plug hole as specified in the instructions, & noticed the spark plug kept spinning and wouldnt tighten down all the way, almost stripping thread like. I used the spark plug with & w/o the washer, same results. We all need that most accurate reading, any ideas on best possible way to "make it fit" as instructed..? Also, I installed my temp sensor on the plug boot, closest to the plug, next to the yellow rpm sensor wire. 🍻
Hi Jesse! Thank you for the compliment. I’m glade you like the video and hope you subscribe. Yes I haven’t been out on the Navi yet but I’m having fun with mods and it’s a pretty cool looking scooter… I hope you get your soon so you can mod yours. Keep watch more videos to come.
An electrical connection is just that; an electrical connection. There really shouldn’t be any issues increasing the length of the wire but obviously the longer the wire, the more resistance is added to said electric connection. Just make sure you protect the splice with shrink wrap, electric tape or crimp connectors (ideally all three) and that the splice itself is secure (soldering would be ideal but crimp connectors will work). It is also important to use proper wire 16AWG is what I would recommend for an application like this.
prior to installing the jets on the Navi, it was rich to began with, I have not put a mile on it so I have no idea on how the throttle feels but its definitely is running rich at idle and when revving there is some popping at the exhaust. I didn't think much of it tell stated to get further into the mods. But you are right Jeff I will be doing a video on extracting/drilling the air fuel mixture screw I don't think its the jet but I will have to wait tell I mess with the air/fuel...
Good question I thought the same thing but I don’t know, I have one bar left before my battery is out, so do you want to be the first one to test it out 😂 I really like the Runleader tho it’s a nice upgrade to the Navi for sure.
@@rideordie6886 from what I could tell it didn't save the time, I set the max RPM to 5200 and the time at 1:00 then took battery out. Then put it back in the time went back to 12:00 the max RPM was still 5200. I didn't mess with anything else to see if it would reset.
@@migratorygame7400 that’s good to know, time set is easy enough and everything else stays. This is the cheapest most valued thing I’ve add to a bike, great upgrade for the Navi for sure. Thank you for the info Migratory Game!
Holding the M & S buttons at the same time for 3 seconds will shut it down for you..pain in the butt sometimes when you forget, but oh well. Night time riding really drains the battery if you leave the led on. Onstantly. So far, my original battery is still holding up tho.
I just installed my Runleader, same model you have. I’m bone stock right now and trying to get a baseline before I do intake/carb/exhaust work. I’m getting a warm idle reading of 5500-6000 rpm. It sounds normal. The back wheel does not spin while idling. Is there a RunLeader setting wrong?
Honda specs is supposed to be 1700 rpm with out choke on, if you haven’t removed your Welch plug and adjusted your air/fuel mixture screw chances that is off and will need to be adjusted. Also if you suspect that it’s not reading right try running the wire not on the boot but below the boot if that makes sense…
@@rideordie6886 I figured it out. I was running the RunLeader on 1P2R. It needs to be on 1P1R. Now I’m idling around 2000 rpm. A little rich, but I feel it’s reporting correctly now.
@@rideordie6886 I appreciate the video! Was very helpful getting mine installed. I did have a question about the settings though - did you change the RPM Range setting at all? The default R1 range is 0-25,000rpm, but seems like it should be set to R3 (0-12,000). Did you change it at all?
@@AndrewZavala thank you Andrew. I did not change anything besides the time, I noticed that it auto corrects it self, when I hit and I think around 8500 rpm it flashes at me but I main got it for rpm and temp reader. I havnt had a problem with it. If you are getting in accrete readings on rpm it’s ok to put the wire around the plug wire and not the boot. Hope that help your question if not try and explain more
@@rideordie6886 Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I am going to try and put the signal wire along the plug wire this week and see if that resolves my issues.
