Default Installed!

Installation took an entire 10 minutes; 3 minutes of that was trying to get the rubber gasket to stay in place.
Pros (what functions I've used thus far):
Tach-now I can get rid of the ugly HD Mini Tach
Digital MPH
0-60 Timer
Engine Head Temp
Battery Voltage
MPG (intital set up is cumbersome)
Fuel Mileage (intital set up is cumbersome)

Cons:
NO CLOCK!
Air/Fuel Ratio is only functional if bike is equipped with ThunderMax EFI and ThunderMax AutoTune module

Would I recommend it? NO, at least not at the $450+ price tag!

Thanks for the honest review. Maybe I'll wait for the next model.

How did you get the gas gauge to work?
I installed mine this weekend and have read the instructions 10 times and i can not figure it out!!!

I love being able to see the head temperature. & A/F ratio! ( have the TMAX)

I do hate that it does not have a clock!

Actually, I didnt get it to work yet, I've tried about 8 different things and no luck. I'm going to call them today.

I spoke to the Tech Support people @ Zippers and they stated that in order for all of the fuel functions to work both fuel modes need to be calibrated (Fuel F & Fuel E). Basically run your tank almost dry or drain it and set the Fuel E to 0. Then fill up and set the Fuel F to the # of gallons it took.

I haven't done this yet; let me know how you make out.
