Description
Fitting:
This dual-point digital meter offers a more universal style, but achieving a seamless fit on specific motorcycle models like the Yamaha YBR series and Suzuki GS 150 will require careful consideration and potential modifications. Direct plug-and-play compatibility is not guaranteed.
For fitting to Yamaha YBR and Suzuki GS 150:
- Mounting: The meter features two circular gauges with mounting brackets. Assess if these brackets align with the existing mounting points on your Yamaha YBR or Suzuki GS 150. Custom brackets or adjustments to your bike’s headlight assembly or fairing might be necessary to securely position the new gauges.
- Wiring: Matching the wiring harnesses is critical. You will need the wiring diagrams for both the digital meter and your specific Yamaha YBR or Suzuki GS 150 model. Carefully identify the functions of each wire (power, ground, speed sensor input, RPM signal, gear position, fuel level, indicator lights) and determine how they can be correctly connected.
- Sensor Compatibility: Verify that the digital meter is compatible with the type of speed sensor (typically cable-driven on older models or electronic on newer ones) and any other relevant sensors on your Yamaha YBR or Suzuki GS 150. Incompatible sensors will result in inaccurate readings.
Universal Fitting Considerations:
Due to its universal nature, installing this meter on any motorcycle will likely involve some degree of adaptation:
- Custom Mounting Solutions: Be prepared to fabricate or adapt mounting brackets to securely integrate the dual gauges into your bike’s existing structure.
- Wiring Harness Adaptation: You will almost certainly need to modify the wiring harness on your motorcycle to connect to the digital meter’s wiring. This may involve cutting, splicing, and soldering wires. Thorough knowledge of your bike’s electrical system and the meter’s wiring diagram is essential.
- Sensor Integration: Depending on the compatibility of the speed and other sensors, you might need to install aftermarket sensors that are compatible with the digital meter.
Recommendation:
Given the potential for custom work and electrical modifications, professional installation by a qualified motorcycle mechanic is highly recommended when fitting this universal dual-point digital meter to a Yamaha YBR, Suzuki GS 150, or any other motorcycle. They have the expertise and tools to ensure proper mounting, accurate wiring, and correct sensor integration for safe and reliable operation.
