Has anyone used an inexpensive bicycle odomoter/speedometer on a dirt bike?
i.e. yz250f
thanks in advance

I've used a bicycle odo on several bikes. Works best if you get a sensor cable for an enduro computer because they are a lot stronger. I use a Moose enduro computer cable and adapt the ends to the bicycle odo. Use a disk guard and this set up is very reliable.

I have used the panoram bicycle computer with great success. Trailtech (i think there's a link on the main thumpertalk page) sell the mounting kits. I have one on my WRf250, and it works great. Trailtech have brilliant customer service/ethic as well

refer to this thread on the WR426 board http://www.thumperta...TML/003729.html

I run a Sigma on mine for enduros. I'm not real serious about enduros so I just use the bike odo and a watch. I went to Sigma because they make a rear wheel pickup. The cordless pickup models will not work, it's too far from bars to front wheel and the front wheel pickup cord is too short. Now, here is the hot tip. Go to Radio Shack and pick up an earth magnet. The magnet will bit perfectly in the hex head bolts on your front brake rotor. Epoxy the magnet in there and make a mount out of aluminum for your front axel pinch bolts and you are set.

Another option for the sensor magnet is available from Ty racing...it is the disk rotor hex bolt sold w/ the magnet already installed. Check out the Enduro Magnetic Mount sensor at this link:
