2011 xc 300 odo/speedometer ?

[Muddy]

I looked at a 2011 xc-300 on Sat and must say I was impressed with the bike except for the fact they don't come with a odo/speedometer. anyone know what the factory unit would cost?. I guess a Trail tech would be a option. It is after all an enduro right?

 

[HydroDog]

I believe Trail Tech is the factory supplier.

Are the 2011's as beautiful as everyone says. Word is the pictures don't do it justice.

YES! The colors are so bright, its hard to capture with a camera. Matter of fact...the wife likes the GG red so well, she had our kitchen painted the same color!

She's hard core, what can I say?

Plus it was easier to cover up all that orange!!!!

I put the Vector on mine...ordered it for a Gas Gas...and never had to cut a wire
everything plugged right in...and the speedo sensor wire has a spot to place it right along side the brake line.....I also put the coolant sensor inline between the thermostat and the cyl head to keep an eye on the temps

the Vector was about 100 bucks or so....

YES THE BIKE IS LOVELY TOO...EVEN IN PICS

I like that you park your bike in the "recreation" room.

I wanted to order a Vector the other day but I decided to do some more research first. Not trying to slam the guy that answered the phone at TT, but he didn't seem to be aware they had a product that plugs into the GG wire harness. Can you tell me which p/n you ordered? None of them list GG in the applications.

Also, which temperature sensor did you use? Can you post a pic of your installation of it?

Bikes in the Rec room......talk about a bone of contention !!

But I feel its one less thing(or three) to worry about in the winter (ie theft) I bring the bikes inside...

However.. the part number for the proper trail tech is an 665- 85102 this also fits Bergs and KTM...

I used the inline water sensor(thermistor) and placed it between the thermostat and the cyl head....note the position of the thermostat under the upper shroud opening.....and the sensor is below that

pics here shown


Also the taillight/mudflap is a Acerbis unit...not the one I started out with DRC unit but the LED packed up after a few hours and was not able to get warranty ...I went with a more trusted ACERBIS brand second time round....the bike has 6 hrs total so far

Geez Troy did you even ride that thing...it's soooo clean.

They must of had a sale on Toothbrushes, ArmorAll and Autosol.

( I bet your Huskys aren't that clean...)

LOL !!! yes the Husky's are clean too !!

my clean up is minimal but effective

spray it off good with pressure washer...lube the chain real good

then spray bike liberally with the secret........do it while the bike is still dripping wet

(mix Armour all with water in a spray bottle 50/50) dont wipe it off....and dont use full strength its slicker than snake dung

been doing it for years...bikes look like new and clean up quick

Is the black clamp on the inside of the left bar mount, the only mounting point? Any other pics of the actual mount?

Yes I am Using the black one only

Trail Tech does give you a smaller Dia clamp as well to mount on a smaller bar or further outward if you wish...

I like having it where it is so I can rotate it if I need to see it in the sun..trail tech might have more options if you prefer it lower

It gets complicated if you desire it between the plate and the bars...very little room I dont think one would see it too well.....

Gas Gas must have a special fixture on the OE EC's to mount it and hold the plate further forward at the same time ????

here is rotated forward

GG comp has a mount bracket that bolts onto the top tripple clamp behind the number board (this is on the 2010's) it is nice and out of the way, but not easy to see while riding

 

[mcnut]

Thanks for the pics Troy.

Does anyone know what the OE setup is for the temp sensor? I can't seem to locate it in the GG exploded parts manual.

Easiest thing to do is email kevan at jemfest dot com and ask him to email you his diy report he did for installing the trailtech onto his gasgas. Much easier to use than what i downloaded from trailtech website

 

[mcnut]

Done that. His DIY is for earlier model years that do not have the OE thermostat. He used the TT sensor where the current OE thermostat is. I'm trying to keep the bike as close to OE as possible.

The sensor just needs to be on the engine side of the stat

Looks pretty sano to me. I'm gonna have to get one.

Looks fab, I am in the process of installing one on my 2010. Sent to me from GG UK. The power wire is completely different, how did you wire your power in?

Like I mentioned earlier.. mine was plug and play I didnt have to cut any wires......you should have one red and one black wire 2 pin connector on the bike side...this plugs into the 2 pin one red and one white wire on the trail tech unit

2010 may be different if so you will have to connect manualy....but a 2 pin connector is provided in the kit with pre stripped wires...black is ground(earth) and the red goes to power on the bike...coil is a good spot
