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!
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. 🍻
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.
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...
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.
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.
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 purchased the exact same tech meter so the timing of this video and content is much appreciated!
No problem terry! Thank you for watching
I came here to say the same thing. He is truly doing the Lord's work!
Great instructions, your videos are very helpful. Thanks for creating them.
Hey Marnie Rich Aaron!
Thank you for watching and subscribing!
A digital dash on the Navi, I like it. Thanks again !
Kinda what I was think Vincent!
Thank you for watching!
Very helpfull video. I'm from El Salvador and I have a Serpento Nova, that's the chinese copy of the Navi, so it should work with my motorcycle too
Yes it will just fine. Thanks for watching and subscribe!
Thanks for the content. It helps me alot
Great vid! Put this on my DRZ

but he said factory setting for idle is 2000 and it didnt read 4000
Same here great timing
Did you leave the tack setting on 1p1r? I swear the instructions say to put them at 1p2r but that was off for me.
I bought it for the screwdriver.... everything else was just a bonus. :)
Lol right…
Thanks for watching Jeff!
Did you purchase a Honda Navi or looking at one?

is the tach reading has delay/lag or is it just the camera shutter effect?

Yes, I also have it in the discerption as well. Hope this helps.

Mine says err for temp. I've heard a lot of these have this issue.
@@garylee7774 interesting mines still good 👍
@@rideordie6886 must be a few bad apples. For the price, I'll try another. Thanks!
I'm doing a custom application for mine and the wires will be too. Do you think it will be fine to splice those two and make them a few feet longer?

Will you have to adjust your air-fuel screw to lean it out a bit OR back to an 88 main jet?
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.

@@rideordie6886 unfortunately not yet. I called yesterday they said it had already shipped. But who knows if that's true

@@rideordie6886 I subscribed. I want to see everything you do to the Navi.
I wish it had a power button to save battery life. Do you know if it'll save your settings if you take the battery out?
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 😂

mine dont have the circle heat connector mine came with a flat piece of copper
are u 300rpm higher or is the sensor 300 off?
If you watch the series of videos you would see that this video of the multimeter is before drilling the Welch screw out so you can tune the Navi…
Model ?
What is the ideal idle rpm?
Hey Dylan. 1700 is factory idle rpm.
Thank you for watching, subscribe if you haven’t all ready, more videos to come.
@@rideordie6886 I've subbed, Love the navi content and how detailed your videos are.
I’m getting and “err” message on the temp display on mine. Anyone had this?
I haven’t had any err code n mine…
I’m assuming you checked you wires and connections? Did you keep your instructions?
@@rideordie6886 yea. No mention of it in instructions. I flipped the temp sensor around on the head bolt too just to make sure that wasn’t it. Weird.
@@abrown376 did you try removing the battery to see if it would rest?
Mine is the same
I have the same error message after days use
Wow that box doesn't even need a key it would be so easy to steal... 3 screws lol
Navi is so light if one wanted the box it would be easier just to carry the Navi and not remove the bolts… 🤣
@@rideordie6886 Haha so true I forgot that. I always worry about my Grom disappearing that way.
The interface on this thing is a pain in the balls.
