Koso - R1 - Speedo

Hi all,

Done a search on this topic and found a few bits, how to set it up etc etc, but how have people installed the speed sensor on an R1. I'm not sure how to mount the magnets and where plus how to mount the sensor. Pictures wuld be great but any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers
Adam

Adam,

I have my magnet on the prop shaft in the tunnel.

I made up a small bracket to support the sensor and give it some adjustment.

Plenty of other options though, prop flange onto diff or drive flanges on the joints.

No difference really, you have loads of adjustment for circumference with the Koso.

You can use as many as you wish, I suppose using more would make it more sensitive at slower speeds.

Works fine here though
