Froggy,
Surpsiingly perhaps, the original tach on my wife's KLX has been a fantastic thing for her, because she never used enough revs. She now treats 4000 rpm as more or less the minimum, rather than what I suspect was close to her redline. She now carries momentum over obstacles that would cause her grief before, and changes down before a hill, rather than on it and then stop. As well as the analog tach, the Vapor has two shift lights, a yellow and red, and both programmable and my intent is to use the yellow as her objective, ie I've set it to 4000, and if it goes off she should change down. We shall see.
The temp gauge is I think a bit academic as the Bergs generally don't overheat, certainly my 98 has never overheated as evidenced but coolant out the overflow. The 650 seems OK too, and I do have a fan on it, but as discussed eleswhere it does run a lot due to the thermo switch being set quite low, I think 80 deg was quoted. The KLX has a temp warning light too, standard, and I fitted the indicator light surround and mounting bracket so she still has all 4 warning lights. She likes the neutral light even though we have discussed ad nauseum the fact that it doesn't have any practical value.
