The advantage of the active speed sensor is as following, 1. You don't need to install the magnet in the opposite position ofthe speed
sensor. 2. You could set up the sensor signal input up to 60 points, and the speed displayed will be more accurate. Please note that the
speed sensor attached in the kit is passive speed sensor, and the maximum speed signal it could read is 6 points.

The RPM wire installation
A. Please wrap the RPM wire at least 5 times around the spark plug.
A1. Please use tape to fix the RPM (Type A) wire onto the spark plug wire.
A2. Please use tape to fix the RPM wire (Type A) on the spark plugcap.
A3. Please use tape to fix the RPM wire (Type A) on the coil positive pole wire. For some models with the coil negative wire, please tape
the RPM wire (Type A) on the negative wire to get the RPM signal. (For example, the YAMAHA V-max 1200)
B. Please connect the RPM wire (type B) to connect to the ignition coil positive pole.
B1. Please wrap the RPM wire (type B) on the spark plug wire by connecting the male and female connector.
C. Please connect the RPM wire (Type A) to the pick up.
D. Please parallel the RPM wire (Type A) with the original tachometer signal wire (This method is available only when the original
speedometer comes with a tachometer on it. You could get the RPM wire information from the service manual of your bikes.)
E. For the models comes with the new ignition coil, please wrap the RPM wire (Type A) at least 5 times around the spark plug as the
above drawing.
F. Please use the method mentioned above to install the RPM wire, and then connect the ground wire to the frame body or the
engine. (Please make sure that the ground is a good ground.)
For multi-ignition models, we will suggest you to get the signal on the first ignition.
The best signal source will be in order as D>C>B>A, we will suggest you to check different ways if you have problems to get the
RPM signal.

The more magnet sensor points are, the less the display interval is. when installing the magnet, please
put the magnet with N-mark side face the outside and put them averagely to avoid wrong signal.
EX. 1: If your disk has 3 screws, you could install 1 or 3 magnets to catch the speed.
EX. 2: If your disk has 4 screws, you could install 1 2 or 4 magnets to catch the speed.
EX. 3: If your disk has 5 screws, you could install 1 or 5 magnets to catch the speed.
EX. 4: If your disk has 6 screws, you could install 1 2 3 or 6 magnets to catch the speed.
After finishing the magnet installation and sensor point setting, please move your tire to test the speedometer work or not.

The active speed sensor could be installed besides the mental parts
such as the disc screws, the brake disc to detect the gap of the disc,
the gear plate to detect the frequency of the teeth on the gear. We
will suggest you to use the method of detecting the disc screw for
speed signal. The more the signals are, the better the speed
accuracy is. Please note that the max signal the active speed sensor
could read is 60 points per turn. The LED on the active speed sensor
will light up once the signal is detected.
