speedo for gas gas ec250

[thenutt]

any suggestions whats the best one to get as i'm fed up changing the battery in my standard one,which is only lasting about 2 weeks, or is there a way i can fit one like they have on the drz e models,

My buddy had a trailtech on his yz a couple years ago, he was pretty happy with it. Just curious but what year is your bike?

I agree ,
I have an 07 ec 300 and the speedo is the acewell type . The battery only lasts about two or three weeks. I am sick of changing it too.
Is there a better alternative?
Cheers Mark

TrailTechs have a few ways to mount. I bought the $10 bracket and mounted it the the triple clamp.

You can mount it anywhere really, I mounted it on a home made bracket that was just an extension of the bracket they send with it.
One important bit of info though..... DO NOT MOUNT IT WHERE PETROL WILL GET ON IT AS THE TRAILTECH UNIT WILL MELT... BELIEVE ME IT DOES.

Trail Tech Vapours are good, I have one on my '03 EC200 and its a ripper of a unit. Does Tacho, Speedo, Engine Temp, has a clock, trip meter. Doesn't have an odo though is its only let down

According to the TrailTech site it has the odo. I have the Vector which is a better choice IMHO because of the adjustable trip distance with the remote.

I just got an 03 EC250 and the speedo looks like it's dead as it don't turn on. So I can use the Trailtech endurance on this bike? Also I notice this bike does not have a battery and the Vapor looks like you need a battery for it so which one would be my best replacement?

Thank you in advance for your help
