got one of these myself - if you can afford it get the wiring harness to go with it, makes it really simple.

I think the harness is only available for the 03 onwards model;
im having trouble getting the tacho wire also when programming it the number 1 just flashes and doesnt change to the three flashing lines

What do you think of it so far? Use it much?

I miss the read out I had on the 125 and have been looking at getting one for my curvy... Rather nice of you to publish the wiring info

Gear Indicator is great, stops me going for an imaginary 7th gear, i find myself staring at it while riding though lol
i will post a picture of it tomorrow when it light, i stuck it to the screen above the rev counter

I emailed Acumen reguarding a loom for my 2000 SV650S and got the following reply:

Hi Paul
No, sorry we don’t do a loom for that bike. We’ve seen problems with the early SV’s and would recommend a speedo upgrade kit for the bike anyway.
I’ll do you a deal on it as you already have the DG8 – Half price. Let me know if that is acceptable and I’ll set you up a discount code for a web purchase.
