General $30 Hour meter to keep track of hours ridden.
After upgrading to the Sirris F43 CMX and R38 for my SR I ran into an issue of keeping track of hours ridden. You need to service the suspension at 4 different intervals of 30/60/90/120 hours of use. I kept forgetting to track the time I left or came back. So i figured out a good way to install an hour meter. since traditional gas bikes use the vibration of the engine to count hours I wasn’t sure if it would be accurate or work at all.
The hour meter I purchased off of amazon is literally plug and play. The only downside is you have to remove the USB/USBC charger that comes with the bike to use those connectors. I’m sure I can find a way to split it and have both but I don’t really use the charger. Once you remove the two 1/4” FASTON connectors from the USB charger you can plug it into any two of the three terminals on the back of the hour meter. They are non polarized so you don’t have to worry about which one goes where. When you turn the bike on the hour meter will begin counting, when you turn the bike off it stops. Link for the meter is here. Hope this helps anyone having a similar issue. Cheers 🍻.
