VAPOR SENSORS INSTALLATION

POWER | TEMPERATURE | RPM

RADIATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSTALLATION:

Drain fluid from the radiator. To drain the fluid, remove the lower bolt from the

water pump housing. It can be found by looking for the bolt with a copper washer.

Remove the radiator cap to let the coolant flow (fast) from the water pump housing.

Fig.1: Use the sensor to mark on the radiator hose where to make two cuts. (Use

the left hose to measure hot fluid, or the right hose to measure fluid after it’s been

cooled.) The cuts should be about ¾” apart from each other and in a straight

section of the hose.

Fig 2: Cut radiator hose. Use a pair of good scissors or cutters.

Fig 3: Install sensor in hose. Slide a provided hose clamp on each end of the newly

cut radiator hose. Insert Radiator Hose Sensor to join the two halves of the radiator

hose. Tighten the hose clamps as shown in Fig.3.

Connect sensor wire connector to Vapor.

Refill the radiator with fluid.

Perform a two button reset (<LEFT> + <MODE>.) Vapor will not display temperature

until the reset is performed (telling Vapor to look for a sensor.)

Vapor will display “- - -” for engine temperature until it reaches 100°F (38°C).

Test the system. Make sure there is no fluid leakage.

Use zip-ties to secure the sensor wire along bike as it is routed to Vapor.

Ready to be installed in bike.

POWER INSTALLATION:

Wired to Vehicle Battery: Connect the power wire to the vehicle battery and to Vapor. A 0.5A fuse (not provided)

should be used between the power cable and positve battery terminal when connecting directly to a battery.

Vapor is polarity independent, so it cannot be installed backwards. Use zip-ties to secure the cable to the bike as

it is routed to Vapor.

System Tap: It is possible to tap into the vehicle electrical system anywhere in the circuit. Possible points are at

the lights, ignition, or CDI. When tapping into the electrical system, connect to a circuit protected by fuse. It is best to

connect so power is not interuppted by key switch.

MX Bikes: Motocross bikes do not have 12 volt power. For connection to an MX bike, connect power leads to

ignition power leads from stator. Use caution, as this is a high voltage option.

Vapor will operate in the range of 6.0-400 VAC/VDC, but will not draw enough power to drain a vehicle battery.

Remove the M6 pressure relief bolt from top of radiator.

Install Vapor M6 Temperature Thermistor in pressure bolt hole. Tighten to no more than finger tight +¼

turn. Note that sensor is hollow brass and can break easily. Use silicone gasket sealer to prevent leaks.

Connect sensor wire connector to Vapor.

Perform a two button reset (<LEFT> + <MODE>.) Vapor will not display temperature until the reset is

performed (telling Vapor to look for a sensor.)

Vapor will display “- - -” for engine temperature until it reaches 100°F (38°C).

If the water level drops below the level of the thermistor bolt, the temperature

reading may become innaccurate.

Test the system.

Use zip-ties to secure the sensor wire along bike as it is routed to Vapor.

Remove spark plug.

Remove the crush washer from spark plug and discard.

Screw on the air-cooled temperature sensor (it looks like a ring terminal) where the

crush washer was located.

Reinstall spark plug.

Connect sensor wire connector to Vapor.

Perform a two button reset (<LEFT> + <MODE>.) Vapor will not display temperature

until the reset is performed (telling Vapor to look for a sensor.)

Vapor will display “- - -” for engine temperature until it reaches 100°F (38°C).
