| I always thought it would be cool to have a | | | | -Displays a trip odometer that can be reset after |
| computer on one of my dirt bikes, but never really | | | | every ride |
| thought I would actually get one. Well, I ended up | | | | -Has a permanent odometer that shows the |
| getting a Trail Tech Vapor recently because it's | | | | cumulative mileage |
| required for my bike to be street legal. So I might as | | | | -Can alternate between Miles & Kilometers |
| well take advantage of this little piece of technology | | | | Temperature: |
| while I can. To my surprise, it shows everything a car | | | | -Shows the ambient air temperature |
| or street motorcycle dash would show, and more! | | | | -Displays engine temperature on different mode |
| I instantly fell in love with this thing as soon as I | | | | -Two programmable temperature warning lights |
| started the bike. It boots up quickly with a | | | | (yellow & red) |
| back-lighted screen showing a tachometer that tells | | | | -Displays degrees in either Fahrenheit or Celsius |
| the RPM of the engine, a speedometer, the ambient | | | | Clock: |
| temperature, a clock, as well as a trip odometer. It | | | | -Shows the Real time displayed in 12/24 hours |
| didn't take long for me to start pressing buttons and | | | | -Has built-in stopwatch |
| find out what else this dirt bike computer could do. It | | | | -Shows the current ride time |
| was like I went back in time to when I got my first | | | | -Shows total ride time |

| Installation: | | | | Ease-of-Use: |
| Putting the actual computer on is the easy part. It's | | | | There's only a few buttons to push, "mode, right |
| the routing and hooking up the wires that is a little | | | | arrow, and left arrow," so navigating the computer |
| more difficult. Don't worry though, Trail Tech Vapor | | | | and all of its features is simple. Click mode once to |

| consuming because you have to cut out a section of | | | | enough for anyone to read. |
