So....I am new to this site and new to my bike but I LOVE it so far. I am trying to get a computer for my 1989 KDX200 and have had no luck. I do apologize if this same comment is buried in here but I have tried searching it with every word I thought possible. I see plenty for the 95-06 KDX, but nothing for mine. I emailed Trail Tech and the person didn't have too much info and said a generic one might work but needed to know my inside diameter of a coolant hose? I guess for the temp sensor? Just seeing if anyone knows of one that will work, even if some modifications are in order. BTW I do have the stock forks which I had seen an older KDX200 but he had new style KX forks..
Thanks for any help!

So I got the '95-06 computer and am finally installing it and cannot seem to find a "simple" way to make the speedometer work. Meaning I can't find a way to attach the magnet to the hub. If I remove one of the Phillips screws and then drill and tap the hole bigger to fit the magnet it still sits too high and will rub on the caliper on a revolution. Any pointers or make a custom way too attach it? Somebody must have one with pics out there....please?

Please post a pic of the interference between the magnet and caliper as I just can't see that being a problem.

I had the same issue,(have). I was going to just jb weld the free magnet to the hub- but wanted to see what other solutions there are. The issue described was my problem- replacing one of the brake disc bolts with the supplied bolts, their head sits too high, hitting the brake caliper mount as it rotates.
Any solution yet?

Again, I would like to see a pic of the interference. I would assume, since no pic to actually see it, that you could grind the clearance you need into the caliper mount.
