If you swap forks and front wheel, what do you match the Trail Tech to, the bike or the forks?
Thanks

I assume your looking for which particular unit to put on your bike. What Trail tech unit are you looking to install? Endurance, Vapor? I used the same unit for the KX that I used on the KDX for the Endurance unit. RickD put a Vapor computer on his KDX with KX forks and wheel. Not sure whick machine specific unit he used.

I'm looking at an endurance model, unless the vapor is the way to go. Do the units consist of the the head unit and a wheel sensor, only? Or, do they have a connection to the CDI or flywheel? What makes it model specific? It sound like , with the endurance, you would need to match the front end, not the motor. But, the vapor needs a way to read the revs.

I reused my Endurance on my KX front end after the change, but the magnetic volt supplied for the original KDX rotor won't fit the KX one. Luckily they supplied a stick on magnet with the original mount kit. I epoxied that in place, and it works fine, but I'd rather have the correct volt.
If you are ordering the stuff from scratch, I would order it based on which brake rotor you are using.

Oops! That's true I forgot, I had to order another magnetic rotor bolt since the KDX has a larger bolt and wouldn't fit the KX hub.Colorado Mike wrote:I reused my Endurance on my KX front end after the change, but the magnetic volt supplied for the original KDX rotor won't fit the KX one.

It's not a bolt... it's a volt! Right CM!

Alright, If I understand correctly, you need to match the front brake rotor bolt size, with the Endurance kit.
It looks like, on the Trail Tech website, that the Vapor has a lot more sensors that could be bike specific. And it would be easier to get the kit for a KDX, and just order the correct rotor bolt sensor for the wheel you use. I am leaning towards the Vapor, for the added functions.
Now, to confuse matters further, I read on another forum, that Trail Tech has a new (after vapor) computer coming out. Does anyone know if this is true?
