Super-Dave Rosno comments:

Since the SV is a simple ignition, getting the tach opportunity was a matter of using two zip ties 4cm apart, don't ask Jeff and I how we measured, to hold the wire pick up.

We fired it, and it wasn't the right RPM, and I told Jeff there had to be something for that. We went into the menu and found something we could change and we got the RPM's right. Also changed the clock from "Zulu" time to our time zone with daylight savings.

Jeff programmed start finish and three additional points.

I put the timer in the position that my XT timer was on my triple clamp between my left fork and the stem nut. Really was pretty awesome. In my morning session, I turned some 1:15's with a top speed of 132MPH, and then it gives my rpm that goes with that. I didn't have the shift light set up very well, but I could see it blinking away at me. We got some false RPM numbers occasionally, but we didn't have much time to pursue that. Dropped my times while keeping my top speed down, actually, in Supertwins.

I liked it a whole lot.
