Hour Meter question

[4Speed]

I want to add a hour meter to my 2010 225 Sport XS DFI and was thinking of picking up one of those induction type in which you wrap the lead a turn or two around a spark plug wire. I don't want to drill the dash and think I could mount the unit under the cowl. Question is will this limit or affect the spark to the cylinder its on causing issues?

i put a "motominder" under my 260 cowl since its last rebuild. used velcro & stuck it right on the newly renicked block near #2 cyl.works great,only counts when engine is running. logged 44 hours so far... lol in 5 years!

I put one on in June, and it works great. Actually, I like it so much that I was thinking of adding length to the wire and mounting it where I could monitor the RPM as mine also records max. I had to locate the wire closer to the plug itself to read well. No other issues to report

Gary, I put 26 hours on it already...

why not get something like the Livorsi Vantage View? Then you'd have plenty of stuff at your fingertips.........

I got the cheap one off ebay- I could NOT get it to work.

Why don't you just get the SmartCraft? You computer already logs the hours.

motominder,$35.if it holds up on my dirtbike with all the abuse,water,mud ,vibration,heat etc ,it will for sure hold its own under the cowl of my pampered 260 ! lol.
