SIP Vespa T5 combo tacho upgrade
German scooter parts specialist SIP says that since their introduction in 2010 , the company ' s combination tachometers with speedometer have " fundamentally changed the market ". Functions that previously could only be achieved by using numerous additional devices were brought together in a single instrument , and in an unobtrusive way . The design of this T5 speedometer , with its original look , is reminiscent of the very popular T5 instruments with analogue rev counter . In addition to revolutions per minute and speed , this speedometer can also display temperature and offers the possibility to switch comfortably between AF and EGT connection in the menu . Two small push buttons allow an elegant change between the different digital displays . They are discreetly integrated into the speedometer glass . As a " little extra treat ", every time the engine is started , the tachometer performs a self-test and creates a touch of Grand Prix feeling . Speed , revs and fuel gauge are permanently displayed in analogue , and in addition , the speedometer has two digital displays on which numerous additional functions can be displayed - including the option of speed or revs . SIP CEO Ralf Jodl told IDN : " We have developed two
' Maxia 5 ' top case
Presented as a preview at last year ' s EICMA , Maxia , GIVI ' s top of the range Monokey model , is now available in its fifth version since its inception in 1991 . At 58 litres , this is the largest top case ever designed by GIVI , taking three years to develop . The design features " embossing , clean lines and ontrend colour combinations ", with the modern front design that is emphasised by aerodynamic elements such as the horizontally running reflector and the workmanship of the two lower covers , reminiscent of sports extractors . The Maxia 5 features four painted covers ( two upper and two lower ), a soft mat applied to the base , a mesh and elasticated strap , and a security lock . The covers are available in aluminium or black , with red or transparent reflectors . In terms of technology , " the larger the case , the versions of the T5 tachometer : a national one with km / h and an international one with km / h and mph - to also offer a wide range of displays for the mph market . " Additionally , on longer journeys , you can distinguish between two individual distances with driving time and average speed - perfect for distinguishing between daily and touring distances . The total distance can also be set , so that the kilometres ridden on the old speedometer can be taken over without any problems ." Special functions include a gear indicator - reading the gear engaged at any given moment . To do this , the speedometer compares the number of
greater its structural rigidity must be ". Until now this has meant inserting ribs at strategic points in the shells , reducing the internal space . Instead , GIVI now machines the lid and bottom moulds undercut , which also reduces weight . This means the internal frame is more rigid and with fewer constraints in terms of shape . Streamlined lines and curves do not affect the sturdiness of the structure , and two ' bulges ' cut into the sides of the lid allow easier positioning of helmets . revolutions and the speed travelled and calculates the gear ratio . This function must be taught at the beginning , as there are countless possible combinations of primary and rear gear ratios and the individual gear wheels . Ralf also notes that spark plugs with interference suppression should always be used . This is an easy-install upgrade . " As with the original , the speed is determined by the speedometer cable , but you also have the option of using a speed sensor , which you can purchase as an accessory . So , if the speedometer cable is worn or broken , the display will still be reliable and functional . The speed is recorded via the light signal . " There is no risk of data being lost . Thanks to an internal memory , all information remains safely backed up . The speedometers operate on 12V AC / DC , which means that no battery is required . SIP Performance , Vespatronic and Parmakit ignitions can be connected ."

The usually flat rear is now curved . This new structure also improves the fit between the two shells , enhancing the overall aesthetics and security against break-ins . Rear strengthened ' comb ' hinges allow the lid to stay open at the desired angle , also removing the need for retention cables . The opening system is also improved and includes a carrying handle . Closure is by simply pressing down on the lid . The maximum load is 10 kg ( excluding the top case ) and the dimensions are 598 x 494 x 321 mm ( LxDxH ). The case weighs 5.4 kg .
