PRO GuIDe
German scooter parts and accessory specialist SIP Scootershop has added several new products to its programme in recent months , including the SIP Tacho Karacho - a speedo and rev counter combination instrument for Vespa PX80-200 E Lusso /' 98 / MY /' 11 - also suitable for the 124 to 300 cc Vespa GTV / GT 60 .
T5 tachometer multi-instrument for Vespa T5 models
Since their introduction in 2010 , SIP speedo / rev counter combination instruments have " fundamentally changed the market ," says CEO Ralf Jodel . Functions that were previously only available by using a number of devices have now been brought together in a single , unobtrusive product design . Available in 100 mph and 160 km / h versions and featuring race-style optics in analogue or digital display options , the new " Tacho Karacho " version , with its hand hanging at 6 o ' clock , is reminiscent of the instruments on sports and racing cars of the 60s and 70s . In addition to rpm and speed , it can also display temperature and can be switched between AF and EGT connection in the menu . A small press button allows an elegant change between the different displays , and it can be discreetly mounted on or under the light switch . As an extra quality control step , every time the engine is started , the rev counter performs a self-test - creating a touch of Grand Prix feeling . Also seen here , the SIP T5 tachometer is a multi-instrument for Vespa T5 models in the look of the original analogue instruments . It displays analogue tachometer , speed and fuel gauge in original optics style - national and international versions are available . Among a number of ergonomic touches and innovative functions , on longer journeys riders can distinguish between two individual distances with driving time and average speed - perfect for distinguishing between daily and touring distances - with the total distance also able to be set . Another special function is a gear indicator that compares the number of revolutions and the speed travelled to calculate the gear ratio . An internal memory means all data remains safely backed up ; it operates on 12V AC / DC , so no battery is required . SIP Performance , Vespatronic and Parmakit ignitions can be connected . Finally , this stainless steel rear lowering kit ( with ABE ) for 125-300 cc Vespa GTS / GTS Super / GTV / GT 60 / GT / GT L models reduces the height by approx . 2 cm , improving seat height ergonomics for shorter riders - it is designed to work with the original rear shock absorber and exhaust . The rear shock absorber retains its full height , the kit mounts to the two rear

shocks . On the right side , two new plates are mounted instead of the original shock absorber mount . On the left side , the suspension strut is lowered by means of an adapter . This lowers the vehicle while the suspension strut retains its full working travel . Further comfort for the pillion rider is provided by SIP footrest adapters .
