Precautions

WARNING

• Read all instructions before

using Striker.

• Avoid contact with gasoline,

degreasers or other chemical

cleaners.

• Striker can be used in the

rain but should not be used

underwater.

• Do not wash with pressure

washer.

• When installing Striker,

disconnect the vehicle battery.

PAY ATTENTION

TO THE TRAIL!

• When installing radiator hose

temperature sensors, make

sure it ts BEFORE cutting the

radiator hose.

• Do not leave the main unit in

direct sunlight when not riding.

• Check gap between speed

sensor and magnet periodically.

• Do not bend, twist, kink or

abuse the sensor cables.

• To reduce the risk of injury,

do not disassemble Striker or

its accessories.

Physical Features

ATV Sensor/Magnet Installation:

Striker needs two things to be

able to collect distance data:

1. A magnet placed on the

spinning part of the wheel.

2. A speed sensor, placed

on the stationary part of the

wheel.

The magnet spins around tripping the sensor switch each time--

giving Striker speed, distance and time data.

The magnet is installed on the brake rotor because it spins with

the wheel. The provided magnetic bolt can simply replace a stock

rotor bolt (see above picture). If that will not work, glue the spare

magnet in a hole on the

brake rotor. (JB Weld or

a similar slow-cure epoxy

works well.)

After the magnet is in, the

sensor is placed on a non-

spinning part the wheel, rotor

shield, or provided bracket.

Physical Features

Motorcycle Sensor/Magnet Installation:

Motorcycles, like ATVs,

need a magnet placed

on the spinning part

of the wheel and the

sensor installed to a non-

spinning part.

The magnet typically gets

bolted or glued to the

brake rotor. The speed

sensor wire should come

from the back of the

computer, be cable-tied to the brake line as it travels down the front

forks, then attached to the brake caliper.

Magnet About to Pass Under Sensor

Striker can tell how far and fast

it’s traveled by how many times

the magnet passes the sensor.

Many Motorcycles and ATVs

have special installation

procedures. Refer to the

provided installation insert for

model-specic instructions.Optimum Magnet Rotation Path

Measure Wheel Size

Overview:

Knowing your exact wheel size it critical for Striker to calculate

correct speed and distance data. The more accurate the wheel

size, the better Striker performs.

Method 1: Ruler

Find the

circumference

of front wheel by

measuring its

diameter in

millimeters. Multiply

the Wheel Diameter by 3.14.

The result is your wheel size.

Wheel Size =

Wheel Diameter(mm)

x3.14

Diameter

x3.14

Method 2: Rolling

On a at surface, mark the tire sidewall and the ground with a

marking pen. Roll the wheel until the mark on the tire completes

one revolution and is back on the ground. Mark the ground at this

location. Measure the distance between the marks on the ground

in millimeters (multiply inches by 25.4 to convert to mm). Use

this number for your wheel size. For accuracy, the rider’s weight

should be on the bike when making the measurement.

16 17

Measure Wheel Size

Method 3: Distance Measurement

This is the most accurate method.

1. Set the wheel size to 2110mm (motorcycle) or 1675 (ATV).

2. Find a length of road where the distance is known.

3. Ride the distance, noting how far the computer reads (i.e. the

road is known to be 5 miles and the computer shows 4.95 miles.)

4. Use the numbers to solve for X in the following equation:

(new wheel size)

5. Enter the number found above into Striker.

(actual miles) x (current wheel size)

X =

FAQ Troubleshooting

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why does nothing work?

•

Try the reset button on the back of Striker.

•

The internal battery may be dead, or Striker is not hooked up

to vehicle power properly. Review installation procedure.

What kind of electrical systems does Striker work with?

•

The voltage readout works on systems with any type of battery

(lead acid, NiMH, NiCad, Li-Ion, etc.)

•

Striker works best on vehicles with DC electrical systems

(where a battery or capacitor is installed.) The voltage readout

will be accurate and comparable to quality multi-meters.

•

Striker will operate on AC electrical systems but displays

voltage with less accuracy. (Not a true RMS meter.)

•

Striker operates with a 4-point oating voltage average.

Everything is working, but the (K)MPH reading is way o󰀨.

•

The speed sensor/magnet may be installed incorrectly. Double

check installation. See page 14-15.

•

The wheel size setting may be incorrect. Please review wheel

size measurement instructions in this manual. See page 16.

40 41

FAQ Troubleshooting

The screen is hazy or crazed.

Did gasoline, degreasers, or other chemical cleaners come in

•

contact with Striker’s screen? Chemicals can damage Striker.

The backlight won’t stay lit.

Striker needs to be connected to vehicle’s 12 volt system in

•

order for the backlight to be continuous on. Review installation

procedure. See page 9 and 29.

Striker’s internal battery is dead.

To replace the battery, use a coin to unscrew the round panel

•

on the back of Striker. Remove the old battery and install the

new one. Make sure the positive pole is facing up. Replace

with common watch battery CR2302. See page 10.

Why aren’t the LEDs working?

Striker needs to be connected to the vehicle battery in

•

order for the LEDs to function.

Settings must be programmed manually. See pages 35-36.

•

The LEDs dim or go out if the vehicle battery voltage is too low.

•

The maintenance icons won’t clear o󰀨 the screen.

•

Go into setup mode and make sure OIL and CARE are both

set to 0. The icons should then disappear from the normal

screens. See page 37.
