Sure you are meticulous about your maintenance. The only problem is knowing when it's time for that maintenance. Dubach Racing Development (DRD or Dr. D) had the answer with their Hour Meter. When installed it will help you tracking your maintenance intervals. No more guessing how long you road the last few times! Read this review before you ride again!

I love having it to keep track of what's due when.
It is made by someone not at all related to Dr.D ,though.
Parts Unlimited has them,it's a totally identical clone except for no Dr.D printed on it, about 9.00 cheaper.Nicely made,A real snap to install,too. Doug

since they are more or less all the same
I do not care what label they wear
but it is nice, sometimes surprising, to know how long your engine was running
the last 3 I got are the 'hourmeter plus tacho' from PUL

I assume it is water proof, but will a power washer kill this?

Hmmmm i may have to look into one now....... but where would you mount it on an X model? The gas tank is right in the way for the one shown.

I mounted mine on the right side of the frame and it works very well. Haven't had any problems with it and installed without any problems.

Mounted mine under the seat on the aluminum cross member. Doesn't conflict with the seat, is protected and the seat always comes off anyway to do my air filter after every ride, so it is really no inconvenience.

I run Dr D muffler and header (happily) too - my Dr D hour meter got to 4 hours and stopped working - wasnt the best thing I have ever bought to be honest - I wont be buying again sorry

have you checked the wire wrap to make sure it's still in place and tightly bound?

Yea did all that - even hooked up an ducati ignition pickup unit on a lathe as part of testing etc - Just got a dud unit (happens sometimes - no worries) - It went in the bin a few weeks back.

I just have so much crap on the bars already with my Scotts, GPS mount, Ipod wireless remote, etc.
and I really only care what the hours are when I am doing maintenance which always entails removing the seat anyway.
