Thanks, on mountain bikes again we always go for the s/steel spokes (Double or triple butted), but these again clearly do not see the stress loads that steel spokes do.
Brittle, they snap especially when not fitted correctly (overtightend)

I think she is so used to using gimmicks, she will be okay. A GPS can even be set to provide fuel level warnings. I'd also prefer a speedo with tripmeter.
Fuel range will also depend on what type of roads she'll be riding..... soft sand will increase fuel consumption remarkably... I think a tripmeter is probably the best/ most reliable.
Fuel range will differ according to conditions and whether you calculate that in your head with the help of a GPS, or a trip meter, makes little difference. The reliability sits between your ears, not the Tech involved.
I'm curious, how is the compression compared to the XR600?
On the comments on her FB page and YT channel.
Like everything on social media, you can't be sure it is a true representation. It really is just another perception.
What is wrong with a Vapor dash?
Does not fit the looks of a classic bike, not reliable in the long run. I’d rather have the original instruments and run gps / smartphone as add on
Vapor dashes is n klomp stront, Ek Ry soos n pienkpil fairy en die goed het nog nooit gehou op my scoots nie
The older 34L has auto decompression, I'm sure this one (1VJ ..think that's what they call it) has, too.
