Quick how to hour meter wire wrap on a new YZ450F

Hey dudes. Not sure if this is the right place to post this. Just installed a hour meter on the new ride. I watched the how to vids on the old interweb, and all the videos show the CRF style coil that just tell you to wrap and zip tie the wire externally below the coil pack.
the Yamaha is a different style than the ones in the how to vids. Easy clean way on a new Yamaha is to drill a 1/16" hole in the upper cap/coil rubber, then the wire can be fed thru the cap keeping it water tight and below the coil. Then wrap it and tape it.
Pretty self explanatory, as per pics.

They do make good wireless hour meters as well. I use them on my bikes. I have not a good hour meter reading installing the wire type in the way you installed it.

I have a GET wireless hour meter and it would not work on the frame of my '14 KX250F near the steering stem. I relocated it by zip tying it to one of the motor mounts and it now gets a reading but I don't think it is reading accurately. I'm pretty disappointed in it.

i have heard hit and miss on that product, early products would activate in bed of truck potholes, vibrate, hope that get improved the product since then. .i use trail tech with rpm ,readings also , so far so good.

... nothing easier then the WC tach/ hr meter and their mounting bracket

Just put one on also. Ordered it Mon am, got it Tues afternoon.
(Great service & products)

* Side note. Misplaced my plastic sleeve for my WC perch. Gave them a call to order 2, they said no worries and sent me 2 for free 2 days later.

The hour meter on the GYTR tuner can be reset.

yea, thats where the trust factor comes in, if i had a yzf, i would have the tuner or buy a hr meter also., i put hr meters on all my bikes, while greasing them and before riding them.
