An hour meter on a dirt bike tracks the engine's running time, usually by sensing electrical pulses from the ignition system when the engine is on. This helps riders monitor maintenance intervals based on engine hours rather than just mileage. Some hour meters are wired directly to the bike, while others use a wrap-around wire on the spark plug lead to detect when the engine is operating.
