Title: Tach - that was easy
Post by russ_g on 05/03/05 at 21:46:24

As everyone said - Red and Blue to the positive terminal on the coil, Green to the Negative and Black to ground on the frame. Works like a charm. Now i know for sure - my idle is correct :)

Hey Perry. Being a fellow a fellow Canuck you can order it from

http://www.chrometoys.com.

The tach itself is from MotoVan.

http://www.motovan.com/cat/2004moto_en/html/2004moto_en.html

It is on page 417 and is the "Mini Tacho 60MM". They have a couple others on the same page. The only reason i picked this one is because they had it in stock in the store. I'm an instant gratification kind of guy and hate waiting for things in the mail. I went for a quick ride last night. Needle didn't jump around at all, but up around 4000 RPM she vibrates. I'm going to play with the mount a bit more and add some rubber washers or something to see if it helps. Don't get me wrong, even though it was vibrating, the tach kept a steady readable reading. At 85$ this tach is a good deal.

How does the tach work? Works great - or did you mean something else.

Actually what i found surprising is that I think i may have been pushing my bike a little hard. If 6000 rpm is redline then i've pretty much been redlining it every shift...well at least when there's no one in front of me here in town.

i meant how does it sense what the revs are..it says its electronic..does that mean no mechanical cable?

You're asking the wrong guy on that one. I just hook it up like it sez and it werks.

No cable, just wires to the coil and a ground - counts the spark pulses/2
