Title: cs-1 speedo error.
Post by swing69 on 05/27/15 at 13:08:39

I never have good luck with the search function...so I'll ask... how is the ryca-cs-1 speedo error. I went by a police radar size at 30mph on the speedo, and the sign said 35mph.

typical???????? any fix?

Yeah, it's off. I have a correction chart tapped on my tank right now so I can verify the exact error, but a 5 mph error around 30 and a 10 mph error around 60 is what I'm seeing. Most speedo errors give too high of a reading. A low reading can get you in trouble if you're not aware.

How's the shoulder?

Swing,

My Ryca Tachometer had 3 wires, red, green and blue.

The green wire goes to the (-) ignition coil.

The red and blue are tied together and go to a +12VDC source. I believe that the red wire is the lamp.

The black is a frame ground.

The Speedo only has two wires. red (+) and black (-).

Gary: thnking back, that's how I hooked it up. blue and red twisted together coming off the horn hot. green to coil. thats 3 wires.

black? yes ground. a 4th wire??? is the ground wire to the case of the tach? tach works perfect, just no light was I supposed to add a ground?

Sounds like you did it right. It might be as simple as a blown bulb.
