Tach - that was easy

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 Smiley

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.

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