Posts: 33	Savage Tachometer 10/30/09 at 08:29:38 Hi again I have been searching for a tach for my savage 1996 for weeks now - and so far have been unsuccessful- even the dealerships can not seem to find one for a single cylinder. Does anyone have one and if so where did they get it - I am also in Canada where parts can be hard to come by. thanks nik

I believe it has been established that the Savage/S40 spark plug fires on every revolution, on the TDC of the intake stroke and of the exhaust stroke. Most singles would fire once every other rev, only on the TDC of the intake stroke. I think that means an unmodified tach would show 2x the actual rpms on our bike. Some tachs can probably be programmed to compensate.

Have this one on my bike, straight install. Was about 1/2 an hour to install. Took longer to take the tank off then wire it up! Have had it on for about 9 months with no problems.

While I've never personally done business with this individual, I've yet to hear anything good about him from the "oldtimers" on this sight, so if you choose to order from him, be warned! Cheesy

And, the dealers most likely can get one of them for you. I really liked my Drag Specialties tach. I think they are somewhere around $75.
