Installing a tachometer
01/10/14 at 18:25:17

Ive done my research and have not found a definite way of hooking it up, I have a 4 wire analog tachometer

These are the ways I've seen thru the search Which on is correct?

-One wire goes to the neg side of the coil
-two wires go to the pos side of the coil
-one wire gets ground.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-The green wire goes to the "Black with yellow stripe" wire on the ignition coil
-the orange wire is switched power.
-I wired my tach light into it also since we don't have a "run with lights off" option.
-Ground can go on one of the screws holding the Ign coil to the frame.

I also just received a raptor petcock but found some rubber tube in the box with the petcock, whats the little rubber tube for? Its like 3 inches long...

Here is how I wired my tachometer (from RYCA).

Signal (Green) to "Black with Yellow Stripe" wire on the ignition coil
Ground (Black) to Ignition Coil frame screw
Power (Red) and Light (Blue) to Horn Hot Wire (It is ignition - switched)

Use a ring tongue terminal on the ground wire.
Don't wrap it under the screw head like I did.

I put one of these on my DRZ and it works great, also functions as an hour meter.

Connect both the Red and Blue tachometer wires to the spade connector on the Red & Black striped horn wire.
