I recently bought one of the KOSO DL Tachometers, installed it on the bike, wired the signal wire to no.1 cylinder, started it up and all was working fine. I took it for a 20 min test ride and the tach worked fine for about 10 min. Then the RPM display went to 0 and wouldn't move. It would only move few times if I reved the engine over 4K RPM but that stopped as well.
I thought it might be a loose wire somewhere, so I went over the wiring again, checked every connection to make sure it's tight, and it is, but the RPM just keep showing 0. I tried doing some research and found that maybe the RPM signal wasn't strong enough from #1 coil, and to try #4. I did that and still nothing.
Does anyone have any experience wiring this thing to a vmax?
The temp display works perfect, it turns on fine, the only thing that I can't get to work anymore is the RPM display. It's stock at 0.
I have it set up to 2 cylinders, 1 piston, Hi Accel - it gave me correct RPM readings in the brief time I got it to work. Not sure if COPs have anything to do with it (I don't think so). I rechecked the ground connection and all the connections again last night but still nothing. I even tried every single setting on the stupid gauge but no matter what I do the RPM display just will not work.
Is it possible the gauge was deffective? or am I just wiring it wrong? Electrical is not my strongest area, lol.
Here's the link to what I have.
