tachometer

since Occam's razor seems a little dull these days I feel the need to ask yet another question with what is probably an obvious answer. My tach has not worked since I reassembled Johnny 5 which had suffered an electrical meltdown. Replaced were stator, reg/rec, tci box with a new dyna, new oem...

Thinking about buying one of the cheap tachometer/speedometers ebay but concerned on the accuracy of both readings. I know at lesat a couple of people here are running them, care to comment ?

Today I was out riding, and for kicks, I decided to floor it hard. And when I looked down at the tach, the blooding thing was already at 11k! O_O Question is, how far is the tach off, and if the tach reads 11k, what was I likely turning for RPMs?

Read through threads relating to the Gen1 tachometer and identified possible problems. Recognise the standard location leaves something to be desired, but not the problem at present, and it works, so believe connections are good. However, on one of those very rare occasions I might have...

Just got a 1986 and the tach lights up but does not work. Am told by a local expert that this means the tach needs replacement. suspect a new one would be prohibitively expensive. If you have one and would like to sell it, let me know.

I have noticed when i start up my bike cold that the tach takes about 10 seconds to move what can this be ? once its warmed up its fine and works normal.

Hi guys I have been experiencing some fluctuations on my tachometer. Im steady at speed and throttle and usually my tachometer has fluctuations of 500 and sometimes even 1000 RPMs. I also have a small fluctuation on the tempereature needle but that is fairly smal but it moves up and down as...

Ok, so my daughters boyfriend picked up his 98 max tonight, and we started tinkering with the "issues" that it has. One of them is that the tach is dead. I checked the wires at the back, 2 of them have power ( brown and can't remember the other), and the grey wire is obviously a signal wire...

Hi all: I'm currently installing a Virago tachometer on my Max, and I got no result from wiring directly onto the the signal receiver on the stock tach. So, my question is this: What should I splice the Virago wire into to receive a strong enough pulse to make it "work"? (Please note that...

I've had my Max for a few months now and already the location of the tach bothers me. I'd like to have something up near the speedo but nothing too big. Any suggestions?

What are the options on this plastic cover? Does anyone chrome them? Or are my two choices paint or carbon fiber? Thanks

I'm having a minor problem with the tachometer reading incorrectly on my 1988 V-Max with 56k on it. I just bought it this week so I don't know a ton about it yet. The tach reads about 1500 idling and about 7k going 70, so its obviously way off. I don't have a ton of time to work on the bike this...

After trying to sort this out bike is now in the shop and they cant seem to find the problem . all other lights work on the panel and he has done a vault test on the wires reading just over 12 a , the pulse wire as well , he seems to think it may be the voltage requlater/rectifier - how do i...
