tachometer

Hi this is going to sound a stupid question but eh! I have just got a trail tech vapor speedo. the red and black wires to attach to the ht lead (tachometer) surely the red wraps round the ht lead and the black to ground surely? this is not what i am reading in the download version of the manual...

Hi there, I don't know if someone have encountered this kind of situation. I have an '89 TA with this type of clocks: Had a small crash and I changed the clocks with the ones from an '88 model, this one here: The thing is that the tachometer isn't working. Is it because it's damaged? - that...

I have an issue with my 92 Dommie cutting out after about 15 minutes riding, and is signalled this is going to happen by the tachy dropping to zero momentarily as the "missing" starts. What I'd like to know is where abouts in the electrical system is the signal for the tachy derived? At the...

Hey all, I have found fault with my tachometer, 2 components are burned, one is easy to change and have an extra, the other is something of a problem because it is burned, and when it does change the colors on the so you can not see what it really should be, one can not match up to it because...

I'm new to this forum, so please bear with me if this problem has been debated before. I recently bought a '94 AT with a couple of problems included at no extra cost. At low rpm, the engine runs roughly and seems to misfire or "choke", but when the engine revs up, the bike suddenly jerks...

Hi, I just bought myself an Africa Twin. It is a beautiful bike to ride, but sadly, there is a problem with my tachometer, when I rev the engine, the tacho only goes up to 1.2k RPM before it gets stuck there. What seems to be the problem? Here are some pictures of my Africa Twin, right now...

...hum. After days of stripping the bike, draining, cleaning, replacing blah, blah, blah I'm almost ready for the MoT tomorrow. Trouble is, the Tachometer has stopped working. Before I spend the rest of the evening / early hours trying to rectify the problem, I was wondering if the tacho...

I searched the forums for an answer to my problem but I wasn't able to find anything, so I'll post here. Bike is a 1988 Transalp (XL600V-J) Italian model. In the last couple of weeks my tacho has become a bit lazy. When I fire the bike up from cold (it starts almost immediately) the tacho stays...

Hi all. Just went on hols to french/swiss alps, regulator failed on the way down. The bulbs blew and battery chucked all its water out, the Tacho stopped all of a sudden and 2 mins later the bike stopped running. Got down to top of the alps during daylight whilst topping up the battery 3...
