I found one at last

Ive been looking for a tacho for my fighter for years, there all too expensive or cable type.

I have at last found the perfect solution, it has a built in battery and a built in run timer to tell you how many hours your engine has run for.

They have 2 wires, one wraps around a coil lead the other goes to earth how easy is that.

Bargain.

Hey Joe.

Looks a good bit of kit that..

Is it tacho accurate when its running.. I have used a couple of aftermarket tachos and found em to be behind or the figures dance all over the place even at tickover..

I got it today and fitted it, very easy to fit just one wire and you wrap the end around any coil lead 3 or 4 times.

The lcd is second or so behind but works well for tickover adjustment and on the road but it seems a little lazy on top revs. But for 11 quid its a good deal.

A couple of sticky pads and cable ties later.

Looks ok, looking for one for my DRZ. Could do with something, there no tacho on the thumper.
