    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'm thinking of bidding on a set of guages on ebay. The speedo is mechanical but the tach is electronic. They are all Suzuki parts. Can the tach be made to work on my 80 1100?

Probably. I think the issue is where the signal comes from. You can adapt anything to work. What's it off of? It may not be plug and play, but it shouldn't be that tough. The notion of ditching some of those cables is pretty attractive. It would really tie the bike together.
 
If the tach is off a 4 cyl bike you can just pick up the signal from the coil low tension wires :)
 
Yeh, they are off a 600 Bandit. Tone, explain please. So I just connect it to the low tension coil wire. Which one is that?

Nastyjones
 
Hello nastyjones you will have one wire which feeds both coils + this is the low tension wire you can pickup the signal from that to the tacho

The tacho from a b6 has 3 wires the black with white trace being the earth which you need to ground out, one of the others is the signal wire (probably the orange)

Sorry if thats a little vague but its been a few years since i did it & the old memory is not what it was :oops:
