    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 have a 160mph speedo and tach from a yamaha. I didnt look to see which one it was. It was an older inline 4 cylinder. I was wondering if it would work on a gs650?

As long as the cable fits why not?
 
I didnt know if yamaha had different ratio than a suzuki. I know it will fit and can be wired up to work. I was worried about speed being off.
 
All older metric bikes have the same speedo ratio of 2240:60 or whatever it is. You'll be good.

What determined the gear ratio is on the wheel. They differed on the size of the tire.
 
did the same swap some years ago, never got a speeding ticket...
I think you will be ok...
 
Thanks I will give it a try. Its got a 4into1 header going to grab it to. Maybe the carbs.
