    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Tachometer troubles

Hey guys. My tach started acting up the other day. When I was riding it would be a little twitchy and it would swing up and down in the general rpm range rather than it's usual steady(ish) pointing self. It stopped and I forgot about it it. Today it started making some weird noise sometimes while I was driving. It was kind of a whirring whining noise. Sometimes it would be going and I would go to shift and when I let go of the clutch it would stop making the noise. Sometimes it would stop when I shifted but before I let the clutch out. Sometimes it stopped by itself. Any thoughts?
 
Hi,

It needs a new cable, cleaning, or both. Check the cable. Lube or replace if necessary. Spray your favorite lubricant (WD40, silicon contact cleaner, whatever) up in the cable hole of the gauge. Or take the gauge off, turn it upside down, and spray in the hole. Be careful not to spray so much that you mess up the gauge face. Sometimes the gauges have to be disassembled to clean properly.

There are literally thousands of posts on this subject. The search function will give you more than enough information.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
I had the same issue and the problem came from the cable drive that for some reason got disengaged from the tacho side?
