    options for tach

    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?

          Positive terminal of the coil = low tension.

            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
