Guide on how to install a universal LCD motorcycle speedmeter/tachometer on a Yamaha XJR400. This should also apply for many other Yamaha bikes of the same era as they use they same wiring harness colour code.

Thank you from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@01Michaell]

Thanks for the video, i did a lot on my own. Like stripping all the cables😢. But the video make it a lot easier. Greets from Amsterdam.

[@nerijussaltys739]

Very helpful video😁 Thanks a lot !!!👌Apreciate your efforts🙏

[@MaxHardcoreSporty]

Where to connect the wire from to show the transmission speed, because there is only a neutral transmission to the terminal on the diagram?

[@TeacherPauloPontes]

Very helpful thanks! I own a suzuki gn250, had to program my menu 1 to c-0469 to get it to right speed count. I guess it does change from bike to bike. Cheers!

[@tomo2242]

How is it going? Thinking of getting one for my gn250

Hey. Thinking of getting one for my 1982 Suzuki gs400xf. Can you help me?

[@dizzle807]

Have a 2013 Yamaha ybr can u please help me with the wiring diagram to this speedometer can't get the fuel guage and the tachometer to work everything else works ok

[@Dimi3sX]

Great review! I am trying to install this on my tracer 700, (original was stolen.) I connected everything fine except for rpm signal, have any idea where exactly ? Tracer has stick coils ,I tried on pos and neg to coils and crank pos sensor but nothing happened...

[@pullumoto]

The wire should connect to ecu rpm signal not coils or crank pos, I searched a bit and it looks like on newer Yamaha's rpm signal wire is just yellow instead of yellow/black if it helps

[@j0rss]

thank you for this, I have no manual for setting it up otherwise lol

[@pullumoto]

I was in the same situation so glad I could help :)

[@melashkov]

Hey, a bit confused. I do have 2x 6 pin connectors on my bike. Xjr400. Did you modify you 9 pin to be 6 pin to match the bike

[@melashkov]

Self answered , older model before 95 has 2x 6 pin connectors and younger models have 9 and 6 pin.

[@pullumoto]

I'm sure I had a 9 pin plug already on the bike and mine was an older model it was a 95

[@HARLEYDX1]

hi bro.. do u hv something write down on the xjr400 wiring ? not clear in your video..thanks

[@espenroed4984]

Helpful, thanks. I have a similar speedometer, just a bit different. The settings on wheel circumference maxes out at 199 on mine, a little problem since I have 21 inch front wheel where the circumference is about 220. Was wondering about this speedometer, does it go above 199 in the settings ? Do you have any chance to check it ? If so I would very much appreciate it, as it would let me know that I could buy this type you have and it would work. But no point buying another speedo that stops at 199. Thanks Best, Espen

[@pullumoto]

unfortunately I do not have the bike anymore to check, but what I would suggest is maybe use less magnets for the speedo and calibrate using gps speedo from your phone

[@espenroed4984]

Yes, thanks for answering, I will try that :)

[@ghandzior]

Hello, everything is clear but how to connect the revmeter? Which cable is dedicated for revs?

[@pullumoto]

It should be the yellow/black on both sides

[@UffeKirkegaard94]

Hi, Do you know how to go into settings and set the total KM for the Bike? Is this possible? Best regards Uffe (BMW k100 owner)

[@pullumoto]

If I remember correctly you should hold the back button for around 3 seconds while the ignition is on already and while you are showing the total miles not the trip meter or else it will reset that

[@naponongmaithem5767]

Hey i brought the same one and i dont find rpm wire

[@zachzat1581]

How do you get the gas gauge to work when your gas sensor has 2 wires ?

[@pullumoto]

1 wire(green) for signal and 1 ground(black). If I remember correctly you can just remove the green wire from the plug to connect it in the new 9 pin connector and leave the ground connected normally in the original plug. Else you can connect it to any other ground

[@zachzat1581]

@@pullumoto thank you man does the ground wire have to be connected to the wiring or can it just be grounded out to the frame or engine?

[@pullumoto]

i spliced it into another wire

[@voicelatz7738]

I bought also same item.but mine is not working.although i connected it to the power supply

[@pullumoto]

Did you try it with an external battery or a 12v source first (not on bike) to check the unit works?

[@clutchrider5009]

hello sir why my universal speedometer is moistureng inside the lens after washing it

[@pullumoto]

I would not spray water directly on these things(except for rain), even though they look well built I'm sure they don't have the best waterproofing

[@pablovaldes1992]

Will this work with a 1982 Yamaha xj650?

[@pullumoto]

Yes it should as long as the wire color coding is the same

[@chrisjones5352]

@@pullumoto did the bracket come with the gauge or you had too buy it

[@pullumoto]

​@@chrisjones5352 During the time of this video I fitted 2 straight steel brackets which you can find in any hardware shop until the proper bracket for this speedometer arrived (ordered from aliexpress)

[@cooldudeinc5110]

I connected it man but my Speedo wont turn off even tho my harley is off

[@pullumoto]

Harley's mostly likely have a different colour wiring harness, so you will need to convert the colours I said to to your specific bike

[@Handsom3Joe]

You probably swapped the permanent+12 with the +12 downstream the key switch

[@pmacc3557]

will this work on sr 500 kickstarter bike?

[@pullumoto]

I don't think there should be any issues as it should have similar wiring

[@jrjavier338]

Hello sir, I cannot go to calibration menu. Can you help me?

[@pullumoto]

you need to press the button on the back side for at least 5 seconds to access the menu

[@jrjavier338]

@@pullumoto Mine has a PIN. I think I have a different model

[@AlgoMedicine]

How you select the position of magnet for speed

[@pullumoto]

The position of the magnet doesn't make a difference as long as it is in close range of the sensor

[@prawny12009]

From what I can tell a lot of these Speedo ask for circumference of the wheel and number of magnets/pickup triggers. If you only have one magnet it will calculate speed based on wheel rpm and the circumference, if you have two or will count two pulses per Revolution etc etc. The more triggers the more accurate/consistent the Speedo at slow wheel rpm.

[@Handsom3Joe]

Nowadays it's sold at almost 50 euros! Crazy...

[@pullumoto]

Haven't noticed the price increase until I read this comment. It's crazy how much prices went up

[@GamePlanet204]

hi, nice video very helpful! , i have a question, where do i connect the wire for the engine revs? the one coming from the coil

[@pullumoto]

If I remember correctly its yellow/black from the tacho and connects to yellow/black on the bike they are the same color wire(9pin connector)

@@pullumoto when you are about to meter for the speedometer. The wheel circumference

[@pullumoto]

The first 2 numbers should be the wheel size(17 inch in my case), the last 2 numbers I set them up by going to an empty parking lot and adjust settings by comparing the speedometer to a phone GPS speedometer app.

@@pullumoto can you explain this more? What exactly are the last 2 numbers representing?
