Let me ask the common collective this… IS there a way, to hook up a tach this style WITHOUT having a battery?? I do not want to put a battery on my mini bike… but I want one of these style tachs. Is there anyway to utilize the coil for the hot side of the tach??

after testing the instructions i found that the tach is actually supposed to wire to the + side of the coil or it just grounds the sensor wire out making it not work, if the rest of the instructions are followed it will work wired mine into the gauge cluster ground wire and main hot wire on my ignition, seems to work perfectly

@philwarner66046 ай бұрын
I am trying to add a digital tach to my 89 Yamaha TW200 but the coil has one positive connection from the CDI and it is grounded on the negative side. connecting the sensor wire to the positive coil wire does not make it work nor does connecting the sensor wire to one wrapped around the spark plug wire like an induction tachometer. Is there a place on the CDI unit or the stator wiring that is safe to connect the signal wire? One that will trigger the digital tachometer? And by digital I mean a number display and not an analog swinging needle.

Hi, great video. I tried to install same tachometer on my yamaha bolt. Somehow i screwed up. I connected both pozitives (+) together to coil positive. And i connected both negatives also together to frame. Lights are on but tacho is not working, doesn't move at all. Do you think putting all positives and negatives together causes the problem? Or tachometer is broken maybe.
