Tachometer Install on the 2019 Honda Monkey with 3D Printed Mount

[@raylyndaschilke8686]

Very cool. Got the same Monkey yesterday and after 30 miles am looking to upgrade things already. I was a poor kid so couldn't get one as a kid but can be a kid now at 58 years old.

Looks great - I like the initial test sweep of the needle.

[@zachsiebers5742]

Keep up the videos. This is one of best mods yet.

[@edgar180]

Amazing work. I want a tacho on my monkey but I have no where near the right diy skills so this is even more impressive :-)

[@carstenraabe5345]

It would be very helpful if you had the most important part of the video lit up properly so that we all could see exactly where the ignition coil connection was. Otherwise it was a most informative and interesting video. Keep up posting as all of them are top noch..five stars

[@grindsbo]

Nice work with the 3d printer 😀

[@dennisbager8757]

So Nice. Will the bracket fit on a dax st125 my 2023?

[@SandStormPower]

Dax owner here. I believe it will, since they're so similar (if not the same) in that part

[@robe8306]

Really love the tachometer design you built. Sure would be nice if I could purchase one of those brackets from you. Didn't know if that'd be possible or not? I already purchased the same tachometer. Nice job.

[@bfarm44]

Exactly what I was looking for thank you

[@ka1mla1]

Did you somehow find and install a digital clock in the center of the handlebar? If so, any details?

[@eastcoastish]

Yep, Koso Mini 3 gauge - I talk about it briefly here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHrRpmp7ftRqi9U

[@drummerjosh1984]

That's one thing I've really wanted, a clock! I thought I was the only one

[@motorcycleguy73]

Great video

[@amreshsc1024]

Will this work for single cylinder motorcycles? If yes where can I get one from?

[@eastcoastish]

Yes, this Honda Monkey is a single cylinder motorcycle. I believe this gauge was from eBay.

[@stevelewis7207]

VERY impressive sir. Where did you obtain the tacho itself or did I miss it. You deserve way more subs 👍

[@eastcoastish]

Thanks for the compliment! I bought the tach on eBay: www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-2-Inch-52mm-Tachometer-Tach-RPM-Gauge-Digital-7-Color-LED-Display-Car/173794202780 I am looking for another one though since I've realized 8k is below the actual redline - it feels like there's another ~1k before i hit the rev limiter, so looking for another 52mm tach (that supports 1 cylinder) that goes up to 10k like this one: www.ebay.com/itm/52mm-GlowShift-Smoked-Lens-Tacho-Tachometer-Gauge-Kit-w-7-Color-LED-Illumination/372547525810 I'll post an update when I get a new tach in.

I tried to install a generic analog tachometer to a Monkey 125 2018. I combind long black (backlighting negative) wire to green (meter negative) and hooked it to frame ground. Short black (positive meter) was combined with long red (positive backlighting) and connected that to monkey's black-yellow wire. Tried signal from both of the coil sockets buts neither one gave a reading, only backlight lit up. Should I just connect signal to spark plug?

[@eastcoastish]

The pulse signal should come from the coil plug with a green plastic piece around it (it's the one closest to the side of the bike). Are you sure your tachometer supports 1 cylinder and if so, is it selected to the 1 cylinder mode?

@@eastcoastish www.amazon.com/Backlight-Motorcycle-Tachometer-Counter-0-13000/dp/B01EOF81O8 my meter is the same on like this, except it is chrome in color. Yes, I tried the green one (top) first and then the lower one. But there was one issue: the wire connected to green black, had bad connection but I temporary fixed it by bending the connector and managed to gain backlighting, so I figured that maybe the meter knob should work too but no...I know it's a cheap meter, so welll...but thank you for your help so far!

[@davidanderson1854]

Hi there. What brand and we’re did you buy this item

[@eastcoastish]

The one on this video was an ebay find. I've since switched to a Glowshift model with a 10k Rev limit www.amazon.com/GlowShift-Elite-Color-Tachometer-Gauge/dp/B007TLCP7Y

[@spencerhancock7927]

Do you have the 3D printed mount on file? Really wanting to do this soon

[@eastcoastish]

Yes, you can download here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3561705

[@marioreyna4449]

Model and brand of that tachometer? please...looks greate, thanks.

[@richardguay3474]

Can the speedo be converted from mph to kmh ?? thanks

[@eastcoastish]

Check out page 20 here: cdn.powersports.honda.com/documentum/MWOM/ml.remawmom.2019_31k0fa0_monkey125.pdf 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. 2. Press and hold SEL button and SET button. 3. Press SEL button to select either Km/h or mph

[@superquax1]

Great😃👍🏽 is 8000rpm enough?

[@eastcoastish]

It's not, I've updated with a tach that goes to 10k: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHrRpmp7ftRqi9U

[@ronnierabell1]

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I'm pretty sure that single piston 125cc engine wont get even close to 8000 rpms

[@drummerjosh1984]

@@ronnierabell1 i dunno man I think it will..

[@dax-tobi]

Nice!

[@tizianoboniforti2710]

Vero usefull.. Greta usefull....

[@ronnierabell1]

For a 125 cc bike you added a tachometer 🤦‍♂️ that's just ridiculous

[@eastcoastish]

Ha, if you thought that was ridiculous, you need to catch up on this build series. It's now a cammed, 143cc bike with full fuel management, tach, temp and afr gauge :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipqWd2pvjZKNgtk

[@bigmick1062]

Why is that ridiculious? I think it is a great idea so you don't have to rely on the rev-limiter and over-rev this little engine. You can watch just how far you push it. Besides it's cheap enough, why not. I'll be adding one to my Monkey ASAP.

[@drummerjosh1984]

I say whatever interests you, or if you find it useful. Why not?

[@markwegner6100]

Nice!
