Electric Tach
18 Jun 2016 15:28 - 18 Jun 2016 16:58
What year did Kawasaki start using electric tachs? I returned my new tach for exchange but they sent me a speedo instead. The one they just sent me is wagging again but I'll send the one on the bike and keep this one if it's OK. I'll tell them I want my money back for the tach and buy a electric one to upgrade my old one. I've lost confidence in these aftermarket tachs and speedo's.
Been looking at some on eBay.

I think 1981. the 1000-J1 for example. I checked a number of big Kaws from 1980 & they all had a tachometer cable.

Trick will be the face screws and it goes to 12,000 RPM.

Been thinking of going with gpz750 cams but hate the idea of having to switch out the tach for a electronic one to fit them. Will follow this and interested on seeing how it works out for you and others.

The gauges were going for $415. I won the set for $275 + tax. I thought I was getting a good deal. Would have been better off buying from eBay and putting the internals in my housings. :dry: When they offered to give my money back I should have taken it.

19 Jun 2016 07:14 - 19 Jun 2016 07:15If they give me my money back I'll go with this one. Has some spare parts I can use too and it looks like the screw holes are in the same place as my new face plate.
