I am able to remove the tach assembley from the housing, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the glass off so I can get in there and repair it. I...

    Tachometer studs stripped/sheared

    The studs on my tachometer (the ones that hold it inside the housing, with small acorn nuts) are done. One was sheared off when I bought the bike and the others threads stripped when I was replacing the tach rubber. Are these permanently mounted or could I throw a pair of vice-grips on them or...

    Rubber Tachometer Bulb Holder

    Does anyone know of a source of a replacement for the little, black rubber cover that fits over the light bulb holder in the bottom of the tachometer? This is the small bulb that illuminates the tach dial at night (when the headlight is on). Recently, the rubber dried-out and is...

    New mini tachometer not working

    I got a new mini speedo and tach for my project from partsnmore (which by the way has these for $32 apiece). I got it all hooked up but I'm getting no reading on the tach.

    I'm not going to run a tach. Can I take the worm gear out of the side cover, and put a cap in the top. Does someone make a cap for that?

    Using an inductive timing light for rpm

    I'm playing with my carbs and since I don't have a tachometer on the bike right now, I'm using my timing light to tell me the RPM. I'm assuming since xs650s have a wasted spark that I need to take the RPM it displays and divide them by two to get the proper engine speed?
