83 1100ESD Tachometer erratic

[glib]

So remember, no cable for this one. It's electronic. It's stable through about 4 or 5k rpms but keep revving and it blows right through the red line and bounces off the stop. Just wondering if it could be wiring or if it will need to be rebuilt.

Also, in the meantime, is there data somewhere showing the speed at redline in each gear. That would help me know where I am on the tach when accelerating hard.

there are refurb , rebuild, replacement threads in the past.

See near top left side of the page. This is assuming that the 83 ES and the 82 E shared transmission gear ratios... which I don't know for certain.

many have tried, none that I know of have succeeded, at least not for long. I ended up switching to gsxr gauges. As posplayer suggested, a search will turn up a few threads. Good luck, let me know if you find a definitive fix...

Soooo...I found out that my stator is "toast" in another thread and ordered one and got the wrong one, another thread, so I borrowed the stator from my parts bike and it works so I went for a ride today and the tachometer stabilized. It is still not perfect but will give a basically steady reading all the way to redline which is a huge improvement as before it was just wild over 5k. I think it is reading about ten percent higher than it should but maybe once I get the right stator and a compu-fire R/R it will work correctly.
