    As far as I know, the ratio should be the same. Suzuki was really good about using the same parts across many different bikes.

    Also, a tach measures RPM. As long as the input shaft is turning, it should measure properly.

      I believe the gearing for all GS tachometers is the same.

        I am reasonably certain that it is one to one.






        Let me check.






        One tach, one bike.





        Yep, it's one to one. :shock:
