Howdy again y'all! Well I got a new guage cluster, and I still don't have a working tach. The tach worked on the other guys bike. So does anybody have any suggestions? Maybe somebody could just tell me everything that a tach needs to work? Y'all are always a HUGE help. Thanks in advance!!!

Does the tach work at all? If it doesn't register at all, check the wires. -
Well it doesn't work at all. I've been checking the wires. Where does the tach get it's signal from?
Thanks lhanscom!Comment

Do some of the models not have a twister tach cable?

Mine has one of those cables like the speedo does that connects to some moving part on the engine near the cam chain tensioner.

1981 GS 1000GL
My 1981 GS 1000GL and my son's 1981 GS 650GL are both mechanical tachs. They both run off of a cable which is geared to run off of the exhaust cam.
