Ok, before I look into replacing the instrument cluster on my '83 GS750es, does anyone have a few trouble shooting suggestions that I could try that might help me fix the tachometer on my bike? :confused:

FWIW I bought the bike early last winter so I have never seen the tach actually work, so it's anyones guess as to how long it's been since it last worked. Finally fired it up last weekend and that's when I noticed it.

Downloaded the PDF manual off of BassCliff's web site (THANKS!!!) but I'm still at as lost as to why it's not responding.

Thanks.
 
i haven't heard from nater in a while. he made me a board, but it did not work. you can find the thread. i haven't bothered him about it in a while, i will shoot him a pm and see what is up. I have decided to replace mine with gsxr guages, others have gone with acewell or dime city units. some have replaced capacitors, resistors and the like to achieve....questionable results, it seems. if you figure it out, send me one!

edit, rusty gave the link! nice.

Hmmm, so will a next gen instrument panel "bolt on" to a '83 GS750/'84-'85 GS700?? Like say ... a unit off of a '88 GSX750?
 
i'm fabricating a bracket for it. you need a model with an e-tach and a mechanical speedo.

here is one thread on aftermarket gauges:
http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/showthread.php?t=202935

there are quite a few more out there. imo, the gxr gauges look the best, i like an analog dial over a digital display anytime. anything you do is going to require some massaging to get to work.

i'll post some pics of mine when it is done, waiting on some electrical bits and i need to get the bracket fabbed.
