If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

Im looking to buy a digital speedometer but so far everyone of them poses an issue.

How are any of these digital speedometers suppose to read the rpms on the gs1100's?
Considering there is a cable that is fed into the tach on the original equipment.

I have a Koso speedometer/tachometer and I connected the tacho input directly to the wire coming out of the hall sensor used for the OEM CDI.

That is probably a very good idea. The pickup will not have near the noise of anything connected to the coils. I wonder why Suzuki never did that? I have some pickup voltage plots somewhere; as I recall there is plenty of signal in the 5v snd above range.

So the hall sensor, which Im not sure exactly what that is, but im assuming it uses some type of pulsed voltage?

This is the gauge i was looking it. I really like the look of it

I wonder why it says "not suitable for electronic ignition"?
What's for sure is that when I connected the Koso device directly to the coils it didn't work...
Another issue is that it comes only with two magnets to feed the speedometer meaning that the speed indication will probably not operate as smoothly as the Koso that comes with 6 magnets.
Small things that would justify the price difference in my view.
