As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. 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.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pulses per revolution - GS750E 1981

I have mounted my Asura Multifunction Computer and all works nice, but the RPM counter is a bit off the chart. The wire from the computer is only supposed to be winded around the sparkplug wire. 6 revolutions it says. But still is way off..

So looking at the chart. What should I use? 1 puls per revolution or...

The number of turns your sensor is wound around the plug wire will only determine the strength of the pulse that it provides to the computer.

For speed recognition, you will be looking for one pulse per revolution because our bikes have a "wasted spark" ignition that does not use a distrubutor to send sparks to the appropriate plug.

.
 
Steve is of course absolutely correct. Plugs 1&4 fire at the same time, and plugs 2&3 fire at the same time. But even though each pair fires at the same time, only one of each pair will be on the firing stroke at a time.
 
ok. So I can connect to plug 1 and set it to "One pulse per revolution" and that would be correct?
 
Why not just try em all till they make sense.
They are markedly different so it would be hard to pick the wrong one by trial and error.

And show us some pictures.
 
To plug one, or any one. Many ignitions are on the end of the cam, which spins half of crank speed. These are on the end of the crank, and spin at crank speed. Each plug fires at the compression stroke, and then again at the exhaust stroke.
 
More wire around the sparkplug cable and setting "2 pulses per revolution" did the trick :-)

I guess by revolution, they mean fourstroke "cycle"?
