    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. 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...

Tach Problems..

Hello, I noticed that when you are driving my bike sometimes the tach does not respond correctly. This seems to be happening at ~6000 rpm to ~7000 rpm. if I accelerate the speedometer keeps increasing while the tach stays the same or wobbles back and fourth, then it seems to correct itself and works fine up to redline (10k). I have a 1985 gs 700E with an electronicly driven tach, and was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this problem?
I guess it is not the end of the world, as you don't really need your tach until you get to redline, but I would like to fix this problem
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Nick
 
Mine does the same thing even with a new cable and chain wax. I'm just gonna change it out with my spare someday.
 
I would figure if I had a tach that operated with a cable I would get some of that, although there is no cable, it is given a electronic reading off the crankshaft... at least i'm 98% sure...
 
I haven't done it personally. There are two capacitors on the speedo circuit board I would assume tach is similar
 
do a search for electronic tach fix and ou will come up with the solution to your problem, though i think i will have to do mine again soon.It has started to act up again.
