    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...

  • 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.

This is rather funny, Sometimes when i drive the tach shows 4000 rpm,and suddenly drops to 2500 rpm and then suddenly raises to 4000 rpm again.But the engine are not drop a single rpm.What can cause this?
GSX 750 es 1983 16valve.
 
Sounds like the tach is getting a little sticky up in the head unit. Try pulling it apart and cleaning it up with some spray carb clean, blow dry the thing and some spray silicone lube should get you back in business...
 
The tach on the 85 750EF I just picked up does the same. It only goes to 4000 and stops. I haven't had time to pull it all apart yet, but I figure there's got to be either a problem with the cable, or the unit is dirty inside. Not a hard fix, do as Dave says.
 
That's an electronic tachometer, they seem to have these problems, at least on the 750s.
Mine always got stuck at around 5,000, then worked correctly above about 7,000.
Someone with some electronic troubleshooting abilities needs to tear one apart and find a fix.
 
Either way mechanical or electronic, there is too much resistance. Check the wires, their connections, and the internals of the tach. Could also be an issue with the printed circuit board and or its' parts.
 
Does the tach measures revs from the coils or from the signal-pickup ?
