ZXR400 Rev counter wiring anyone??

[Toonleigh09]

Hi, I am converting me road bike into a track bike and just about finished. I have bought a zxr400 set of clocks and want to use the Rev counter on me bike. I understand you require a live, ground and coil signal. I have tried using the coloured cables that would normally go into the rear of the SV clocks. I have tried using the orange (positive), black/yellow (coil?) and black/white (Earth?? 2 cables)?

Anyone know if this is correct? I have a multimeter, what would be the easiest way to check each cable is correct.

I have created an album with a few photos of the conversion if they can be accessed

Cheers Leigh

Sorry think I have sussed it, should have checked the wiring diagram first. Shouldn’t be orange it should have been red. Will try tomorrow, ��

Can't help with the wiring, but just want to ask... Why use a ZXR400 rev counter, whats wrong with using the stock SV one?

Unfortunately just too big to fit inside the race fairings. I also asked a similar question to someone else before trying and they also said they didn’t want to see how fast they were going ��

Not sure if this is a problem or it helps but ... I had a scitsu rev counter for my BSA single race bike a while back and couldn't get it to work properly, turned out it was because it was calibrated for a twin... not a single! So didn't pick up the pulses as it should have done. As said ... not sure if this might have something to do with your problem being a 4 cylinder tacho on a twin!?
