Tachometer for 1st Gen SV650 track day bike.
Hi Everyone.
I'm looking to put a tachometer on my track day SV. The reason being: to pass some track day noise tests I'm told you need to hold a certain RPM for the test to be valid. Holding the revs by ear alone is apparently not going to fly.. So, I'm looking for some guidance as to what use equipment would do the job? Specifically would any cylinder 4 stroke tacho work? I'm assuming some will and some won't (cylinder number dependant?). I've removed most of the original wiring but did have the foresight to keep the relevant cables in order to wire a tacho in (assuming the requirements are the same as the original clocks) at a later date. I've sold the old clocks so they're off the table, in any case I'm looking ideally for just a cheap/basic tacho, with no added extras.....Any thoughts? |

Something similar to this might do you,

Re: Tachometer for 1st Gen SV650 track day bike.
I bought one to try and replace mine (which was broken at the time) on my curvy. I couldn't get it to fit, so gave in and bought a genuine replacement in the end.
https://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Produ...n=456&p=659085 I cracked open the case, so it's not waterproof any more, but if I can find it I'm happy to send it you if you want to have a play. |

I find the horizontal 'bar type' rev counter on AL7 pretty easy to read at a glance. I still prefer analogue watches though ( In fact I may be an analogue human in a digital world ).

Re: Tachometer for 1st Gen SV650 track day bike.
Thanks everyone! I just spotted a typo...I was supposed to write "used" equipment not "use" in my post... I was hoping an old unit from ??? bike would do....
Having said that... I hadn't considered a new generic option and your suggestions would work + won't break the bank. Thanks for the offer of the old unit to tinker with daktulos but I'm going to go down the new unit route now I think. All that's left is the old analogue or digital decision I need to wrestle with ...probably old school.. Thanks again for all the help and advice ... case closed! |
