Diagram I ordered this tachometer and got the color diagram for it, I am posting it here, hope u find it helpful Black,purple - rpm Black- live from key ignition Light blue- right side signal Dark blue-high light White yellow- neutral Orange- left side signal Brown- running light Red- direct from bat Black white-speed Purple- connect to sensor directly Light green- gear 1 Light green brown - gear 2 Light green green - gear 3 Light green yellow - gear 4 Light green black - gear 5 Light green blue - gear 6 Green black - grounding Green black - grounding Blue white - fuel level Found your video much helpful . Thanks for posting this !!
there is 2 of them that are the same but they used different color for the wire i got the one with the wrong color but i look at pic and was amble to fine what color did what by the placement for the one i have the rpm color is blue and weight and my fuel level is yellow and black
Barry Ziza thanks so much for that. Tried connecting red to battery and it goes off. Got a black/white which I think is the ground on my bike. Does that go to the green/black on the plug? Been a total nightmare lol
Thanks again for the help. I thought I would share my experience installing on my 1984 Honda Magna V65. For the tach, I followed your advice and wired into the blue wire of the pulse generator, but I programmed the speedometer for 2 cylinders instead of my 4. My MPH reading is more accurate by just programming a higher number for the circumference /number of magnets. I'm using 818 and it's much more accurate. Thanks again
Thanks again for the video. Here's my experience with my 1984 Honda Magna V65.... My MPH setting is more accurate by playing with the numbers, rather than following the instructions. I programmed in 818, much better than diameter / the 3 magnets that I'm using. Also, I set it for 2 cylinders instead of my 4, and followed your advice and wired into the blue wire of the pulse generator. Thanks again
FUEL GAUGE Some of the posts on this and other videos state that grounding the fuel gauge wire (blue and white) will cause the fuel gauge to stop flashing. With my ones (3 of them) this was not the case. I have found that you need to ground it via a resistance of between 30 to 500 ohm. Anything more or less wont have any effect. 500ohm displays 1 bar (of 8) i.e. almost empty. 30ohm displays 8 bars (full). (about 330ohm is half full etc.) So if grounding the fuel wire doesn't work for you, try grounding it through a resistor between 30 and 500 ohms.
Podłączałem ten licznik w quadzie atv, czerwony przewód to + stały z akumulatora do podtrzymania pamięci, czarny przewód to + po zapłonie, zielony przewód to masa. Obrotomierz ( żółto-czarny) podłączamy do przewodu impulsatora, którego możemy znaleźć w module cdi. W zestawie była blaszka do przykręcenia czujnika prędkości, przykręciłem tą blaszke do śrubki od zacisku hamulcowego, 3 magnesiki rozmieściłem od wewnętrznej części felgi na całym obwodzie felgi.
Just a quick question, do you know if the Acewell digital conversion speedo cables would work with one of these so you can get away from mounting all the stuff on the wheel/caliper?
Nice vid, for wiring the the indicators on the gauge, should I follow the wire diagram for my bike, to where I need to splice the ground and power or do I just connect it straight since the gauge has its on power and ground?
I have some doubts DRugfree1987 - The tacho/speedo I got, has a very short rpm cable. Can I use some other cable to link it and then wrap it around the spark plug cable? 2nd - Is there a way to change the firing cycle? .5, 1 or 2? like 1 pulse per 2 revs, 1 pulse every rev (wasted spark) ... that way. Is there a way to change it?
I managed to get gears indicator to work. Used a GPS gear position sensor for next model and soldered wire to it. Also fuel did not initially work with only geound bu after I used condensr of 100 nFarad and 15 Koms resistor. Indicator set do 3 in menu 4
hi. I have a '75 CB360. The neutral light is not on the dial, it's on the middle panel. As far as the visual, can you see the N when not in use, or it is it pretty camelflaged when not lit? Also, the odometer being replaced only has two wires going out. I like that low batt feature on yours. Will that speedo pickup on that automatically, or is it a separate lead? thx!
I'm wondering if you have the wiring colour coding figured out? I have the same gage and I have an older which has a pink wire and no purple wires. Any wiring help would be greatly appreciated
Hi DRugfree1987! Great video, I found the same speedo and want to mount it on a Honda CM400. May I ask you what tires you have on your bike? I'm absolutely in love with them, but can't find brand and model to see if I can buy them for my CM400. Thanks!
Hi guys, I just purchased this speedo and my only concern is the wiring for the gear indicator, it mentions that N, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are "NEGATIVE GEAR CONNECTION", so I assume it must ground to activate that gear number, but my motorcycle (Vento Tornado 250cc) only sends ground on N while all others are voltage... do I need to build relay fixes for each wire or does this device work with this configuration? Thanks in advance
ive got the same clock but cant get the gears to show. i connected the wires up from my old clock put them to my new one but wont work any advice cheers
Hi! I installed this speedo and everything seems working fine, but when the motorcycle start runing the only thing visible in this speedo is the neutral position. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Thanks
Hey everyone, Just bought the same speedometer but are having problems with installing it. Headlight and turnsignals works fine on the display but there is no light on the display (its totally dark). It is connected directly to the battery. Any suggestions?
Hi all, looking into this speedometer for my cafe racer. Love how it looks and works on the video. What’s your recommendations after installing it? Does it work properly?
Wow brother! I had a 85 cb750 I bobbed out turned out into a nice bike... but your! Beautiful man just beautiful! I just picked up this speedo for the newest project a 95 zx7r. My pig tails for this speedo and the ones on my bike are the same ones lmao as in both are male ends however the ones on my speedo are female so I'm just gonna switch them
DRugfree1987 Hi Mate, i am connecting same unit onto my gl650 honda. I've noticed that your shift position says 6 while mine is 0. I havent connected any whites and my bike isn't meant to have shift position sensor. So i thought if I but a universal one from ebay, would it work. Basically, im wondering how you made gear indicator to work? kr pasha
Mine did not work as well on fuel. I had to go to the main menu and selected setting 1 to 5. As soon as did hold for the next 5 secs after setting number 5, the speedometer restarted and the fuel reading was working ok. The tricky part is to get it reboot i guess after setting number 5. Its reading full because the resistance or the resistance range is too off. You need to get a multi meter and set it to Ohms (AUTO), and make sure it reads 8 Ohms when empty and 98 when full. This is the fuel sender Ohm range for this speedometer as per the poor manual. Not sure but I guess you can mode the end points of your bikes gauge with resistors to be in the range of this speedometer requirements or else there is a way to to program it maybe to accept different ranges? I am using this speedometer for my personal project and my fuel sender reads around 40+ Ohms when empty and 220+ Ohms when full so i will try to make it to be in the range of 8 to 98 Ohms. If I manage to do it then I will share here. Connections/wiring for those who cant get it right: For the two wires of the sender unit from the tank, ground one of them and the other connect it to blue-white (signal wire) of the speedometer. That's it.
Update: I quickly checked and realized that i have a trim port (tiny variable resistor) , bridged it between the signal line from the speedometer and that of the sender unit and i was able to trim one side that makes sense and that is the empty side. Pushing the sender to the full position would indicate half on the fuel gauge. At least this way you can know half full indication means full and empty means almost to zero or zero it self.
Saeed Al Habsi thanks for sharing that. Have you tried to get the same resistance required at the manual by using one or more resistors in line with the fuel sensor?
I have installed this on my single cylinder motorbike but accidently i pressed in setting and now i have only two options 2 & 4, how to get back to 1? Is there any full reset option?
That's for the Video, i'll buy that one. It seems quite good for the money. I did not know how the Tachometer is connected. Are you still satisfied so far? Will the settings be cleared if the battery is disconnected?
I have an 84 VT700 (Shadow). I'm tempted to cut down and run without a dash at all, but perhaps you can help me out a little. Did you connect diodes between every dash indicator light (turn, oil pressure, neut., etc)? I have the colored wire that matches up fine with the wiring diagram in the speedo, but there is also what seems like a negative for every colored wire. Neutral light for example has a G/R but there is also a Br/B on the original wire diagram but there is nowhere to put the Br/B. Do I need a diode between the two or how exactly do I wire it up?
Oops and there blz? Man, I'm assembling this panel on a Moby and I'm having trouble getting the rpm to work, when I turn on pin 9, which is the rpm signal wire to the positive of the cdi, it doesn't work, but if I disconnect the CDI wire but leave it connected the coil only on the panel, when I pull the string to make contact the pointer moves, but if I connect it (coil wire and panel) to the cdi the pointer does not move. Can you help me? The cdi is grounded on the board and the panel is connected to the battery negative, if I ground the battery negative on the Moby board of the short, I don't know if it has to do with the non-functioning with the negative of the panel n being grounded TB in the board as the one from the cdi. Can you help me?
hello I bought it. but I have a problem I can not put the engine speed, it works everything else belonging tours ... I have a transal XL600 ... how can I solve my problem? thank you
mine rpm 'die off' after working for 2 weeks only and the rpm also doesnt accurate(1cyl engine)..about the speedo have you guys get the presice speed?mine not...even i put 4 magnet for also the same..speed doesnt accurate..😥
so I figured out how to change the 3 digit tire/ wheel size and save it on the menu. The problem is is that all other universal speedometers I have seen have a 4 digit tire diameter code in millimeters. This gauge as you know has only 3 digits. I think it's 50-999. What measurement is this supposed to be? What did you enter based on your wheel dimensions?
hello i hawe a problem my rpm meter dont show a right when its working , its shows to mach ,when its works wery minimal its show 4000 rpm , can you tell me how to set number of cilinders 2 , ? i think now its standing to 4
Hi just wanna ask how did you make the battery indicator work? What wires did you connect it too?, Because mine is not working. When turning the key on it won't lit up with the rest of the speedometer..
Hey maybe you could help me out or someone in the comments with a nighthawk 550 or 650, so I have the speedo wired up and everything works on the speedo, the only problem I am having is that when I turn the bike it turns on and runs for a little but then turns off, after it turns off it doesn’t turn back on. I’m not sure what it is, I grounded all the ground wires but I left the black and striped brown wires lose, I found that they were positive wires but I have no idea where they go. So my question really is what are the black and brown positive wires on your bike and where did you connect them to?
I installed the digital speedometer on a 78 honda hawk CB400 but the coundn't manage to get the rpm working. How can I get it working since this kinda old bike rpm usually works with a cable? I'll appreciate if some one can help.
The RPM should be connected directly to the pickup coil (eg the wire between the coil and the spark unit) if you have that. fixed mine today and it is steady and fine. Can't say if it is the same if you have points. Good luck
+DRugfree1987 Have you seen the video and did it help? I have moved on to the next task, getting the ODO to show same mileage as the old gauge, I know! a bit exaggerative but I found a pulsgenerator for under 8$ that's working so the gauge is "driving" at 180 km/h during the nights to get the ODO up to 25000 km. After that I will try to get the gear indicator working by using a universal GID that's using RPM and speed to calculate the gear (needs to be programmed to the actual bike) and then using that signal to show right gear in the gauge.
+jamtJrus I did not get a chance to try it out since I getting my other bike ready for a upcoming trip. but once I get back I will definitely try it. sounds very hopeful. I will be jumping for joy if it really works.
Hey DRugfree, can u say me Pinouts from the Kabel (red,yellow,blue, ..... ) ? I got the same Speedometer but i dont know the pinouts witch colur is witch siganl .... This would be awesome ! Best wishes Tim Braunbarth
Helpful vid, what did you put in for the speedo numbers, the info I have seen says the circumference of the tyre, in my case 120/70 17 is approx 1860mm but you can only put in 3 numbers! Do you have to put in the amount of magnet pickups? The oil sensor is the fuel sensor 1=100 Ohms and 5=500 Ohms depending on the sender you have in the tank.
+DRugfree1987 But then 777 is way off from 1860 how have you got to this number? I could do with understanding this, where have you fitted your magnets, how far are they away from the spindle?
+The Alchemist The wheel circumference divided by number of magnets, if you have 1 meter circumference and two magnets you have 1000mm / 2 = 500mm. I have 5 magnets on mine so for me the same circumference would be divided in 5 = 200mm
Tire diameter. A good way to do it is, put a tape measure on the ground. Then line up the valve stem with the beginning of the tape roll your bike till you get to the stem again. Then convert the reading to mm
Hey bro, love the video and glad I was able to find it. I have this exact speedo and I am trying to get the power to work. I have run the same wire that ran to my stock speedo backlight but it still does nothing. I wondered how you ran your power to the speedo so I could copy your technique. Also, I bought another electronic converting speedo cable from Dime City Cycles and I wondered if you knew if that would work. Anything helps man, I really appreciate it.
you have to wire up the memory wire and power wire to the positive of the battery and then the neutral wire to ground. that will be the bare minimum to turn it on. and I'm not familiar with stuff from dime city. but the speedo that comes with the guage should work fine
What do you mean memory wire? I only ask because in the very limited manual that shipped with it, it has no wire that is marked as anythign to do with memory. I have my turn signals and headlight/bright light indicator working, but no power anywhere else. Also, if I am going to use the speedo cable that went with it, how did you hook yours up?
it's a wire that goes starlight to the battery. so that it can save the settings. I think mine was red. but I know that they changed somethings around from the first batch that came out. so yours might be different.
I’m a bit late to the party on this one. However, I am hoping to confirm that these external speedometers not only come with display units but also are supplied with the necessary equipment to calculate the speed of the bike i.e. magnets that attach to the wheel and the fork to work out the speed? Also, does anyone know if these are road legal in the UK? Thanks
Hi, I'm bought this speedometer for my yamaha yb125sp, everything seems right but I can't figure out how to make the rpm work? Could you please help me?
