Hi All
I have just rebuilt my clocks.. new decal faces trip knob covers etc..
There is a slot on the tacho where it looks like something has been removed, there is a pair of wires taped up, which backs up this !
What is the item and what is its function, and do i need one ?
Ta for the help
Ash

I would imagine you only need it if you want the self cancelling to work.Doesnt it go in the speedo not the Tacho?

A few Yamaha's from that era have them. It's called the reed switch or reed sensor but I don't know if they are interchangeable between different models, I would guess yes. The reed switch senses the distance covered and signals the self cancelling unit [located below the ignition coil].
