I've posted on here a while ago about this, I gave up last year but while I still have a bit of time before the weather gets good enough to ride I thought I'd try again. I fitted later clocks on my Hybrid and used an electronic tacho, however I have never been able to make it work. the wiring is simple enough, I've checked it and double checked it and tried all the contacts, so now over the last 18 months I have bought 4 tachos, the latest one a couple of months ago, fitted yesterday and guess what! surely I cant be so unlucky that all 4 are duff  Would anybody here be happy to test them if I send them to you? I know it's a ball ache having to disconnect one and connect the other so I full understand if nobody fancies the task. Don't ask, don't get they say. Thanks, Phil |

Following on from this, I had a thought this morning that have I connected the correct "new" tacho, so I have gone through the 4 and no, I had obviously connected one of the old ones, so I know actually have a working tacho. So my next question is, how have you guys who have done this mod connected the new wire into the wire from the CDI? I dont fancy cutting the wire but what other options are there??
Thanks, Phil

Where in the country are you Phil? There might be someone nearby who could test your tacho.

Is it an lc2 loom or F1/N1 loom
I'm asking as the pv controller wiring is slightly different on each and you can also connect it there

Insulate the connection with self amalgamating tape Option 3 If you don't want to bugger around with connectors and crimps then find where you want to tap into the wire, strip back 10mm of the insulation with a knife, wrap the new wire around the bare wire, solder then tape up That way you aren't actually "cutting" the wire Steve |
