main red from battery goes up into igintion 1st ..then switches to brown via ignition....so try that mate..

was ther nowt in the box??? or on website at all???

how they sell with no user instructions

theres a wiring diagram gaz but i hate electrics and dunno how to read wiring diagrams

[lcowner]

thanx garry but i got sorted with ur advice ..........using ur advice 3 up ^^^.i have power going to it via ignition swicth and back light working now so i think im ok now m8 thanx a million!!!
no doubt i be back on here later looking for more advice on the rest of it ;D

[lcowner]

told ya i be back!!how the hell do i set up the rpm??this is what i have left:


lets call left to right 1-9
1-speed sensr
2-speed sensor bkt
3-magnets for sensor to pick up signal on wheel,wer im suppose to put these i dunno-glue them onto disc or head of disc bolts?
4+5 are exactly the same and one end plugs into dash unit
6+7 same one is for water temp and other fuel,which i wont use
8+9-rpm leads

ive been told to use the wire 8(2nd from right),now the green bullet connector goes to dash unit,the female spade(insulated) goes to - side of coil.............what im left with is 'o' connector thingy and a spade connection

i persume 1 of these has to be wired around plug itself and other well i dont f**kin know...........any help would be great

i did email koso and asked him which cable i use for rpm and he replyed with this:(wire type 'b' is wire 8 second from right)

''The RPM wire has a bullet connector and is paired with the black fuel gauge ware coming out of the rear of the gauge, suggest you use it with wire type B connected to negative side of coil, then st up the number of cyinders the coil is driving as per the instructions leaflet''

CLEAR AS f**kIN MUD ;D

[lcowner]

yeah i think i can manage the rest but sorry which is negative on coil(i feel like a right numpty!)?sorry for all this bolloxing m8 about................

[lcowner]

this is what koso said wer wires go for rev counter to work:

bullet end-goes to dash – Yes that’s correct
insulated female spade-goes to negative side of coil under tank – Yes that’s correct
male spade connector- to original wire that connected to negative side of the coil
'o' type connector- not usually connected

so pissed off now going to f**kin bed.................

[lcowner]

where is the negative side of the coil??

''male spade connector- to original wire that connected to negative side of the coil''- what the hell does this mean?

[lcowner]

just wrapped wire around plug lead as advised from a mate who works in a bike shop and rpm works fine now..........................i dont undersatnd y instructions ect are so complliacated these days ffs
thanx gaz for all your help

[lcowner]

appreciate it m8
