Re: Tach goes to 10000rpm when bike is switched on

Thanks for the response, I have found someone in the states to repair it, as I believe I have isolated the problem to the tach itself, also the speedo trip odometer reset does not work.

Re: Tach goes to 10000rpm when bike is switched on

one clue that will not go away is the tach malfunction, with the key on, I unplugged each connector in the wiring harness one by one. It did not change with all the connectors unplugged, so it has to be the tach or the binnacle wiring, visibly it seemed good.

Does the Classic share its dash and indicator lights with any other rotaries? I could use a better one.

Tach goes to 10000rpm when bike is switched on

The tach on my Classic goes to 10000rpm and stays there when the ignition is switched on (not started). Where should I start to look when trouble shooting?
