I'm very interested in getting a tach for my Z, I think it would be "alot" of fun to have. Highlifter has one and its even yellow, its $139, no a bad price and it looks really sharp. Anyways they don't know if it will work on the Z400 so I asked for a wiring diagram. I got the diagram faxed and I have scanned it and put it on the web.

So can someone please take a look at the wiring diagram and tell me if it would work on the Z400? If not what would have to be changed to make it work. Thanks.

Tach from Highlifter

The wiring diagram

 

Looks like it will work. I'm going to look at the coil tonight. I don't even think you would need to attach it to the battery unless you ride at night.
I've done these on cars before and it's so simple.

 

I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me out. I would love to put a tach on my Z, it would so sweet !!

 

Do yall know where i can get a tach that will work for a lt250r. And is a lil bit cheaper then 139.99.

thanx

 

I went out there tonight and forgot to look at the coil. I did pull the baffle off the intake, but that's it. I'll look in the morning and post later tomorrow.
There are cheaper ones ou tthere than $139. Some will run right off the spark plug wire.

 

I know you can get cheaper ones but they are digital and digital tachs take samples not a constant read like an analog one does. Do you know of cheaper analog ones? I like the looks of highlifter's tach, it matches the Z perfectly.

Did you get a chance to look at the coil? Will this tachometer work with my Z? I want to order it. Anyone else know if it will work? Thanks.

 

I looked at the coil tonight while I was rejetting. It's right up there at the front of the frame under the gas tank. It looks like hooking up a tach lead would be a slam dunk. i say go for it. I want to get one too. I can't guarantee you 100% it will work since you are the first guy tring this, but it looks like you can hook right into the post without any difficulty.

 

bbertram how did that tach work on your Z? I want one on my vinson but am not sure if it will work.
