do a search and youll find previous post about this subject, im not even going to waste my time. Ron woods for one, plan on spending $200 for any tach for your bike.

Nice info, but Ron woods doesnt carry them any more...

Pretty much your only choice for analog is a jr. dragster tach from autometer which only goes up to 10k rpm. If you want digital there are plenty of choices and you can search to find those.

im interested in this topic too, because when i go to Aids Auto, i see decent looking tach's for about 50$, the needle type. i think i need a Dyna Ignition to hook it up though..

The pulse rate on the dyna ignition is 2 pps which is compatible with most tachs designed for 2-4-6-8 cylinder configurations. Thats why you can use the cheap autozone tachs for them. If you install a tach not set for a 1 cylinder configuration and the correct pulse rate then you will get incorrect readings from the tach if it works at all on a stock coil.

I have been unable to find the pulse rate of the stock coil.

The thing that matters most on a ATV tach is the delay.

Yep, I believe that is called the pulse rate.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
