does anyone have a tach on their raptor? if so, how was the install?id like to put one on mine but i dont want to burn up the coil.any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

 

Yamaha sells a small Tach/Hour Meter for $50 that should work. I am looking into getting one myself. I haven't got yet, but I will.

 

I've got the Yamaha tach hour meter bit I'd like to hook up a shift light. any ideas?

 

I have a tiny tach from rockey mnt. atv and it has a wire that you tape to your spark plug wire and it takes a signal from the wire sort of like a timing light. when the atv is not running it displays as a hour meter. this meter has never failed me and its been on my raptor for 130 hours! I think it sells for around $40

 

Where did you find the small tach at rockymountain? Do yo uhave a part number for it?
Thanks

 

Ditto for me on that............I went out to RockyMTN and couldn't find it either. What catagory is it under lafngas ??

 

ive seen the one in rocky mountain, but i was hoping for the 2 5/8 autometer tach that i can see pretty good and not have to worry drawing my attention away from riding riding. i believe the autometer tachs have four wires how many does the tiny
tach have? thanks.

 

am sorry, I was mistaken. the tach that I have my wife got out of Cabela's outdoor catalog[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]it is very small and is hard to see but all I wanted is a hour meter more than the tach so it works fine for me. The tack is slow on updating up through the rmp range so I don't think its exactly what your looking for. It does seem to be accurate in the upper rpm's ( my raptor turns around 7800 rpm's) as well as down low. works great for making sure your idle is up were it should be so you won't be stalling when you let off the throttle on top of a big bank or something! hope I helped out!

 

rocky mountain atv has them under speedometer and there are different mounts for it. i also seen a mount that had all the raptor lights in it and the key switch was in it to i will try to find it again and see if they make the mount for different models

 

The same tach/hourmeter is also available from www.sendec.com I believe they are the ones who manufacture it for everybody, including Yamaha.
