if you run the gas wire to ground. the gauge will stay the tank is full and you wont get a flashing light anymore. did that on my bike and it worked great.
Just got a 95 883 hugger with no blinkers or speedometer. Not worried about wiring up blinkers right now but definitely would like to wire up a speedometer and fuel guage. Gonna look for this tac and give it a try
There is an odometer reading, but more than likely starts at 0. You’d probably have to spin your front wheel(with hooked up magnet sensor)till it gets to your reading off of your other odometer.
Man, I wish you could share how did you wired the speed sensor. Did you use the one that came with the speedometer or used the one already on the bike? Also where does the light green with violet stripe and brown with a violet stripe wires from the bike harness does it connect to on the speedometer? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Factory service manual calls for your idle to be set at 950-1050 RPM to maintain good oil flow to the heads at idle. I know this because I used to own one. Your bike is idling a bit low, probably because the engine is cold, but make sure when it's warm its idling closer to a thousand revs.
For me doesn't wotk the RPM and the speed sensor shows wrong kilometers.. i have one magnet and my speedometer on settings have 4 digits for the wheel circumference,how can i regulate it??
you should be able to use foam cushion from the stock speedo or just buy some weather stripping tape speedo was off by 2-5 mph at times kind of annoying.. i switched back to stock.
+Matthew Chancellor true, for the price it really isn't bad. but its just a pita to install trying to get the sensor to sense the magnets, speedo will be way off if you try to hardwire to stock speed sensor
Hello, could you help? I have a yamaha xj 750 seca 82 and I do not detect the engine speed. I connected it directly to the ignition coil and tried either 2 or 4 cylinders. but the indicator does not move.
your speedometer reading should come off of the supplied speed sensor and magnets that should be mounted to your front wheel. your connection to the ignition coil would give you your rev readings and not the speed of the engine.
+Lumes1982 initially I wired it into my stock speed sensor which gave readings but was not correct so i switched out to the supplied speed sensor and mounted it to front forks. with the supplied magnets.. even with the correct wheel circumference settings it was off by 2-5mph at times.
Hello all I have problem with my tachometer rest working good.i have Harley sportster 2000 year 1200 engine electronic ignition tach don't work any help will be good
Hi I've got one of speedos and having trouble with the rpm,s as in its not working So I have a quick question where have you got the rpm wire connected to,the loom or coil pos side Cheers Dek121
Neil Alumia Good morning I have some bike.i have trouble with rpm I use purple and black wire and conect to coil but no luck.also I can set up speedo I measure try circumference is 2050 mm but set points in speedo max is 499mm
your speedometer/tach should've came with a supplied speed sensor and magnets.. those were to be mounted on your front wheel unless you were going to use your current speed sensor
Hi I have a question how many mph were you off with the stock sensor ? I bought the same speedometer and I’m about to try to get it install as well but I was thinking on using the stock speed sensor !
Hellow! How accurate is that speedo? I have a 97 1200. I have the dual speedo and tach bracket. Is that the OEM speedo bracket or got another one just for the gauge? Since my tach is still working , I would keep it ;)
Do R/C! I ended up going back to stock, I wanted accurate speed readings from stock speed sensor. I could’ve ran it longer but it was just a temporary means till I got a replacement stock speedometer
you can use your existing speed sensor, but the actual speedometer reads better with speed sensor that comes with speedometer that can be mounted on to fork.
Daniel Ellsworth nice, tach if I can remember correctly was wired into a wire with ignition coil with a resistor. Speed sensor was on it’s own up front with the use of magnets
initially i wired it into my stock speed sensor which gave readings but was not correct, so inswitched out to the supplied speedometer that i mounted to front forks with supplied magnets and wheel circumference settings and this was off as well 2-3mph at times
+Mrjulicaro it can be wired to your current speed sensor, the only problem is the readings wont be the same, as the settings for this speedometer is set and calibrated by supplied circumference of installed magnets. that is just what i think
Moto G2 not the same tach but same bike and he gives some good info on witch wire dose what its a long video but he explanes well hope this helps th-cam.com/video/CFLCbqfrgE8/w-d-xo.html
Beau Patterson , the original tach cable was electronic with the sensor towards the rear by the starter. For this eBay speedometer you would have to find a way to mount the supplied speed sensor on your forks in a way that it would read each rotation of the front wheel with the supplied magnets.
if friend that is my question esque the original I had my bike c gets hurt me difficult to put the original one by the cost and this model you have is more accessible for me to acquire it for that was my question if you can connect with this model motorcycle and year
+cesar carbajal the unit is universal, if you wire it properly it should work. i suggest "not" wiring oil and neutral and keep it stock wiring. only use this unit if you want it for speedometer/tach and maybe turnsignal function for the sportster
sorry for the late reply, in order to change wheel circumference you must press the settings button in back of the speedometer and hold while turning on motorcycle till you get the settings menu
Lumes1982 I got that, the problem is you can enter three digit number, meaning max 999, and circumference is about 2100mm, for digit number.. What did you enter and does it show your speed corectly? Thanks
+alfa145q 1 yeah setting the circumference was a pita, the circumference i used was based off of the location of the magnets' circumference divided by 2 if i remember correctly.
if you run the gas wire to ground. the gauge will stay the tank is full and you wont get a flashing light anymore. did that on my bike and it worked great.
thanks for the info, others can benefit from your advice
thanks for the info. finally no more blinking.
Just got a 95 883 hugger with no blinkers or speedometer. Not worried about wiring up blinkers right now but definitely would like to wire up a speedometer and fuel guage. Gonna look for this tac and give it a try
how you get on
Hi question does it have a odometer reading and if yes does it read what was on bike previously and if yes how did u hook that up
There is an odometer reading, but more than likely starts at 0. You’d probably have to spin your front wheel(with hooked up magnet sensor)till it gets to your reading off of your other odometer.

Hey can you solve you question ? I have the same question
@@yuercalderon4176same here
Is this like a plug and play set up or does it need to be done by a shop?
Did it come with the bracket?
Factory service manual calls for your idle to be set at 950-1050 RPM to maintain good oil flow to the heads at idle. I know this because I used to own one. Your bike is idling a bit low, probably because the engine is cold, but make sure when it's warm its idling closer to a thousand revs.
Cheers for that Neil I'll try it 👍👍👍
good luck!
Tutorial installation ?
So is it possible to make it accurate? How did it work afterwards?
Looking forward to try it on a Softail
Cheers
For me doesn't wotk the RPM and the speed sensor shows wrong kilometers.. i have one magnet and my speedometer on settings have 4 digits for the wheel circumference,how can i regulate it??
try with 2 magnets, this will solve your problem, and remember to type in your circumference of the wheel in the service menu.
I have a 2005 sportster 1200c custom with the same mount . how did you get it to mount correctly and how far off was the speed on the Speedo ?
you should be able to use foam cushion from the stock speedo or just buy some weather stripping tape speedo was off by 2-5 mph at times kind of annoying.. i switched back to stock.
+Lumes1982 would love to switch back but the one I have crapped out and I am too damn cheap to spend 300+ on a plug and play
+Matthew Chancellor true, for the price it really isn't bad. but its just a pita to install trying to get the sensor to sense the magnets, speedo will be way off if you try to hardwire to stock speed sensor
well I guess my cheap ass will just keep using my trusty cell phone for a while till I get the courage to spend some. $$$
+Matthew Chancellor actually not a bad idea. download "awesome hud" if you have an i device. and get proper mounting to bars and you're set

viktors pucka hook it up to negative wire going to coil, you might need a resistor
That’s a nice looking bike
Hi I've got one of speedos and having trouble with the rpm,s as in its not working
So I have a quick question where have you got the rpm wire connected to,the loom or coil pos side
Cheers
Dek121
to the coil pink wire
Neil Alumia Good morning I have some bike.i have trouble with rpm I use purple and black wire and conect to coil but no luck.also I can set up speedo I measure try circumference is 2050 mm but set points in speedo max is 499mm
Was the installation difficult? I want to install this on my 2003 sportster
The tacho wire from the speedo is purple and black, where have you connected this to make it work....to the coil or another place?
your speedometer/tach should've came with a supplied speed sensor and magnets.. those were to be mounted on your front wheel unless you were going to use your current speed sensor
Coil
Hi I have a question how many mph were you off with the stock sensor ? I bought the same speedometer and I’m about to try to get it install as well but I was thinking on using the stock speed sensor !
jose rodriguez stock speed sensor won’t work, only the speed sensor that came with the speedo/tach will work. Speed is of by 5
Hellow! How accurate is that speedo? I have a 97 1200. I have the dual speedo and tach bracket. Is that the OEM speedo bracket or got another one just for the gauge? Since my tach is still working , I would keep it ;)
CzarWilkins yup oem speedo bracket, speedometer was a bit off by 5 at times
Thanks
how did you set wheel circumference, what calue dod you enter?
pls help on how to wire this up after removal of the old I have a virago bobber but no clue how to wire this up
Richard Harber I apologize, just seen this message now. Hope by now it has already been wired. If not a diagram for this is online
How did this work for you long term?
Do R/C! I ended up going back to stock, I wanted accurate speed readings from stock speed sensor. I could’ve ran it longer but it was just a temporary means till I got a replacement stock speedometer
I can't seem to get mine to work properly.. what wire Coker's did you hook everything to?
Royce Ramos what isn’t working properly?
what about the default diagnostic menu with the errors codes... does it work?
alvaro andrade I don’ remember a diagnostic menu but there is a menu for changing wheel size and cylinders if I can remember correctly
that speedo on ebay shows it's got plugs already, does it fit on the stock wiring or you have to solder everything?
you can use your existing speed sensor, but the actual speedometer reads better with speed sensor that comes with speedometer that can be mounted on to fork.
I had to cut the connector and splice and solder wires
Brand mark?
lumes1982....I have the same gauge on a similar bike ( yours sounds beast btw) how did you hook up the tach, and did you ever figure out the speedo?
Daniel Ellsworth nice, tach if I can remember correctly was wired into a wire with ignition coil with a resistor. Speed sensor was on it’s own up front with the use of magnets
@Manuel Matus try 10k ohm 1/2 Watt
@Manuel Matus yeah it was the pink wire i used off the ignition coil.
@Manuel Matus it’s been so long.. i can’t remember all that i did with that universal speedo but i do remember eventually going back to stock.
I have sportser xl low 2008 I want to buy can’t find on Ebay help please
Was it plug and play
The Infinit Ryda lol,nope,I wish
You said the speed wasnt reading correctly, are you using the magnet system provided or was it not necessary to install.
initially i wired it into my stock speed sensor which gave readings but was not correct, so inswitched out to the supplied speedometer that i mounted to front forks with supplied magnets and wheel circumference settings and this was off as well 2-3mph at times
Cool thanks
+Mrjulicarobtw i meant i installed the supplied speed sensor with magnets
Yeah I saw that they come with two magnets and a bolt. Im hoping that a direct connection to ECU would be fine for my Fz8
+Mrjulicaro it can be wired to your current speed sensor, the only problem is the readings wont be the same, as the settings for this speedometer is set and calibrated by supplied circumference of installed magnets. that is just what i think
brother i have a gs75082 and it does not mark the rpm you could fix it
Moto G2 your rpm wire of off the tach should be connected to the negative side of the ignition coil
Moto G2 not the same tach but same bike and he gives some good info on witch wire dose what its a long video but he explanes well hope this helps th-cam.com/video/CFLCbqfrgE8/w-d-xo.html
I live in Nepal.Where can I get this meter.How to get such product.Can u help me?
ebay is your friend
Geek
The gear works ?
I did not use my gear indicator.. i'm sure it would work though
Is it connected electrically only?
No wheel connector?
Trainin Grim no speedo drive required. all electrical, should come with a magnet sensor harness.
@@Lumes1982 oh alright. And where is the magnet sensor connected?
You mount it by your rotors or where to catch the magnets as they spin
@@Lumes1982 cool, thanks. do remember what was the model maybe?
Not sure what model, but these are pretty cheap on eBay
How long did it take you to do installation?
sorry for the late reply, installation took about a few hours as long as you're using your existing mounting
Chino gauge already malfunctioning...
is that a rebel 250?
Sportster 883-1200
Who makes the speedo?
Prob Chinese, no way putting on my Harley...though I do wish it has a tach/gear indicator etc...
Hi,
How did you get connected to the rpm to work?
sorry for the late reply, pink wire from ignition coil
Was the original tach cable drivin? I’m also not sure how to connect the tach part of the cluster
Beau Patterson , the original tach cable was electronic with the sensor towards the rear by the starter. For this eBay speedometer you would have to find a way to mount the supplied speed sensor on your forks in a way that it would read each rotation of the front wheel with the supplied magnets.

It doesn’t lol
How did you calibrate the milage ?
