- As the title states, this is a video explaining the install of one of these cheap ebay gauges onto a 1980 XJ650.
Link to the one I bought: www.ebay.com/itm/284242423243... - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
You are actually the only one who explained the continuous and positive wiring, thank youuu 🙏🏻
Thanks for the info! I've been fighting with this on a bobber i am building from a honda shadow aero lol. This vid got all my issues straightened out! You sir, are a life saver
Me and my dad are working on a boom b50 ruckus clone and, we couldn't figure a few of those things out. Thanks a ton man!
This was very helpful. I just put one on my 1983 Honda Nighthawk 650 and just needed to know how to set the wheel circumference. Thanks!
tysm, for those that have the 9 pin/wire connector. I see a lot of the universal tachs just with 4 pin/wires now, very simplified!
Very helpful, this things been driving me nuts.
Tnx 4 the video it looks like a nice tachometer
Great advice! Thanks, i’m wiring it on a suzuki gsx750es caferacer...
You need to use a wire that needs a negative feed as oil warning light. At least on my ‘77 honda needs to be done that way. Oil sensor sends signal via negative. You can use gear indicators on your speedo. I used #6 speed and its working. Good luck.
You know what, I think you're right! I noticed that my oil indicator stopped working after this, and it must be because I wired it wrongly.
Good idea, I use the indicator light.
Helpful, thank you!
with 2 magnets it would be circumference divided by 2 and those magnets have to me evenly spaced on the top and bottom of the rotor right?
Thanks for the tutorial. When you say the red wire is "power to the speedo all the time" what do you mean by that and how would you wire it? Would you just run a wire to the positive terminal of the battery separate from the ignition wire? Wouldn't that drain your battery constantly? Even if you add a switch to this wire I don't see how that's different from the ignition power source. My speedo seems to work fine with just the black ignition wire hooked up and powers on but will my settings not be saved?
I was wondering if the speedometer has a battery inside that needs to be charged to keep the settings and if the settings will be saved if you use the bike constantly.
Its almost like wiring a head unit..you need 12v that comes on with the key..and one that is 12 volt constant to keep clock battery charged. I removed my fairing from my goldwing and that left me with the 2 wires that used to feed stereo in fairing. I used those wired as they are already fused to fused box
What about the gear indicator? Did you get it to work?
I have a 2003 honda vtx 1300 s ,here's the ? Can I do that with my please take your time to responde I been looking everywhere and can't find a speedo swap on this bike ,my speedometer shows the miles digitally and speed with needle but is all electric
Hey man this is a great video! Anyway you could update the link to this specific speedometer? I have the same exact bike and want to install an aftermarket speedometer
does is keep mileage/odo if battery is disconnected?
my speed sensor is not working anyone knows a solution? is it the magnet? the sensor?
Hi bro just want to ask what color of the wire in xj you connect for the rpm thanks
ever end up figuring it out?
so it wont work on a kickstarter?
How's visibility with the sun light?
Help me! what did you do to mark the fuel level? The fuel level does not mark me,
I used a resistor instead of a fuel level sensor. Since this bike doesn't have a fuel level sensor. I believe I used a 6k ohm resistor
Did yours come stock as MPH? Mine is KPH was wondering if you can change that?
you can you just turn it on and then hold the button until it changes to MPH
How far from center did you mount the magnet? Trying to figure out how to set the speed but mine is way off. Did you use 2 magnets or just one?
it doesn't matter how far from centre you mount the magnet. As you set the circunference, it will multiply revs per time (second or minute) by the circunference you've informed before. So, if the circunference is 1 meter and it revs 10 times per second, the speed reading will be 10 meters per second.
How did u find the circumference of the tire again and what size tires does yours have
Circumference = diameter x 2.14 (which is pi)
Pi is 3.14
Hi, if you just know how you have helped me with the meaning of the numbers 1-5. I didn't know what they presented as these china gauges are confused and everyone is made of each other. Thanks a million. Am in Kenya.
Do this Yamaha have shift sensor indicator?
No it doesn't
Many thanks
and that made you start to mark the fuel level ?, how many watts was the 9ohms resistance
Yes, that will make say it has gas, and stops blinking. And the resistor won't carry any current.
flyingfencepost where do you bought your resistor?
@@tomasignaciomatamalabaez8527 you can just buy them online on eBay
flyingfencepost thanks a lot!
What can happen if it rains? Water will enter the headlight housing (where there are some electrical connectors) and 'goodbye' operation - momentarily or in time. And problems, big problems ...
There are no sensitive electronics in the headlights, so rainwater won't hurt much.
@@sv8313 They are not electronics, but I was talking about electrical connectors - there is a difference between electronic parts and electrical parts. The electronic parts are located in other parts, those suffer from the vibrations.
@Popa Alexandru the connectors are fine. Unless you rode the bike underwater, which at that point you would have bigger things to worry about.
@@sv8313I have met connectors in safe places that have been damaged by water... it is not necessary to ride a motorcycle under water, it is enough to circulate important currents or, for example, some signals with a frequency of kHz.
@@PopaAlexandru. 🤓🤓
What did you use for the fuel?
I have the same question I tried grounding but it didn’t work. Did you get it figured out?
@@BIGGZ46 Use a resistor in place of the fuel level sender.
Why would you not start the bike to show the rpm ACTUALLY work??
Uhh, cause the bike was loud, and I already knew it worked. If what I said was bogus, then more people would speak up in the comments.
@@flyingfencepost nobody said it didnt...but, would have been nice to see. Most of those have quite a bit of what you would call "lagg" when the rpm revs...just curious if yours did the same.
@@williampetrey662 Gotcha. I sold this bike about 2 years ago now, but my gauge didn't have any lag.
Like "Chinglish"😂
Nacrt
Chinglish LOL
Chinglish! Lol
