907i.e. tach problems

My tach suddenly stopped working. Occasionally dribbles up to 1000 rpm at best. Does anyone know any simple diagnostics for one of these? if it's kaput, I'm looking for one--will an earlier 906 or 750 Paso tach work?

Thanks,

Bob

Start with the cable. Like the speedo, its a spinning cable inside housing. If they get a bit dry, they will seize up and twist off. There is a ferrel on the top side to help support the inner cable and be a bearing. Like the speedo cable and speedo drive, they are often neglected an need some lube from time to time.

I just put one on my bike and the inner cable was really dry. I used some motor oil on it.

Cheers, Phil
