Title: Install a Tachometer?
Post by: Kontera on June 03, 2010, 05:21:40 PM: Someone tell me... is it possible to install a small tachometer onto the Agility 125? Its a 2007. Would it wire through the CDI or be like a cable similar to the speedometer?

You just wrap the wire around the spark plug wire anywhere between the coil and spark plug and secure it with electrical tape. Then you can either double stick tape it or bolt it to the dash. It takes about 10 min to install it! It was about $35.

Post by: Rianna on October 07, 2010, 10:43:40 PM: Thanks, wordslinger. I did actually see another thread he commented in (around here somewhere) with a less expensive speedo.

Post by: oswaldters on October 07, 2010, 10:45:36 PM: I'm liking the look of that tach. Seems like it would be helpful.

Have to figure out where to mount it.

In the other thread on here (somewhere) there is a picture of how someone mounted theirs, oswaldters.

Maybe he coming this way next, sid.

Post by: oswaldters on October 07, 2010, 11:33:44 PM: I see where I'd like to mount it - but I couldn't bolt it in and the peel-n-stick idea worries me.

I don't know that it would hold up to my riding in lots of rain and in freezing temps.

Then again, those peel and stick led lights seem to stay on securely.

Post by: Rianna on October 07, 2010, 11:51:26 PM: Yeah, if it's expensive, I'm not sure I'd trust the sticky stuff. :-\

Post by: oswaldters on October 08, 2010, 12:14:01 AM: I think it's probably worth a shot. That 3M vhb is supposed to be some tough stuff that can stand up to water and cold weather.
