Title: Tach?
Post by: hungryrussian on June 22, 2011, 03:17:57 AM
Anyone have a tachometer installed on their agility? i would love to get one but i have no clue how you would hook it up or where to mount it? if anyone does have one or have experience with one i'd like to know how you did it and possibly see pics of your mounting  :)

I have a trail tech tach coming for my zx from America, $42.90 delivered half a world away, $49.95 in Australia. To hook these up you only wrap the pickup wire around your spark plug lead.

i just checked those out i think i may be ordering 2 the one i was looking at was $102 but it is an entire instrument panel in one i could use one of those for my scoot and my dirtbike it's quite a nice looking easy to install unit as well

I sometimes take a small sound recorder with me to record the engine sound for an entire trip. Afterwards I transfer this recording to my laptop where I run it through a spectrum analyzer so I can measure rpm's in different stages of acceleration without buying or buiding something and without being distracted while driving...

So far this has worked great for me  ;D

that sounds pretty neat i dson't believe i know quite how a spectrum analyzer works nor do i have one but that is a pretty genius idea i never would have thought of
