I just installed a VDO tach and am trying to get some ballpark reference points. Speed versus rpm in a particular gear, I'm running stock tires fwiw. If you can
help me that would be great, I'm not getting a good feeling from this tach, l could be confused coming from a v twin.

Twin tach will not work on a single without massive modifications. That Trail Tech I got sure works nice though.

EZ, you are so right, I'm sending VDO back because it's not working properly. it is listed as a 1 cylinder or 2 cylinder use, however the 1 cylinder is supposed to be a 2 stroke, I found this out after I ordered it the description was a little ambiguous on the website.. I should have listened to you from the start I ordered a TTO. Note to self pay attention to what E Z is telling me. Thanks again!

Not to hijack the thread but Ez I also purchased the TTO. What settings did you use mine is all over the place sometimes close to actual idle then off by around 300 RPM ??? I am currently set to ppr 1.0 lo and slo.

set to 0.5 and fast, and cut out any excess wire so it is not reading its own echo as well. Then just twist together and tape up - works great for the every day.
