have the drag Specialties tach and there are 4 wires red,green,blue,black. I do have a 99 M2 manual. What I need to know is how do I wire this? Do I need to crimp the ends and where do the wires connect directly to the speedo unit under the tank?? I just don't know. I have the wiring diagram out of the manual for the Buell tach. Can anyone give me some help thanks. | ||

can I do this put red and blue together and put to speedo wiring harness connector in #3 where orange goes on stock tach and does my green go to my coil or is that the pink #3 on stock and black goes same as stock black #9????? I looked all over the boards...any feedback would be great thanks | ||

I am installing a drag Specialties tach and I Jackbequick has help me a bunch he has stated: The stock tach has (or may have) five wires coming out of the tach housing. Only three of those are connected to anything. I think those wires that are used are as follows but I am not dead certain: orange = light pink = tach signal black = ground Does this look right??????????? My after market drag Specialties tach has 4 wires Green- signal can go to coil red- which is ignition on Blue- Lamp on Black-ground So I should be able to put My blue and red wire together and put to Buell orange connector. #3 My Green coil wire to buell Pink-signal #7 My black to buell Black #9 connector If someone could look this over please let me know if this looks right. Also the correct connectors are amp miltilock socket/pin terminals...So do I need male socket connectors??? Thanks John | ||

John, On you question on the socket/pin contacts the sockets should already be in place in the connector and your wires would need the pins crimped onto them. The pins would then be pushed into place from the wire entry side of the housing and would lock themselves into place. I think those pins are either a Deutsch or Amp part and can be ordered online from someone like Mouser if you can't get them through a Buell or H-D dealer. But you need the part number to get the right ones as there are a bunch of different ones. Here is a Mouser catalog page with some Amp pins of that general type but there are many pages of them I'm not certain i they are right and exactly which one is used on the Buells: http://www.mouser.com/catalog/626/1044.pdf It looks like everyone is ignoring your question but I'm sure our regular electrical experts here will spot this thread soon and sort it out. If it is of any help in working out John's answer, or of any other use to anyone, here are links to the six pages of the install instructions for a Buell Z1042.L tach kit for the M2: http://users.adelphia.net/~jackerbes/Buell/tach_1.jpg http://users.adelphia.net/~jackerbes/Buell/tach_2.jpg http://users.adelphia.net/~jackerbes/Buell/tach_3.jpg http://users.adelphia.net/~jackerbes/Buell/tach_4.jpg http://users.adelphia.net/~jackerbes/Buell/tach_5.jpg http://users.adelphia.net/~jackerbes/Buell/tach_6.jpg Jack |
