Author Message   Mvasque Posted on Wednesday, April 09, 2008 - 01:53 am:        I HAVE A 03 XB9S THE TACH ONLY WORKS WHEN THE HANDLE BARS ARE TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT,I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WIRING.   Buell_bert Posted on Wednesday, April 09, 2008 - 02:24 am:        I would try unplugging the tach connector up front and spraying it with contact cleaner then use some dielectric spray grease and plug it back in. Fire it up and hopefully it will work.   Bad_karma Posted on Thursday, April 10, 2008 - 12:45 am:        Sounds like a damaged wire. Clean the connector as Buell_bart recommends than inspect the wiring harness near the steering head. A service manual would be a great help to you. Joe
