I have a Dynatek shift light here for my 1125. The instructions (I read them!) state I can use a tach signal wire or wire it to the coils. Ok...does the 1125 have a tach signal wire? If not how does it get hooked to the coils? Again the instructions are showing a lead to each coil attached to the wire that runs to the ignition module. So what wires would these be? The 08 wiring diagram shows a colored (Yellow front, Blue rear) wire as well as a black and a gray wire from the coils.

This is a tad different than my cars coil!

This may not be as hard as I think!

I'm reading the instructions for my air shifter and it (Engine Kill Module) gets wired to the coils as well. The instructions are a little better but still not brand specific. The Dyna Shift Minder gets wired to the electric over air switching valve however I don't see where the shift light goes now!

I have a Pingel all electric, and it uses a momentary ground to the coil. My bike is in the shop (long story) but as I recall the rear cylinder wire you want is blue/orange stripe for the kill unit.I have the front somewhere-will post color tomorrow. I also have a shift light, but have yet to find the right spot to wire it up correctly. I was using the same coil wire for rpm pick-up. DONT do that... I found that the ground signal was resetting the shift light with each shift. not good LoL

It is from Pingel made by Dynatec. I went with this light as it is expandable (I can add other components to it).

Bott that confirms what I thought, front is yellow with tracer and the rear is blue with a tracer. Thank you.

It looks like the shift light uses the same two coil wires as the shifter.

Anyone have access to find where the instrument cluster gets tach signal? I bought the MSD programmable light which has great features....but....I need a clean rpm input. I cant come off coils with my kill module throwing ground into them. I love the light- I set it to a lower shift point for 1-2 and then 10 flat after that. Just that the damn thing was restarting after each shift and i was hitting the button at 8 grand every gear.....bad et and trap speed lol

Puzzled...good decision on your setup. Dont I recall reading that with your setup its easy to add an auto-shift module? I can add the module to my setup, but I would need
yup you guessed it- a Dyna shift minder hehehe
anyway I know there are a few shiftlights that will throw a signal to my shifter-but only at 1 preset rpm for all shifts

Bott would a relay work for you. The supply side would be the coil input and when the relay was triggered it would send ground to the light.

Its just that with the light i have i cant use a shared coil wire with the kill. I will have to beg borrow or buy the electrical manual and find where the tach itself gets signal.

I finally hooked it up, piece of cake. The two colored wires that were mentioned earlier was correct. I only installed the light. Next up is the air shifter.
