how to install tachometer on Honda motorcycle

• 2023-07-13

The speed of the Honda motorcycle is about 4000 revolutions. Honda motorcycle tachometers generally have two methods of measuring speed: electronic and mechanical. Electronic tachometers measure the engine speed through a wire connected to the igniter or magneto based on the ignition frequency. Mechanical tachometers measure the engine speed through a speedometer gear installed inside the engine (some attached to the crankshaft or near the camshaft), The Honda motorcycle engine tachometer on the instrument panel is connected through a flexible shaft (speedometer line), which is similar in principle to the speedometer installed in the front wheels.

As for the speed and gear shifting skills, it doesn't seem to have much to do, as long as it is within a certain range. The most important thing is that the speed matches the vehicle speed, and the numbers really don't matter. As long as you increase the speed when upshifting and upshift at the moment of picking up oil, downshifting is the opposite. Because your Honda motorcycle is automatic clutch, don't worry about the clutch, and practice it slowly. It's not taught, it's learned and practiced by oneself. Even if you have a tachometer installed, I suggest you be careful when shifting gears. 

The Honda motorcycle electronic tachometer uses the principle of electromagnetism to connect a pointer to a piece of iron, surrounded by an electromagnetic iron wire group . The electromagnet has three wires, namely the positive , negative , and high-voltage input wires . That is, the ignition wire of the engine , which ignites the Honda motorcycle engine every time it comes out , that is , it rotates twice . According to this principle, every time the electromagnet is energized , it will magnetize once . The faster it rotates , the stronger the magnetic force , and the pointer will move upwards.

The Honda motorcycle mechanical tachometer is connected to the engine with one end of a soft steel wire and the instrument panel with the other end. It uses the power of the engine to drive the soft steel wire to rotate. Then, there is a circular magnet in centimeters, which is attached to a bowl shaped iron plate. The iron plate is the pointer, and the faster the rotation, the faster the magnetic force moves with the iron bowl. The principle of the mechanical tachometer is the same as that of the odometer on the left.
