Does anyone have one of these...

and does it work on our bikes (specifically 2nd Gen).

 

ESI325 Inductive Tach

Anyone use anything else besides a permanent bar/reservoir mounted tach?

I use a Fluke 88 automotive Multimeter with a Inductive Pick-up (RPM80) attachment that works great. Kinda pricey but I had it anyway. Should be the same principal...can't really see why it would not work with your RSV. Size of the clamp may be a problem...not much room to get it in there around the plug wire.

Thanks. Yeah, looked into one of those but I'd have to buy a new Multimeter to use it so the price would be lots higher than this unit.

 

If it comes down to the permanent mount tach being a better deal then I'll go with that but I think people on this site have used these before. Just checking to see that they will actually work on our bikes.

I just bought one of these Harbor Freight 3-1/2" LCD Multimeter with Tachometer Kit to use in syncing carbs. While the carb syncing was a bust, the tach worked well. I wish it would be a little less instantaneous, because it jumps a lot, but otherwise seems a solid piece of equipment at a reasonable price.

Dave,

 

Thanks for that link!! I went to Harbor Freight's web site, thinking that someone here had gotten one there, but couldn't find anything when I searched.
