Ol Erns Posted July 5, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 5, 2008 I am installing a tach on my 06 RSV. Putting it on the right side of the bars. Can anyone tell me where the coils are at? The picture in the RSV manual makes it appear it is behiind one of the side ocovers?? Also anyone know which terminal is positive and which is negative on the coil? And does it matter which coil I hook it up to? I don't think it should matter. Thanks for your help!! Erns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted July 5, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 5, 2008 You'll probably want to go to the coils in the front. You need to take the gas tank off and they will be up by the triple tree on the frame. I'm not sure which lead is +or- but I know others will chime in that have done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erns I'm not 100 Percent sure about the 2Gens, but on the other Yammi Bikes, the Red/White Wire is on every Coil and is the + Lead. The TCI is switching Ground, so the other Side(yellow/orange/grey/white) would be your Sensor Wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted July 5, 2008 Share #4 Posted July 5, 2008 The wires into the coil have two different size lugs. The standard lug can be piggy backed for power, the small lug is piggy backed for the signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condor Posted July 5, 2008 Share #6 Posted July 5, 2008 2ndGen's don't have a tach???? What's with that??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hig4s Posted July 5, 2008 Share #7 Posted July 5, 2008 2ndGen's don't have a tach???? What's with that??? They have a rev limiter that limits the RPM to (I believe) 5.6k, and seeing the engine is based on the V-max and can safely rev to over 6k, there is no real need. Just get on it,, I've actually on ever hit the rev limiter once in 11k miles on the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hows do you tell when your clutch starts slippin'.......? Rev limiter.... That's like getting half an engine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get on it,, I've actually on ever hit the rev limiter once in 11k miles on the bike. I'm pretty sure it's higher than that. I have gone to 7,500 before the rev limiters kick in. They do if I am not mistaken have a speed limiter in them also keeping them below 120-125Mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Terror Posted July 6, 2008 Share #11 Posted July 6, 2008 Actually 6000 is correct. To get higher RPM you need a Dyna with it programmed to go higher. Mine is set to 7250 and Max recommended is I think 8000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeeze Posted July 6, 2008 Share #12 Posted July 6, 2008 The Limiter is because of the 'weaker' Valve Springs of the 2Gens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Eagle Posted July 7, 2008 Share #17 Posted July 7, 2008 Let's see if my attachment worked - sorry guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ol Erns Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share #18 Posted July 7, 2008 Thanks for all the help. My tach is the Drag Specialties brand. Fits nice. Looks pretty good, I am happy with it. Haven't jumped into the wiring yet. The directions are pretty simple, I just wasn't sure where or which coil to use and which was the hot side. Maybe, between having to work, and if the remainder of flooring I am installing goes well, and if I get the decks stained, and if I get the driveway sealed I "might" get to work on it next Sunday........unless it rains. Can't stain the deck or seal the driveway then can I? Erns:banana::banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
