Rev counter drive cable - free to good home.
Hi,
I've found a drive cable which I believe is for a tachometer. It was sold to me as a speedo cable but it's too short. Free to good home, let me know! Ta! |

I have a 1993 M900 and I'd like to fit a rev counter but there is no drive in the horizontal head, can I retrofit a rev counter drive? if so ill take the cable.

If you check out the parts fische for the M900 (Which doesn’t have tacho drive installed) and 900SS (Which does), the difference is that a spacer has been installed instead of the worm drive. It’s a bit of a faff swapping them over as you need to pull a cam bearing out of the way. Worth checking if there’s already a worm drive there though.
I looked at this some time ago, but it seemed too fiddly for a tacho that the bike doesn’t really need. You of course may decide otherwise for yours.

Hey Darkeness, I will defer to your wisdom and pass this very kind offer over to anyone else that wants it.

I think the legend (or myth) goes, that when they started to make Monsters they were meant to have 4 valve water cooled engines (888?), But instead they hoiked engines out of poorly selling 900SS and used those. I don't know how true that is, but if it is then you might find rev-counter drives on some early Monsters.
All the SS range had mechanical rev-counters up until the ie models which came in about 1999. I'm assuming that they then switched to electronic. So the cable should fit an SS model if it is indeed a rev-counter cable.

Could I please bag the rev counter cable for my 750SS which will be my next or next but one rebuild and hopefully more a restoration rather than a rebuild?

Not sure if they are all like that or just early engines (my engine is date stamped '95).
