Install a Tachometer?
« on: June 03, 2010, 05:21:40 PM »
Someone tell me... is it possible to install a small tachometer onto the Agility 125? Its a 2007. Would it wire through the CDI or be like a cable similar to the speedometer?

I believe Shaka just put one on his ZX50, I don't think he had to cut any wires, just wrapped the pickup wire around the spark plug lead. I think he started a thread on it in the Tech./How to section.
ZX50, 47mm cyl. kit, TZR50 CDI. Michelin Pilot Sport tyres,
Next performance mod; pumping the tyres up.

Yep,  I used the Trail Tech TTO.  It's a great little tach!  The company is also GREAT to deal with!  You just wrap the wire around the spark plug wire anywhere between the coil and spark plug and secure it with electrical tape.  Then you can either double stick tape it or bolt it to the dash.  It takes about 10 min to install it!  It was about $35.

Wow...great link! That's pretty cool!! Just curious...has anyone tried one of their digital speedometer/odometers? A little more pricey at $79 & $99...just wondering if they would be more accurate and possibly in miles rather than kilometers?

Thanks, wordslinger. I did actually see another thread he commented in (around here somewhere) with a less expensive speedo.

I'm liking the look of that tach.  Seems like it would be helpful.

Have to figure out where to mount it.

In the other thread on here (somewhere) there is a picture of how someone mounted theirs, oswaldters.

Maybe he coming this way next, sid.
