Baron Tach bouncing

[ACEMUSTANG2002]

Anybody have any suggestions to reduce the hounding needle?

turn up your idle speed.

[ACEMUSTANG2002]

I was just thinking that as well. That’ll be the next thing I try

it should be at around 950 rpm. I'll bet it smooths it out and the needle will be steady.

[ACEMUSTANG2002]

Thanks I’ll try to adjust it to 950 tonight

[ACEMUSTANG2002]

I adjusted the idle. I like it, reminds me of a canned muscle car tach

[davej]

wow it is still jumping around a bit. The bike sounds better though. It looks like it smooth out when it revs. Does it smooth when riding?

[ACEMUSTANG2002]

I haven’t had the bike on the road yet this season

If the tach isn't attached to the bars (holding it in your hand next to the bike) is it smooth or does it still bounce?

[ACEMUSTANG2002]

Good question, I didn’t think of that. Not sure I want to take it off to check just yet but I’ll keep that in mind!

ACEMUSTANG2002 yeah just thinking about if the gauge itself is that sensitive to vibration or if there is an electrical issue causing it.
