I have little mini - Thunder electronic tachs on mine - there is a very slight lag - if your using them for serious stuff - Aaron mentioned that with the programable ignition you could run a tach for any twin if you set it to twin mode and set the second hit 180 deg away - second timing cup hole - no problems there - however, you would loose the auto enrichner function and would have to set up a choke or manually keep the bike at a mildly high idle for a few minutes for warm up. - Got Thump?!

Looks like a cross between an X1, a V-rod, and a Gurney Gator, and an accident waiting to happen. Curved truss members? |

I have got an electric tach, and when I hook it up she reads only half of what the actuall engine speed is, unless she red lines at 3200rpm! |

If you would fill in your profile info, at least the bike model/year part, we might be able to advise you as to why that is. |

My guess is that you bought a tach designed to work with a dual spark ignition but have a bike with a single spark ignition. All DDFI Buells are single spark, and the Blast is single spark, if you fitted a tach designed to work with carbureted Buell twins or Harleys, it will report rpm/2. |

Hey, I was up in Park Rapids, MN over the week and saw a 9R parked outside an auto parts store. When I came back to find out who it was it was gone. Anyone know who it might have been? I'll look them up next time I'm up there. |

Yeah, got the tire, thanks much! Was it the factory tach? They don't use inductive pickups. I assumed he was talking about an aftermarket inductive type tach. Or maybe I just don't know what the heck I'm talking about. LOL. Wouldn't be the first time. |

I think maybe I've got this tachometer business all bass ackwards. I had a carbureted bike and fitted a FI type Tach., not the other way around. So just disregard everything I ever said. I mean, like, you know, really. Or maybe my M2 spun up to 13,600 rpm. What do I know. I mean, really. |

So I put a .030 Screaming Eagle pistons, new thunderstorm heads and the engine did not work right. I did every thing to spec but the head, and the cylinder will not seal? Look for easy answers...1996 Buell S2 |

Do they make a Screaming Eagle piston that' compatible with a Thunderstorm head? i.e. 15 degree dome?

Hoser, About 1" slack on the bottom run. Too little slack and the suspension won't work properly and it's hard on the isolators. Greg |

OK that's a start , ....... but is the slack to be measured unladen , or with rider seated ?. Many of the race Buells I have looked at and photographed have quite a lot of droop in the chain when at rest in the pit , propped up on a stand . Also the chain lays on the top of the swingarm mounting block when the bike is unladen , it is currently fitted with a 23/48 sprocket combination , I'm thinkin a 24 or 25 would be more appropriate front ,and would need to be mated to a larger rear. We ( the owner and I )have discussed gearing selection and having a variety of choices on hand , this coming weekend the bike will be raced in Edmonton , which has a very nice new track , short and technical , well suited to a Buell. Our goal is to learn , evaluate and make adjustments , more or less work on development , not arrive with the intent to win. |
