Tachometer on a 250R?

[toocheaptosmoke]

i have done quite alot of work on this topic and what i have found is the Honda Pilot tach works great on a 250R (see pics) it is the same size as the atc tach so mounts up quite nice the only problem is they are RARE as rare as the atc tach so not really a option so i looked around for a another tach that would work i tried most road and outboard options none of that worked proper (either read high or low) the only tach that worked perfectly was from a NSR125 or NSR250 but you guys didn't get them bikes also it comes in a speedo/tach combo which you need to recan into a single which i have not been able to do yet.......not tried to hard as i have been busy lately if anyone wants to see one get me a shout and i'll dig one out....

I know what you mean about all the different tachs, I've bought a few tachs over the years trying to get them to work. I also found that some outboard tachs with the adjustable poles, 2,4,6,8,12, etc were made to run on 12V DC and not 12V AC. I think you can usually figure out the pulse by dividing the number of magnets in the flywheel by two, but on some engines the number of magnets was the same as the pulse of the tach.

So according to your HondaLine Tachometer, the 250r would be bordering redline at 7500rpm's??

I want to replace the speedo (broken) on my Big Bear with a tach, is there any sort of "factory style" kit to do this with? I want it to look as "factory" as I can, not hacked on or anything, just in case I need to sell the Bear.
