| A Top Gun kit ready for action! |
Ever miss having a tachometer on your DR650?
Top Gun is now offering a complete tachometer kit for the DR650. The kit contains the
following:
Features of the Top Gun Tachometer Kit
The tachometer is a fully sealed, self-contained unit with a digital RPM display. When
the engine is not running, the display switches to an engine hour-meter displaying total
engine run time. The unit is powered by a 3 volt lithium battery that should last 5 years
or more! Because it is self-contained, there's no need to tap into your DR's electrical
system. The tachometer uses an antenna wire wrapped several times around the
outside of the spark plug wire to calculate RPM - making installation a breeze!
The bracket mounts directly to the handlebar clamps, and upgraded handlebar
mounting bolts are provided. The bracket is designed to fit either the forward mounting
bolts (standard handlebar) or rear bolts (aftermarket handlebar with no crossbar) as
desired.
We carry two different versions of the tachometer. The "fast" version updates RPM 2-3
times per second. The "standard" version updates RPM every 2 seconds. Both
versions have a built in hour-meter, but it is resettable on the standard version only.
Some of our more, shall we say, "experienced" riders appreciate the slightly larger
digits and more stable display (the digits don't change as rapidly) on the standard
model. Both models are virtually identical, and are the same size, shape and weight.
The combined package, with fasteners, wire covering, etc., weighs only 12 ounces!
Both versions have been "Baja Tested" with outstanding results!
Proper functioning of the tachometer is greatly enhanced by using fresh, properly
gapped spark plugs, along with ensuring your spark plug wires and caps are in good
condition. Fewer wraps of the antenna wire are "better" and will reduce the chance of
picking up too much signal which can cause an erroneous display. We recommend
trying 3 wraps, while keeping enough slack in the antenna wire for a fourth if needed.
The antenna wire can then be trimmed to the proper length.
The tachometer has a one-year limited warranty if it fails to function properly due to a
defect in materials or workmanship. Damage to wires due improper care, use, or
modification is not covered.
Please note:

Please note:
- The bracket was designed to fit the stock handlebar mounting clamps.
Aftermarket clamps or risers may require some modification. - Caution: Keep wire clear of extremely hot engine parts such as the muffler, etc.
Wire damage (cuts or burns) will cause the wire to short and your tachometer will
stop working. Wire damage is not under warranty. - The wire lead from the tachometer is coaxial and should not be modified.
- The antenna wire should not touch any metal part of the spark plug. This is
nearly impossible with our kit, but something to keep in mind while
troubleshooting a maintenance problem or when servicing your bike.
