Locked Re: Whiny tach on 1976 R90/6

 

Mine used to do the same thing and I fixed it by dripping fishing reel oil into the top of the cable after disconnecting from the speedo. The "correct police" will tell you not to lubricate the cable, but it has worked for me for over 45 yrs of airhead riding.?

Recently I've noticed the tach starting to whine/chatter at times.? I loosened the cable and lubed it, but I think it's in the head.? If I loosen the nut on the top of the cable where it enters the tach housing the noise goes away. ?

A couple years ago I pulled the assembly to do a minor repair on the speedo which required a little epoxy where some of my mileage numbers stopped rotating.? That was fairly simple.

Before I pull apart the tach I was wondering if anyone had any advise. ?

I'm guessing the lube is dried up and maybe just needs some attention.
