I used white lithium grease on the gears using a qTip and acid brush. ?And I used a 3 in 1 oil drops elsewhere.?
Both are smooth and quiet now.?

I had the same with my 76 R90/6 with the tach. ?Erratic and noisy.?
I took it apart and greased it and also did the speedometer. ? All working great. ?I found some photos online and could look for the links.?
I¡¯m in CT. ?I heard there was someone in NH or VT I believe and heard of someone in Milwaukee that rebuilds them.?
Mine was all dried out. ?My bike has about 40,000.?

Last weekend I took my 1975 R90/S on a short 400-mile R.T.
trip to Maine. After the trip, my bike only has 8,100 miles on it. ?On my return trip, the speedometer started to
make lots of funny noises. The odometer appears to be working properly buy speedometer
readings became wildly inaccurate. While I¡¯m having the speedo overhauled, I
think it will be best to service the tachometer too. Can anyone recommend a
good speedometer overhaul shop?
