that's nice. I was looking at the regular one. I still like the needle waving at me.

I agree I would rather have an analog gage also but as Bob Barker say's "The price is right" :D

I like analogs better too; they are much easier to read at a glance.

Even with the regular one, it would be easy to set the Tiny Tach to work at over 10K RPM. Looks like the tach is adjustable for angle of crank per firing. Just set it from 360 to 180 and double the output (5000RPM shown = 10,000 RPM actual.)

you have to get the commercial tiny tach.. its up to 20 grand rpms LOL
All i use that tach for is to make sure im getting the full amount of rpms thru the 1/8 and 1/4 mile.

I just got a call from a friend who does car stuff. he said that he put his moped on his car dyno LOL Its a 114cc and it got 17hp. How accurate is it? im not sure but i know that my bike at the track is like almost 2 seconds faster! So when i get this motor done il go there and take a few dyno pulls for fun! Im hoping that i can see what the peak rpm that it makes without losing power. It wil be a good test for that tiny tach too, that way i can compare the difference between them. Once I get that figured out then ill know how to tune in and what rpms to keep it at.

I personally think that any tach wil help you if you use it in the right manner of tuning!
