Kitaco makes one.

i've got the rec counter, but im sure how to wire it up

[Gutty]

Assuming it's the same as a go-kart taco, hook one wire up to earth, and the other up to your sparky lead.

cheers mate, i'll give that a go.

I use a mini tach that's available in the US for around 40 dollars on my XR-650L--uses it's own non-replaceable battery (a throwaway unit, supposed to last five years) and it also keeps track of the number of hours run. One wire hookup, too--just wrap a wire around the plug wire a few turns and then push the wire into the tach/hourmeter's groove. Definitely worth the bucks and simple to install.

Hey woodsrat, where did you purchase it at.

[woodsrat]

A place in Maryland called Jack's Small Engines although you can get them from lawn mower shops.

Note, the update speed on these things isn't exactly snappy. They are made to monitor tractors, where you set one speed and leave it there. I think the update rate is once every half a second, or once a second?

[Jimmy Pang]

yeah that is true..... the rpm is update every 2 seconds..........
