ok i couldn't figure out where to post this thread. so the other day while thumpin' around i noticed the tach face was shaking. the screws that hold tach face down were loose. so thinking to my self, i'll have to tighten those up. well on a ride last night they decided to come all the way out. so the tach face is just moving freely in side the tach housing. ok, how do i open it? it's sealed.  new tach??? |

My bikes got a loose SCREW too!I've got the same problem! Just one of the two on mine tho. I got frustrated with trying to access it and out it off. Need to fix it as the loose screw is marring the lens.

Hi, It can be done but it's difficult. Years ago I took the ring off the outside of the tacho by gently prising it as you go around. It is easy to damage the ring and it may not go back quite the way you want it to. Ther are people around who specialise in this sort of thing. Look in the local phone book where you under instrument repairs, instrument calibration this sort of thing. A lot of people won't touch them. SR  |

Hello there , sounds like it could be time to look for a new taco(make mine a mild beef) , seriously though . Ive got 3 & theyre all knackered , 2 are completely stuffed coz I tried to repair them . I wonder if a retrofit could be done ? Ive just got mine in place for looks . Let me know if you ever find 1 (get a couple) . All that thumpin over many years things just have to get tired dont they ? See ya Davo .
