Title: Rev counter issues....
Post by: JoolsGrant on 07 June 2013, 07:06:01 pm: Hi,
new member to the forum here, hoping someone may be able to offer me some advice regarding a problem I'm having with my rev-counter.
the unit keeps cutting out, needle drops back down to zero revs, then flicks up to 3000 revs, runs as it should for a few seconds, then cuts out again. Keeps doing this constantly (also seems to affect the fuel gauge too, but none of the other instruments).
Apologies if this subject has already been dealt with on the forum, I did have a look through to see if anyone had asked about similar problems but drew a blank, any help or advice on this matter would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks in advance for any help you folks may be able to offer.
Jools

It is either disconnected, has a broken wire or possibly a short circuit in the wiring.

Post by: Andy Smith FZS on 17 June 2013, 09:45:10 pm: I've got a rev counter problem aswell, it happens at 6000rpm n drops to 0 on the counter very quickly. Bikes running good so I'm guessing its just a loose connection.

Post by: unfazed on 17 June 2013, 11:31:14 pm: It advances the ignition timing off idle as you open the throttle. The bike has an a Elctronic Control Unit of sorts under the tail section and under the Toolkit, which Yamaha call the Ignitor, It is a little more than your basic electronic ignition as it also controls the ignition timimg based on engine speed and throttle position base on the TPS info. A faulty or wrongly adjusted TPS can often cause a flat spot around 7000 revs.
