And don't forget, if it hits 10,000rpm switch the engine on quickly then off until you are ready to adjust it to put the needle back towards the left side, otherwise it's front fairing shield off, then remove clocks and take it all apart to move the needle back.

If you switch off the ignition with the needle at 10,000rpm the needle will simply drop down clockwise, which is not good.

Sorry to be a pain, but just to clarify the above; do you mean that if the needle hits 10k with the ignition turned on (engine not running) then before turning the ignition off actually start the engine running before turning off and adjusting?

Thinking of check in mine but really don't wanna strip the clocks.

Basically when you turn the ignition off the rev counter needle will just drop with gravity, so whichever way it is leaning it will fall.
If it falls to the right you're on the wrong side of the 0rpm pin, so when you start up it just bounces up and down on it, but goes nowhere.


When you start the engine the needle goes to the tickover position (around 1200rpm) so then it's safe to switch off.


It's not a major, just an unnecessary nuisance. Front fairing shield off, clocks off and apart, then push the needle back round by hand then put all back together again.
