"Acewell suggest you wrap the tach sensor wire around one of the plug wires, but I found it was a better solution to connect it directly to one of the coil trigger wires, works like a charm."

In my Acewell directions, they provided both methods and recommended the direct solder to coil termiantion... Hmmm... Either way, for higher degree of pick up accuracy, direct termination is the way to go no doubt....

No, he's trying to make his stock electronic tach work with a Dyna S, at least that's how I read it.

I just installed an Acewell 2802 (same as yours) on my GPz 1100 that also has a stock electronic tach - Acewell suggest you wrap the tach sensor wire around one of the plug wires, but I found it was a better solution to connect it directly to one of the coil trigger wires, works like a charm.

Bully, the coil mod won't matter as it only concerns the 12V supply to the coils, I believe connecting the tach sensor wire to either of the coil trigger wires will work.

" he has an electronic tach that reads off one of the coil trigger wires"...

Same here with my Acewell Speedo/Tach unit.

So this is actually a "Dyna S rpm gauge "...
Meaning a RPM display unit?

If so, Whoa, didn't know they made gauges.... Learn something new everyday... cool!

Sorry for my confusion...

Thanks for the update...

Where'd you order the Acewell!?!?!?!? That's EXACTLY what I want on my Mille!!

Pick up mounting.....

For size referencing...

Small unit and retain your tach and Speedo....

I made a bracket for where the old bracket mounted. For tach I soldered on a quick connect like the stock kawi and plugged it into the extra plug for one of the coils. For the speedo I used the Kawi model adapter and with minimal modification attached it into the stock hub speedo drive. Took some time and a GPS but I was able to calibrate the number of turns required to get the appropriate speed displayed.

Only problems I've had is the speedo wires got too close to the front wheel and I ended up buying a new speedo wire set. The other is interference from the spark plugs on the tach. I changed the plugs to resistor type plugs to fix this.

Overall I am very happy with mine and as a bonus I like the lower profile it has over the stock gauge set.

I'll buy your stock tach...if you don't need it.

I have the same model as OMR.
It came with 3 different magnets. One was small enough to drop into one of the allen bolt heads for the rotor. I applied a couple of coats of clear nail polish over it as a little security measure.

It allowed me to make a smaller pickup mount bracket that tucked in pretty well.

LCD tach sucks but the digital tach reading is nice. Had the local cops shoot me with radar after I programmed in tire circumference. Only 1mph difference. Close enough.

One thing I wish the guage had was a setting for default mode. When you fire up the bike, you have to select the mode for the digital tach read out. Not a big deal but kind of an annoyance to have to remember to do that every time. I can be done rolling down the road as well.
