Route the wires down from the rearside of the tachometer
housing through the upper fork clamp wire and hose guide and
into the rear of the headlight shell.
Connect the black and red tachometer wires inside the headlight
housing as indicated in the schematic below.
Route the green tachometer wire under the fuel tank and to the
bottom of the front ignition coil. Remove the black wire connector
from the front coil and install the green piggyback spade
connector from the tachometer on the coil and reinstall the black
coil wire onto the piggyback connector’s male spade terminal.
Secure the wire with the supplied cable tie. Reinstall the chrome
coil cover and tighten the set screw.
Reconnect the 3-pin headlight plug onto the back of the headlight

making sure to hook the top edge first and firmly snapping the
bottom edge closed. Align the mounting holes and re-secure the

Start the engine and check the operation and lighting of the
tachometer.
Be sure the ignition to the motorcycle is
turned off prior to making any electrical
connections
