Most important thing is a 0.5 sec refresh, there are plently of slower ones but you really need this.

 

A few options - this one - Tiny-Tach: Diesel Tachometers from ITCO

has the advantage of not needing a wire to wrap round the HT lead.

 

I use this - TTO Tach-Hour Meter at Trail Tech Home

it uses a wire and is really for a trail bike without a rev counter but works really well and is more cost effective than the above.

 

I thought I wouldn't use mine but it is invaluable - found out my ear is around 1,000rpms down on correct setting - safe but not as good for performance.

 

I'm sure someone owes me a beer by now - all this advice I am giving:thumbup1:

You'd better add me to that list as well, I've been looking for a Tach for ages.

 

I e-mailed Tiny-Tach last night at 10-30pm asking for an agents address in the UK, recieved a return email from them at 7-18 am this morning with a price. If I confirmed the order by email, the tach will be sent out today, with an invoice for payment on delivery.

 

Now that's service and my tach is in the post (recorded delivery).

 

Sorted and I owe another beer......

Check with your Stihl dealer. I bet that you can get one through them, I have seen a Tach with stihl imprinted on it.

And they know how to charge for that at Stihl.......

The refresh rate is pretty slow on my Stihl tacho, so you're better off with the Tiny Tach anyway regardless of price.
