I connected the axles today and temporarily the wires and took it for a spin, the power is incredible and it is very responsive but, for some reason the rev counter isn't working,does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

It's a slow weekend for responces. It's a holiday weekend here in he states. Presidents' Day.

I don't know the answer but give it a few for people to return.

So nobody knows about the tach, it also seems that the battery isnt charging?

I sorted out the issues with the battery, but after riding on the farm the 2 middle cylinders lost their spark, I cleaned all the connections but still, no luck.

Maybe bad plugs??

If you lost the middle 2 cly....you probably lost a coil, fj1200 1 and 4 share a coil 2 and 3 share a coil....first check and make sure you have a good ground to the body of the coil (you can run a wire from the mounting post directly to a good engine ground). next I would swap the wiring on the 2 coils, after you do that you should lose cly 1 and 4...if so bad coil, most of the time it is due to grounding.... but have had the coils go bad too.

BTW....the grounding problem can also affect your tach...

Oh yeah.... What he said! Ha

Thanks, I will try that as soon as I have time.

I finaly got the time, or the courage to test the other coil, both work but the middle one wont fire when connected. After a short while of testing both the coil that doesn't fire as well as the ic-ignitor get a bit warm.
Thanks, Erik.
