ANOTHER TACH ISSUE

[UTAH INFANTRY]

I HAVE READ THE POSTS AND TRIED THE GUIDANCE GIVEN BY MANY. BUT I STILL HAVE NOT FOUND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CHECKED THE TAIL LIGHT, AND CHECKED THE FUSE. I DO NOT HAVE MAGNET TANK BAGS/POUCHES.

WHEN THE BIKE IS OFF THE NEEDLE SITS WHERE IT IS SUPPOSE TO. WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION IT IS WHERE IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE. BUT WHEN I START IT UP, THE NEEDLE JUMPS TO 3K, AND WHEN TURNING THE THROTTLE THE NEEDLE MOVES ONLY SLIGHTLY. WHEN SHUTTING OFF THE IGNITION THE NEEDLE PAUSES, THEN SLOWLY RETURNS TO ITS PROPER REST POINT.

HAS ANYONE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE?

Your tach may be hosed and need replacing.  Iirc, there is one on ebay now.
