I have a circuit somewhere to get that tach working for you.
I had the same one on my KZ1000, worked great. I'll dig it up for you if you are interested.

Im running a Autometer on mine without any problems.....just had to get the Dynatek Tach Adapter...it was $21.

The two red eyes goto the coils ( one on each ) The large pinkish plug goes to the input to the tach...just one wire.

I like how you mounted that.
Here is my post with the explanation of how I did it.
Probably works the same or very similarly to the dyna patch cord. I never realized they made one.

ya, works the same as patch cord you made....
On mounting....I just used 1-piece of flat steel and bent a bracket. Its mounted to the shock bolt. Very sturdy mounting...dosent move...I try to use KISS when making something....Keep It Simple Stupid..... :laugh:

I road bike for 4 months just about every day...the tach worked fine every time.
I also called Autometer and they couldnt find a bowling ball in a brown paper bag....bunch of dick heads.
I did have to snip two wires that were looped on back of tack per instructions....brown and orange I think.

Make sure you connect tach adapter wires to neg or non-powered side of coil.

Just rem those resistors and diodes....etc.... have a Polarity to them....they can only go one way....if you install them backwards they wont work.....it shows the Polarity on the plastic package and there should be a line imprinted on the item to show which way they go.....
