How to add a
SenDEC meter
(hours of engine operation with a Tachometer):
by Joe
Schuster
"I mounted the meter on a piece of metal plumbers tape (soft iron
strap,
approximately ).020" thick using Shoe Goop, (a material for
repairing the soles of athletic shoes) and secured the tape under the
the Scotts Damper, using the right hand side damper mounting screw.
I shimmed the left side of the damper with a shim washer out of the same
material.
The tack uses an inductive pickup off of the spark plug lead (4 turns of
wire
provided with the tach). It measures up to 9000 rpm. When
the engine is off, the tack displays the total numbers of operation (not
reset able).

It works great.
Knowing how the engine sounds at various rpms is key to preventing over
rev. Once you become familiar with the sound of your bike at 6, 7,
8, and 9000 rpm, the meter just becomes a hours of operation meter to
help you with major maintenance.

When first seen this picture I promise myself
never will ride on sand or I will need these
beauty on my handlebar. (Envyman)
