how do I hook up a tach on a G9

is ther one you would recommend

The Equus 8068 or any tiny tach will work, and they both hook to the plug wire. The 8068 is nice.

Dave i'v always hooked tachs up to the negative side of the coil on vehicles. are you saying hook up to the wire that goes to the plug?

Yep--they are both inductive pick-up. The tiny tach has a wire that you wrap around the plug wire. They work, but are slow reacting. The 8068 has a clamp device that goes around the plug wire. It is adjustable for 1-12 cyl and it works great for me. I don't think a "normal" tach will work.

I use the yamaha brand that has the tach and hour meter in one unit. All you do is wrap a small gauge wire around the plug wire a few turns and secure with zip tie. Works well and reminds you when service intervals are needed.

I installed the yamaha branded tach and hour meter. It worked OK for a week and now reads one half of the rpm. It is like it switched to 2 stroke mode.

Do you have a link to this Yamaha tach?

I have a moose tiny tach. It works but I am questioning its readings. I think it reads too high. Going to check another brand to double check

Dave do you know if there are any other available? I like the one you have silver but would like the redline tang/pointer?
Also does anyone else know if the normal/regular tach will work?4/6/8 cylinder models?
