How to fix a CBX250RS-E tachometer
So, the tacho on your CBX250RS has stopped working, eh? All fine and then completely dead? Mine did that, this is what I found..
The manual states to try the signal feed from the coil, which was fine. Then to try the feed to the clock itself, which was fine. Here the manual stops, but my tacho was still broken.. Step 1, remove the clocks!
Step 2 - remove all the screws.
This will free the individual clocks, including the tacho. Step 3 is to check out the tacho because it's broken somehow.
Waaaiiiittt...
What's going on here.. Is that wire loose?
Yep. Made in 1983, broken in 2016 because of a poor solder joint. I guess this is out of warranty? Let me just resolder this into its hole..
Bam. Fixed. 1980's electrics are the best!
