The tachometer on my 1973 Yamaha RD350 was sluggish to rise and fall. Got suggestion from viewers to dismantle the tacho and grease internal parts.

Thank you!!! I managed to disassemble my speedo and refit/tighten the screws as well as clean 50+ years of dust off the glass. Legend. 19733 RD250 ❤

Thank you so much for this extremely helpful vid! Saved me from buying a used speedo just because the 2 face plate screws backed out.

The plate screws fell out of mine and were rattling around under the glass. This video showed how to remove the bezel to get it apart. All better now thanks!!!!

Can I ask what liquid you used to degrease and clean the insides with?

@seventiesmetal8673 3 жыл бұрын

I used brake cleaner. Use something that quickly evaporates. Don’t use stuff like WD40 which can leave behind an oil residue

Thanks for making this video! You went a couple steps further than I did with the disassembly. I was also using the drill to test mine and thought I had it working a lot better, so I put it back together. Once it was on the bike it is still slow! Did you put yours back on and try it yet?

@seventiesmetal8673 3 жыл бұрын

I have not put it back on my bike. It’s strange yours slowed down again, have you checked your engine tachometer drive and cable?

@gregorygrimm3310 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, before I took the tach apart I had pulled the cable out of the housing, wiped off the old grease and sprayed it with new lube. Really wish I knew what I was shifting at! I usually shift shortly after I get into the real power, so I'm probably missing out on some of the best fun at the top.

Wish I had an answer for you. I will put my tachometer back on my bike and will update you as to what happened. Try posting your question in a forum, someone might be able to answer.

Did you get to test out the tach yet?

Could u please do on how to stop deceleration backfire on rd350? Thanks for the wonderful tutorials

@seventiesmetal8673 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Engine backfire, not sure how to fix it as I have not experienced it. If I had to take a guess, may be your motorcycle is ejecting unburnt fuel into the exhaust pipes which is igniting. Try to understand why your mixture is not getting ignited inside the cylinder. Could be bad spark plugs or improper air:fuel mixture.
