Upgrade Your Royal Enfield Hunter 350 | How to Fit a Rev Counter

Рет қаралды 22,558

6 ай бұрын

This video shows step-by-step how to install a Rev counter (Tachometer) to the Royal Enfield Hunter 350. The kit which includes a tachometer, mounting bracket, fixings and wiring accessories is available from Hitchcocks Motorcycles. This kit is also suitable for installation on the Royal Enfield 350 Meteor.
The video takes us through the stages of unboxing, installing the tachometer onto the Hunter, making all of the electrical connections and the final process for adjusting the tachometer settings.
Many thanks to viewer and subscriber Paul Holmes @paulhomes1682 for pointing out an error with the initial (default factory settings) which had the set and displayed RPM values as to low in relation to Royal Enfield’s stated RPM values for the Hunter 350. Paul’s observations and comments enabled the correct settings to be applied and included in the video.

Very impressed by your professionalism. I have to say that I'm very pleased to see the smoothness of the reading and with this video to instruct me I'm very tempted to get one.

Thanks Peter, I’ve never been told I have neat hands before (thank you), they weren’t particularly neat when I was ‘on the tools’ back in the day when we didn’t used to wear gloves so a smattering of cuts, grazes and dirty finger nails were the order of the day. I still struggle to work wearing gloves on the odd occasion when I do a bit of proper work! 😂 I highly recommend getting one, I think they enhance the look of the Hunter and now it reads correctly I think it will be really useful. Not sure what the oblong window you’re referring to, is it the oblong on the tacho? Great to hear your enjoyed the video and thanks as always for the encouragement. 😁👍🏻

It shows the setting values i.e. the pulses per revolution and the rpm settings you want to set for changing gear e.g. 3000rpm in my case. When not in settings mode, it displays battery voltage and the maximum RPM value recorded. Hope that explains 👍🏻😁

It looks like this style of Tacho could be fitted to any bike using the long stand wire wrapped around the ht plug lead, and giving the instrument a simple 12v feed. It seems it is around £110 or so though as a stand alone item. Very nice fitting instruction video Sir.

@MerciaMoto 6 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching and commenting. Having now installed one, I agree it would be very straightforward to install a generic tacho. I think for some the benefit of the Hitchcocks tacho kit is the wiring accessories c/w plug that fits that auxiliary 12v yet still retains the plug for other accessories, the coil take off wire and the bespoke mountain bracket. I’m going to fit a generic tacho to my Scram and make my own bespoke mounting bracket 👍🏻🙂

Hello Ted, you’re very welcome. Thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment. Link below to the spotlights available from Amazon. They need some modification to fit them to the bike, they don’t come with any fitting instructions or wiring diagrams, but it didn’t take very much working out. I’m about to fit another identical set to Paul’s Hunter and I’ve modified and added a couple of parts to make them plug and play. I’ve posted photographs as a community post which will hopefully allow you to see what I’ve done. I’m going to fit a set to my Scram in the near future and when I do I will make a video showing how to make the loom and fit the lamps. It’s great having you along with us 👍🏻😁 Link to the LED lamps: amzn.eu/d/0qynBqp

I would love to see Hitchcocks make this kit for the Scram 411. I would remove the tripper on my 2023 and replace with this, which would be much more useful.

@MerciaMoto 6 ай бұрын

I might try and fit one to my Scram in front of the Speedo and the tripper. But rather than buying the kit from Hitchcocks I may buy a stand alone tacho (comes with bracket) but I would make my own bespoke bracket. The only thing I would need to ascertain is how to take the pulse from the coil but I’m confident that would be an easy solution. The tacho’s only use 3 wires 12v +ve and -ve (pick up at the auxiliary connection in the headlamp) and the pulse wire from the coil. If I do fit one, I’ll make a how to video.

Afternoon John, thank you for war hing and commenting. Hitchcocks state it will fit the Meteor 350 and the Hunter. I suspect this is more to do with the bracket provided as part of the kit rather than the tacho itself. I think (but could be wrong) that the Daytona tacho will fit most models of bike, it’s the wiring accessories and bracketry that the Hitchcocks kits contain that are model specific. The Sat Nav bracket is a bog standard RAM mount, lots available on Amazon, let me know if you need a link. Hope i’ve answered your questions? 👍🏻cheers 🙂
