- Easy how to video on wiring one of these speedometers. I've wired a few of these speedometers in the past and for the price of them I am surprised to say that they are all still fully functioning, one 2 years after fitting!
So with that we are putting one on this Honda motorcycle project.
You can purchase one through Amazon from this link:

Thanks for the fuel sensor tip I have been looking everywhere to figure out how to sort it.
Hi Mate any chance you can send me instructions how to connect all wire? Please
Buenas amigo donde puedo conseguir el tacómetro compre uno y no me sale la confirmación del trip
Hello good day. please could you tell me the color of the cord RPM revolutions per minute? can it be blue and orange? is that I can not find it. a greeting
Hi everything has worked but the speedo as no red green for neutral light have u any idea if yours could be wrong colour thanks
Hi. There is a chance the wires are coloured slightly differently on yours. Did you get any instructions at all with yours or have any left over wires? Should have a number of wires for gear indicators.
how to connect the water temp?
everything work perfectly fine for me exept the speed, I only see my speed when I turn on high beam or flasher im kinda lost ( the signal positive, power and negative are pluged )
You video helped out amazing just 1 question where does the engine management wire (red/black ) go to its the only wire left that I haven't done
does this tachometer have the ability to set the ODO to the old tachometer odo value ?
Hi I don't know if your still answering questions on the installation of the speedometer iv followed your videos and you made it really easy but I have a problem iv used my speedo pickup already came with my bike the problem is the speedometer keeps self checking but only after the bike is started the self check is random and shaking the wires don't make it self check any quicker
Can you help please 🙏
Hola donde lo puedo comprar que no sea chino
can you install this on a 450-700cc motorcycle/quad? I Doubt it can measure the speed?
Hi mate. Yes you can though mounting might be tricky unless you can get a digital speedo drive fitted to the quad which some have. You could mount the magnets that come with it behind the wheel and mount the sensor so when the wheels spin the sensor will read the magnets. Only real way to get accurate speed reading with this method though would be to tune the speedometer settings using your GPS on your phone.
im stuck with the 2 wire deal as im using a electric bike set up
Hello
I would like to know if this speedometer would work on a ducati 696 2014
Nice vid fella I’ve done all the wiring slightly different clock to yours but basically the same when I hold button then turn ignition on it goes to set up I’m having terrible trouble knowing what to input it’s a 17” wheel 120/70/17 it currently shows 1451 which I assume is for a 17” I’m baffled to correctly input the 1st option and 2nd option for the speedo setup I see a lot with 2 magnet setup I only got the 1 magnet which won’t go on so I just bought standard magnets😩🙏👍
Hi mate.....not sure if you can respond and help me out?...I have fitted this to a CBR400RR but I have an issue with RPMS,when idle the rpm goes full clock but when I ride it then it cuts out at 5g rpm in each gear?...wired into plug coil packs so have I done this correctly or have got to trace another colour wire to get full revs?.....Any help us much appreciated Thanks
Kev
How to you like the speedometer? Does it show well in sunlight I have one and doesn't show well in the sun
Any recommendation for a miniature tach that runs off the standard Honda peak voltage style signal rather than pulse signal.
Hi I’ve fitted this to my quad today
My speedo won’t save the time or mph settings , I can get it to turn on by ignition I used a brown wire . Do I need to run a wire direct from battery to the purple wire?
Also how do you stop the fuel light flashing mate
Hey buddy great video. I have an issue with my original wire diagram on my Yamaha mt03 2013. The fuel, indicators, high beam and backlight all have there own positive wire but then all need to run back to the black and white negative. As I connect fuel it is fine but when I wire up my high beam and run it of the same negative to get it reading, the fuses blow. Is there any other way you suggest I wire it so it doesn’t blow a fuse but have everything working? Cheers
Sorry I just saw this. Glad you found us on Instagram and I could assist there. Sorry for missing your comment
hi I took your advice and have brought a universaldigital speedo drive.I just want to know about the
magnet setting,what will I need to set that to? Thanks in advance , great video 😊
So what did you wire the gear cables into?
You had mentioned about grounding out the fuel wire if you don't have the sensor in your tank. I've got to do that cuz I don't have one. Does it actually turn the fuel light on the speedometer off? Or does it not do anything
Hi mate. If you ground it out all it does is show that the tank is full on the gauge, that way you won't have it constantly flashing.
Cool. Gonna give that a shot. Thanks!!
@@srhmusic13 No problem! Send us a few pictures on our social media or tag us on Instagram @alpha9five with how it looks when it's installed. Be good to see it 👍🏻
can it be installed on CBR1000 2004
Hi mate, yes it can!
Hi! Any clue on how to get the oil light to work ? There are no cables in my loom (from the gauge) that says oil.
Very helpful video! Any chance you could send me a link for that universal bracket? Thanks!
Is yours a cbr125r bike? Btw really nice informative video. Thanks for sharing
Hi Alpha, I got me a different unit from China.... the directions are obviously a google translate job, but im managing so far. got most things working, except for RPM and Speed readout. My bike, an 03 katana 600, has a built in speed sensor, two wires from it, Orange w red tracer and a pink, where will I wire these in? to the 3 wires for the magneto speed sensor? grounding the ground out ofc. Or do I need to get a similar speed sensor down on the wheel axle like yours? I wont use the magnets, I dont trust it to stay attached :) Any help would be epic dude. Thanks in advance.
Odin.
sir can you pls help me.. what wire for d clock and where to connect? thankyou
I'm not sure what wire you are referring to. There is a diagram of wires in the video
Como puedo poner el kilometraje viejo del tablero al tablero nuevo??
Magnet glued to a disc on a drill. Wheel setting set to largest on speedometer. Spin the magnet past the sensor using the drill until mileage is correct.
Sorry my Spanish is not very good so I hope I understand you correctly and that you understand me 😅
@@Alpha-wu5qx entiendo tu español
Entonces puedo usar un taladro para poner el km viejo mi sensor de velocidad no es que viene con el tablero del video no es como un tornillo es otro modelo
What did you wire the gear indicator wires to? I can't find any information in this specifically. I'm on a gs500 which never had a gear indicator to start with, not sure if I can actually use it, Tia.
Hi mate. If your bike didn't come with a gear indicator then there is no where to hook them up to. But there is aftermarket gear indicators that you can use. They are cheap on ebay but personally we've not used one. I just cap off the wires and used the neutral light of none were fitted.
Might be worth having a look at the gear indicators on eBay and see how it works for you. GS500's are great bike by the way. Very much like them done as cafe racers!
@@Alpha-wu5qx thought you'd say that, thanks for confirming though. I've been looking on eBay but most are utilising magnets to signal up and down shifts which wouldn't work with this unit. I know of some others that use the speed and rpm but have had no luck in working out how that work. What I need is something that uses the same design as this. Not the end of the world just would be nice to have. Also funny you should say that as I'm scrambler/flat tracking this GS. Cheers for your reply 👍
I do remember seeing something about magnets when I looked into it quite awhile ago, probably why I never tried it. Even the speedo magnets on all these units I replace with a digital speedo drive. Not really looked into any other aftermarket gear indicators but my first bike I ever owned didn't have one so I overlooked them ever since lol. Definitely show us the finished product of your GS!
Hello. I bought the same digital cockpit but did not receive the wiring diagram.
Does anybody have this diagram and would like to send it to me by mail or picture? Thanks in advance!
Peter.P.
Can yiu change it to mph??
Yes there is an option to change it to MPH. It should be in the instructions, I can't quite remember how to change it to MPH but it is very easy to without messing up settings. I can have a look later.
Also useful if you decided to travel abroad where the have kph 😅
Hi i have same speedo any chance of a bit of help i have everything worlkng apart from speed and dpnt want to use the magnet it came with when my bike already has a speed sensor just wanting to know which is speedo sensor wire on this speedo and which is positive etc thanks
My speedo has a brown a blue and a black wire going to original speedo magnet what came with speedo i need to put wires to my original bikes cluster instead of magnet do u know which of the wires is which
The way I figure it out is finding the original wiring diagram for your bike and have a look at which functions are for the different speedo wires. You can play with it until you have a signal. Tuning wise it's a bit iffy, you'll have to get a GPS speedo and play with the settings match that.
My bike has both the Speed sensor built in, and RPM wire. Yet i am having trouble getting the dash to read either signal. I dont know why. Also this dash has two wires for RPM but my bike only has 1 . Have you got some info that could help me in that regard
Hi. Sorry for the late reply, I didn't get a notification. What bike is it you have?
Hii! How did you set up the rpm
Hi, just fitted one of these to my Honda CB500 1999. The instructions that I received are for a similar unit but not the one I have bought. I have the same one as you so my question is about the water temperature readout.
I have two wires in my loom that go to the original analog temp gauge, the digital gauge has only one wire ( Blue/White), do I ground out the other wire? In addition, I have yet to see an actual reading on the digital clocks referring to the engine's coolant temperature, it shows temp when the key is first turned when doing a diagnostic, but after that, I can't access the temperature readout display in any menu. I have assumed that as I have not wired it up correctly it will not display. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
regards
Steve
Hi mate. Sorry for delayed reply, has been a busy couple of days. I did have a quick look for a wiring diagram for you bike but with no luck, though I think I have one on file somewhere.
Usually though one wire will be ground, one will be to the gauge. If you're having trouble another option is to replace the temperature sensor with the same thread that will fit this gauge. I know there are options for Honda that will fit.
Have you looked to see which wire it was that went to the old gauge?
@@Alpha-wu5qx Hi buddy, made a typo on my other post, I referred to the coolant wire as blue and white, instead of green and white, everything else applies though. I'm suspicious of my purchased digital clocks as my wire is not green and white but looks green and yellow. I've included a link so you can see. Ignore the multiple connector blocks, great tip of yours makes a much cleaner install.
drive.google.com/file/d/1Sl39X7e_BY7Tm7f6JMD1KLNeTDDzrTn3/view?usp=drivesdk
On your clocks does the temperature display itself all the time or do you have to select it?
If my clocks don't have a coolant function do you know how I can test the clocks to find out exactly what the green and yellow wire does?
I have an engine oil warning light, no mention of one in the dodgy instructions, how can I make the oil light work?
Sorry for all the questions.
Regards
Steve
Anyone put it on a 95 yamaha fzr 600r?
How did you hook up the sensor so it actually shows the Rpms & Speed? Also having trouble with the fuel light
Hi. What part of the RPM are you having issues with? I've another video on speed settings etc. The RPM gauge can be hooked up to the positive side of your coil or previous wire for RPM of there was one. Then in settings select the amount of cylinders you have. The fuel light is an negative wire. If you don't have a fuel sensor you can just ground it out to the frame. If you do have a fuel sensor it will attach to the negative side of you fuel sensor.
I have no clue why it wouldn’t show when I hooked it up to my rpm wire but I have to get back in that CDI or Ignition coil I’ll give it a shot thank you!
Have a look at the settings and make sure it's set up right for the number of cylinders your bike has. If that don't work then try the coil method. It should work off the old RPM signal wire though.
Hey I’m trying to connect my wire for the rpms but don’t know where can you describe in detail where you put that wire. Do you wrap it around the coil wire or cut into it or? I have a mechanical rpm currently.
Hi. Best bet is to put it into the positive side of your coil wires (not the actual plug wire). Strip a fair bit off it and wrap it round the connecting pin and then start your bike just to test it works and picks up a signal, if all looks good then wire it in permanently to that wire.
How did you save the clock? My speedometer clock keeps on resetting everytime i start the engine.
Hello, I replied to you on Instagram earlier. Didn't see this til now. Glad I could solve your issue! Let us know how the rest of the installation goes 👍
Rpm wont show on a bmw k100 project :/
Hi mate. Where have you got it wired to? And have you changed number of cylinders in the settings?
how to connect that fuel, engine while turn off the switch will show that 8:00 - 8:05.
Are you asking how to connect the fuel gauge? I had the tank off in this video but it goes to your fuel wires, usually the ground. If you have no fuel tank or gauge, then connect to any ground and it will show full. Sorry for the late reply, I am on here but your comment didn't appear in notifications. If you need any help you can message us on Facebook or Instagram and we will help you step by step. 👍
@@Alpha-wu5qx thanks i get the pattern
@@xtralaagmoto8784 Glad it helped. We will be doing more videos soon, if you have any parts you want help to fit then chances are we can do a video on nearly anything. We do a lot of custom motorcycles with lots of different parts. We are currently moving our workshop to a bigger and better location and will be doing a video at least once a week.
@@Alpha-wu5qx but mate i have a fuel tank?
@@xtralaagmoto8784 The Blue and White wire will go to the negative side of your fuel sensor on your fuel tank 👍🏻
what is the diagram for clock?
Hi mate. I can't quite understand your question. Do you mean setting the clock time?
@@Alpha-wu5qx i mean mate even they off the digital the clock always on screen.
Ah okay. The clock always stays on the screen when the bike is on or off with this model.
Im having a problem on how to connect on my rpm ang fuel guage..kindly show me d diagram
Hi. The diagram is on the video for which coloured wires go where. What model of bike are you trying to fit this to?
I have a CBR 125 05 fancy doin this for me XD Going to blow myself bois :P
If you're anywhere near Essex feel free to bring it down. But honestly you should be fine
Please make sure your audio is good, it’s really hard to understand what you are saying
Appreciate the feedback. I have since updated my audio and the video editor I was using along with my PC.
I will be back soon with lots more videos and have a now have a new workshop. 👍🏻
