No, and neither do the vast majority of the population. The ones who do, have a tachometer. What? You don't have a tachometer? What kind of bike/engine/carby restorer/rebuilder are you? > ever built and played with RC aircraft? No, and neither do an even more vast majority of the population.

Back off the throttle, pull in the clutch, give the gear lever a kick... nope, no tacho ;) Nev.. '08 DL1000K8

The ones who > do, have a tachometer. So the worldwide production of Tachometers must stop now because all the people that will ever need one, replace one etc has dried up? I think the argument that the neither do the vast majority of the population is a little mute, if things always needed the vast majority, very little would ever see final production. All that is need is a market. >What? You don't have a tachometer? What kind > of bike/engine/carby restorer/rebuilder are you?

Back off the throttle, pull > in the clutch, give the gear lever a kick... nope, no tacho ;) you'll keep :-P mh
