I am about to place a fairly comprehensive order with DTT, since I don't want to pay shipping multiple times, I'd like to get it right when I order it now. Can anyone tell me what the twist rate is for the tachometer on a 1982 suzuki gs550L? If not, can anyone tell me how to find out what it has on it. I assume my options are 1:5 or 1:4 but I don't really know what those numbers have a bearing on. Can anyone school me on this? Thanks in advance!
You talking about the speedometer or the tachometer? For a tach, I was under the understanding that as long as its run off the same source it will read the same. I was going to use my CB350 tach on my MB5 until I realized that the CB gets its reading from the cam shaft and the MB5 the crank. It would have read double.
At least this is my understanding of a cable actuated gauge, but not sure if its 100% correct or not.
But then you throw the trans gear reduction ratio into the equation... Would it not be better to remove the timing cover and rotate the engine one revolution and see what the tach drive does?

Do the ton has customer service? I just ordered the 1:4 since that's what I thought and it seemed that you guys agree. I asked some city cycles and the guy told me he, "didn't have access to info for that bike.". Which is whatever, I an just going to wing it.
