Good Morning! Brand spanking new member so please tolerate me. I have an irritating problem with my CBR600F3(T) tacho. It works grand up until about 7 to 8k then begins to go nuts, bouncing from nearly end stop to end stop. If I drop the revs back off, the tacho starts to behave normally again. I've read a few forum replies regarding tacho problems but have never read one associated with this type of problem. Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Electronic or spinning cable drive?

It's electronic.

Some possible options / causes:

I believe it's electrical. Pity it isn't a cable, would be easier to sort out .

@Ste, had a look at the first link, THAT looks hopeful! Rusty screws! That could be it, cheers.

Just as a quick sanity check; prove the charging voltage isn't going ape. Stick a meter across the battery, rev to 5k and ensure the terminal voltage stays below 15.5v (for double proof rev to 7-8k).

Something easy to eliminate (well, easy if all okay!).
