Rev counter

[Mr White]

Hi I own sachs xtc, my rev counter is dead.
Can I use any rev counter as a replacement?
Or where do i find cheap universal one?

I'd also like to know if i can fit a universal or replacement rev counter for a very old CG125.
It has had a replacement engine casing with a rev counter, so i have the bottom end but no dial.

Hi

Most older bikes use rev counters that are cable driven. On these you need one that is geared the same.

Newer ones tend to be electronically driven. Either from a signal from the ECU or just by a pickup on the coil. With these you just need one that provides the same signal, and from the coil that pretty much only means one with the same number of cylinders / coils (ie most 4s use 2 coils with a wasted spark system).

All the best

Mine is cable driven.
Any ideas where I can get my hands on a rev counter with CG125 or similar gearing?
I have looked for CG125 specific dials (with counters) but with no luck, strangely.

Thanks,

Phil

Hi

Does the CG125 even have a mechanical drive for the speedo.

All the best
