Review on πŸ”˜ Equus 6086 2.5-inch Mini Tachometer, Black by David Estevez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Incorrect information on manufacturer's website

I need a tachometer for my single cylinder motorcycle. require an inductive pickup) so with no useful information in the Revain description I researched the product on the Equus website (equus dot com) before placing an order. Since the 6086 fitment guide available for download from the Equus website clearly states that it is compatible with single cylinder engines and has an inductive pickup, I placed my order with confidence. However, when installing the unit I found that the 6086 only works with 4, 6 and 8 cylinder engines and can only be connected to the speed signal connection - there is no inductive pick-up. It turns out that the 6086 installation instructions on the Equus website actually refer to a different model. The printed instructions that came with the 6086 are correct and clearly state that the unit is limited to 4, 6 or 8 cylinder engines with tach signal connections - just by reading the correct info I already have that Bought the wrong speedometer. I should also mention that none of the Equus instructions list the speedometer model they refer to - not very helpful. So don't repeat my mistake. If you need a tach for something other than a 4, 6 or 8 cylinder, or if you don't have a tach signal connector to plug it into, the Equus 6086 WILL NOT WORK.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
