The XBR hasn't been used much in the last few weeks but I've been starting it up once a week or so. Started it today and wonder why it said it was ticking over at over 2000 rpm. Took it for a spin up the road and while the engine is running and revving perfectly normally,the rev counter tells me I'm doing just under the red line at 60MPH in top !!!!
The rev counter seem to be showing around twice the actual engine speed. As it's electronic, I assume that it picks up a pulse from the HT coil(?) but as the bike is running fine there isn't anything wrong with that. My guess is that the electronic gismo that converts the pulse into needle movement is shot.
Has anyone else had this? if so is it fixable or do I need to start searching Ebay for a new rev counter!
