klaser23 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Alright I cannot find any info at all on this subject so hopefully someone can help me out. I have an 06 Banshee that I curretly run on 1/4 mile drag strip. It's all bracket racing so being consistent is a must which leads me to my question. I want to put a tach on my Banshee but I'm not sure what I'm getting into. I've looked them and found some for a 2 cylinder engine but it says that my quad must emit an RPM signal, I'm just not sure how to go about this. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They build very inexpensive digital tacks witch clamp on your spark plug wire and detect the pulse. I have run a few, I think RMATV has them or any dealer that carries parts unlimited can order them. here is a link Edited June 10, 2008 by slc_hillshooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have run a few, I think RMATV has them or any dealer that carries parts unlimited can order them.here is a link that tach is for a single cyl motor. your best bet is gonna be a trail tech vapor. they are back lit with tach,speedo,shift lights,temp sensor,hrs meter,etc.(digital display) you can find them on ebay for around 100.00 or so the thing about a banshee motor is its what is called a dead fire motor. both cyls fire at the same time. and the trail tech has an adjustment for this. when you get the vapor and are setting it up it will ask you what the ppr(pulse per revoloution)is and set it to 2. the only disadvantage to the vapor is you need a small 12v power source for it.

Dan they build a twin cylinder, Plus I run PVL, which fires like a single. Also you could always divide the number by 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 the only disadvantage to the vapor is you need a small 12v power source for it. You should be able to use the lighting coil on the banshee to power it. There web site says it works with 9-400V AC or DC current. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There web site says it works with 9-400V AC or DC current. that will work... but the lighting isnt as strong and if you dont get enough current the shift lights and over temp lights wont work. i used a very small motorcycle storage battery to power the one i had.
