'95 tachs on Speed Triples are crap.

Parents used to own a Triumph Shop in Mesa, AZ. and we
saw all sorts of Tach problems. (But just on the Speed Triples.)

Did you check to see that all three brass screws in the back of the
tach are tight?

My '95 Speed Triple has had three tachs on it and it only has 7K on the bike. Triumph warranteed my last tach as it didn't make
1000 miles before it croaked.

I never did find a place that would work on them. They appear to
be sealed units as the chrome bezel does not come off.

Wondering if you've been riding in the rain at all ?There's two things that have worked for me, whether they will for you I don't know - the 1st is to clean all the connections to your coils -I believe # 3 coil has some kind of link back thru to the igniter and back to the tach - if you have a bad connection/corrosion there that might have some detrimental affect. The 2nd is up in the head light wiring mess under some shrink tubing is a little circuit board. I had an issue with my Tach back in 95 in Florida after a rain storm.... anyway by disconnecting my battery and with some contact cleaner and a nylon brush I cleaned up all the solders on that board where the water had got to it, removing all the electrolisis corrosion for want of a better expression - and she worked again. The coil trick has since worked 5 or 6 times - a dealer told me about that one - the 2nd I figured myself -but you might try calling Mickey at Orange co Triumph about the coil deal -otherwise take your bike to the best Trumpet dealer in your area is my advice! Good luck :roll:
