Motowheels has this tach:

for $169 vs the $460 I was just quoted for the OEM one specific to my '00 M900sie.

They say it will fit but would require "custom" wiring and they don't have any info on how to do it.  Anyone else out there installed this one on their older fuel injected Monster?  I wouldn't even know where to begin and don't have any electrical testing tools.

The FI bikes ('01 +) have a "single fire" ignition vs older carb bikes that have a "dual fire" ignition.

Single fire means one spark every 2 rotations, dual fire means one spark every rotation.

So first off, I'm not sure which type of ignition you have, since you're right on the cross-over period between ignition types.

Once that hurdle has been crossed, wiring it up is pretty easy: Basically you tie the tach's input wire into the green or green/yellow wire going to one of your coils. Or if that color isn't the same on your bike, the "not grounded wire that isn't the spark plug wire"

But like I said before: The big question is what kind of tach is it, and does it match your bike's ignition type?

mtn_mnzter,  did you get that tach installed? One of my screws came loose and then fell out. I don't have alot left . I'm hoping it was plug-n-play as I'm not skilled in fixing things (just ask my wife). That price looks reasonable (or do-able).

Thanks

Without knowing how to install this (not much of an electrician) I didn't buy it.  Good luck if you do.
