Howdy fellow mz riders. just picked up an acewell 2853 speedo tack combo guage for95 bucks. I want to put it on my 96 skorpion tour. Is any one familiar with replacing the guages and maybe has a wiring diagram?

Thanks norm
i was also hoping to find a diagram for the skorpion toro. some of the guage wires need to be replaced because the lights flicker when i turn the bars. Really the lights are off more than on

check the plastic wire connectors .. on some bikes even well cared for ones there getting real sad with loads of green crud inside
and the spade lugs are getting loose

just today found a loose spade on wire on relay 30 on the 660
you have enough trouble with that relay with out the wires falling off

Thanks for the info guys. i hooked up the speedo and every thing works but the tach. i followed thd directions and wraped the wire around thd spark plug wire. But no movement of the tack. I think that the guy that i bought it from hooked it up wrong and messed it up. any body know of a problem that i might bd overlooking?

Just wondering if i could hook up the original tach by wraping the input wire around the spark plug wire?

i wired my mates acewell to his baghira but can not remember where i put tach wire and he's away on holls for a few weeks,i know it was not wrapped around ht lead and i think a post on here from ages ago mentioned a spare tach wire position on cdi,think it's even marked tach.
i know my trailtech runs from lt side of coil via resistive wire for the raptor quads,may have done that to his :?
