ignitech vs tacho

hello,
i was riding home very early morning today to the point i was the only road user and decided to give it some beans, and i have set my ignitech to show my shift light at 12,500rpm but noticed it came on at a tacho indicated 15,000rpm!!!!

now does anyone know which is off and which is accurate? also are they usually out by that much?

Most likely the tacho and yep they can be.

cheers Neo, i just thought it's accepted to be a few 100rpm out but i was very surprised and thought i was dreaming when that happened! maybe i should raise the shift light higher and pretend i am riding around on a r6 at an indicated 17000 rpm lol

do you know if i changed the clocks to something like koso would it still be that far out or would it be accurate?

lol it feels like a r6 complex doesn't it? the tacho lying to us but no-one cares?

i can confirm that the NC30 stock tacho is MASSIVLY inaccurate, kev at projex conformed my suspisions the bike is limited to 14.5k RPM but the clock is showing 16k rpm limit from the dyno yesterday,

you can set correction but im not sure what to set it too, i may startt and 100% and work backwards and see.

thats made no difference to mine, even the dyno showed it was massively out and unstable.

i will try 100% and work back words until its spot on,
i went as far as 20% previously and it made no noticiable difference, but know comparing the RPM on the ignitech on the computer and the RPM of the DYNO computer i know that it is accurate its just the clock thats hugely out
