I know there a probably a million threads asking this question but here goes - rev counters and 899 Cinqs. I have 2 questions
1 - Can you use a 2 cylinder bike rev counter?
2 - Failing that, I understand that a 4 cylinder rev counter will under read by exactly half. Is that right cos of the dual coil system? What I might do is buy an aftermarket 4 cyl counter off ebay or something (halfords do one but it states for single coil only - but I'd probably ignore that ) and change the numbers - change 1 for 2, 2 for 4 etc. and see if I can get a 5,000 rpm max one!
Cheers in advance
