    Bad tach??

    I've noticed lately that after about an hour of running and gunning, my tach will start to read wrong. I'm usually at 5800 at wot and will look down and be 6100 and have to back off. Motor doesn't have much of a change in sound when this happens but I can't hear much at wot anyway.....

    Does a tach go bad and result in this or am I about to spin a hub on a renegade??

    Or is something else bad about to happen??

    Thanks

    Tachs can go bad and do go bad. Have your's tested by comparing it to a good known tach.
