What engine?

Presuming the Rev counter self tests when ign turned on?

Using bike speed sensor or Koso one?

Can you be a little more descriptive? Do the revs on the dash respond at all? What are you using as the feed from the bike? On my current engine, the only method I can use is to pick up on the feed from the ecu that originally went to the bike clocks. If I try coming off the coils, I get nothing....

As for the speedo, I take it you are using the sensor provided with some magnets? The original bike speedo signal will not usually work, so if that is what you have currently, then that is the answer.

Using Koso speed sensor?

I've just fitted a Koso to my car with a 5JJ R1 and I've had to wire the Rev counter into a wire direct form one of the coil packs,the wire that goes to the bike clocks Rev counter was no good and giving stupid readings.if you look on the instructions it shows the alternative Rev counter wiring.

I've put my speed sensor on the rear diff,reading off the 6 bolts that hold driveshaft into stub axle in diff.the speedo is very good and accurate.

Koso sensors are non magnetic,so you don't need magnets fitted as pick ups.
The sensor will pick up any metal bolt etc.
Have you got the blue light lighting up on top of sensor with ignition on?
Also you need a minimum of four bolts to use as pick ups,the more the better.6 on mine and it's very accurate.

Does your sensor look like mine in the pic above?
With the ignition on there is a blue light in the top of the sensor,as the bolts pass the sensor the light goes out,this is how you know the sensor is picking up the bolts as they pass it.

Is the sensor too close to whatever it's picking up off?

As the light goes off at the pick up point.

That sensor is way too far from the wheel,has to be within a few millimetres.

Try moving it closer and see if the light comes on.

Think you need to have a really good read of the instructions!

Check you've got power at the sensor,if not check if you have power at the plug behind clocks is where I would start.

I've used the Koso supplied wire,which is shielded.

There are loads of settings relating to the Rev counter you need to set in the clocks,number of cylinders/sparks per revolution etc.

See if instructions are available to download if I was you,mine is a different model to yours so instructions could well be different.

everything in that download you need to know.

Looks like yours needs to use magnets for the speed sensor, the gap needs to be under 8mm from sensor to magnets.

did you set up the tyre circumference for the speedo?
