You mean without a tachometer?
Besides actually getting something like one of those tiny tachs or what not, there is the multimeter way (only works on the ones which have Hz mode), the audio capture method (sampling the sound and looking at the waveform and calculating from there), and the old school just using the ears hehe. YMMV of course though, and everyone seems to have their preferred method (with regards to not having tachometer available I mean).

Thanks, I assumed it was somewhere between 1k-1.3k, but wanted some opinions/advice on what everyone was setting theirs at smile.gif

Talking about tachometer. Does anyone ever tried changing their speedometer into tachometer? I think that would be a cool idea.. biggrin.gif

Indeed that would be cool, for a prank lol. Those that already know the speeds according to rpm would probably want to do it hehe. I guess if you have a gps mounted you could just check speed from there I suppose, just don't go speeding. Actually that could have its application. It would be like the long way to checking your idle rpm as you'd have to do all the mods each time just for that lol.
They should probably mod the speedometer to have a 2nd hand that shows rpm, but I bet it's a lot of work.

tongue.gif Actually, I think it will be cool so that I'll get a 'perfect shift'. brows.gif I know there are aftermarket tachometer to read the rpm. A friend of mine did it before. But I want to keep my bike 'standard'. No bolt ons. I want to eliminate my speedometer because it's a Honda Wave. Speed is not important LOL. So one day I got the idea of changing the 'standard' speedometer into a tachometer. Is it possible?
Btw, I just guess that the 'tachometer you mentioned is the meter that read rpm. Correct me if I'm wrong.

moded?

I'm planned to put disc brake at the front and rear. But neglected due to overbudget. And I did consider a custom cover set once. But they are very expensive. So I think maybe I'll do my own design and it will be more worth it. So far I only got GIVI HR3 and a plastic bucket. Are they considered mods? smile.gif

Yeah, for us who have underbones (or at least for me) top speed isn't exactly a priority so I definitely understand you on that perfect shift aspect. I'm not sure however how to go about it to convert speedo into tacho/rpm sorry.
Yeah the one I mentioned is for detecting rpm.
I'm not sure if you can call those a mod, but maybe addons/accessories. I myself am considering what I can do to my Kriss 100 since it's just stock right now. I would love to have some machining and fabricating tools cos I would just try making my own stuff, and I would love to fabricate a new body/cover etc.  Too bad many things like that still cost an arm and leg in Malaysia (machining tools that is).

Never mind. It's okay. I'll keep looking. Anybody else? biggrin.gif
Kriss is a nice bike. I like the long-look of it. And big cover area for cool graphics. thumbup.gif Glad to know that there's someone thinking of machining their own parts. It will be a good business I think. I mean, I would buy a better looking 'body kits' for my bike. I did ever dreamed of fabricating my own rims, custom-made my own cover etc. And start a bike tuning company like those car tuners. But sadly I don't have the expertise. As well as the machines. biggrin.gif
