Yes, the Motogadget tachometer sensor works with CDI (Capacitive Discharge Ignition) and magneto ignition systems. It's designed for bikes where a traditional coil-mounted tachometer connection is not available. However, you must use interference suppression spark plugs or spark plug caps for proper operation.
Installation is straightforward. The sensor clamps directly onto your suppression core spark plug wire using the included cable ties. No soldering or complex wiring is required. Simply position the sensor around the wire and secure it tightly with the cable ties.
This sensor is specifically recommended for use with Motogadget's digital stepper motor-driven tachometers. Check your specific tachometer model to ensure compatibility before purchasing. The sensor electronically drives these digital instruments by detecting ignition current spikes.
Yes, this sensor must be used exclusively with interference suppression spark plugs or spark plug caps. These suppress electrical noise and allow the sensor to accurately detect the ignition current spike. Standard non-suppression spark plugs will not work reliably with this sensor.
No, this sensor is not waterproof. It's designed for use in dry conditions. While it's suitable for most motorcycle applications, we recommend protecting it from heavy rain, water spray, and submersion. Consider your riding conditions and environment when using this component.
This sensor can be installed on most motorcycles with suppression core spark plug wires, including classic BMWs and custom cafe racers. However, it requires compatible Motogadget digital tachometers and CDI or magneto ignition systems. Classic bikes with original magneto ignitions are particularly well-suited for this upgrade.
Unlike traditional tachometers that require a coil-mounted connection, this sensor uses non-invasive ignition current detection. It clamps around the spark plug wire without requiring modifications to your ignition system. This makes it ideal for restorations and customs where maintaining original components is important.
Motogadget's ignition current spike detection is highly reliable when used with proper interference suppression spark plugs. The sensor accurately captures the electrical signal from each ignition cycle, providing consistent RPM readings to your digital tachometer. Built with German precision engineering, it delivers dependable performance across various engine configurations.
