Default My tach is stupid.

So, on the last few rides I've noticed my tach reading to be off 3-500 rpms. It's not bouncing around, and doesn't do it every time. Crank it up one time and it's dead on, crank it up another and it consistently reads high. Any ideas?

I haven't even touched it yet, or even worried about it too much. Just wondering if anyone has the answer, so that I may continue to be lazy.

P.S. ( I know connections are an obvious place to check )

Check your charging rate too as overcharging can mess with the tacho if it is charging high enough...like 17 - 20v.
