Purchased one of these to install on a 2009 XR1200. The instructions are not accurate for the connections in order to read the RPM pickup. I searched the XR1200 Forums and found a post that verify's the fact that the instructions were wrong. I tried the #3 position pin on the ECM but no luck. Can anyone help with what wire to use on the xr1200's to get a RPM read out for this shift light? This bike is a Canbus system.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a picture of what this kind of shift light looks like.

Yeah, found all those and they lead me to the #3 position on the ECM and I am not getting any signal from this pin on my ECM on my 2009 XR1200. Thank you very much for your help.

 

I appreciate those diagrams. I'm considering a shift light as I put my new Hammer 560 cams in and raise the rev limit, as well as put in a 28T front belt sprocket. The factory tach isnt exactlt in my peripheral while riding hard.

 

shotgun approach. there's only so many positions. we know postion x doesn't work.

i would say call hd and ask but, we all know where that rabbit hole leads. keep at it

 

Update......We tapped into the coil signal wire directly attached to the coil. This connector has 4 wires, 2 wires are power and the remaining two are signal wires that run from the coil to the ECM. You can tap either one, BUT you will need to have the option in the tach/shift light to change the pulse per revolution. We set it to .5 and all is well with the world now. Works great. I hope this helps someone else. Thank you to all for the reply's.
