try to tie into 1 of the coil leads, or strip some wire and rap it around a plug wire and conect that to the tach. where did u hook up the magnet and pickup for the speedo? i put the magnet in the rear rotor hole.

hi mark.

i did strip one of the coil wiering, and connected the rpm on it, its working ok, not 100%..

i did also buy a speedo conwerter, it goes on the org speedo plug at the wheel, and it conwert to electronic signals..

yes i have the useless manual :P
bought this one: Acewell - Acewell Accessories and Sensors - Speed Sensors - Cable Drive - ACE-S8 Screw in square drive adaptor | Digi dash | Digital Speedomter | Motorcycle Computer

this is what the acwell guy said to me:

You should connect to a wire that only goes to one coil. Not the one that splits

You have 2 options.
1, use an ACE-S / ACE-G or ACE-S3 sensor and replace one of your disk bolts with a magnetic bolt.
2, use an ACE-S8 sensor to replace the speedo cable, but you would need to open up the ACE-3803, unsolder a wire, and resolder into a different location on the PCB - easy to do as long as you have a soldering iron.


The soldering bit is easy...
unsolder the green wire from the point on the PCB marked "speed" and resolder at the point marked "hall"

the speedo works fine. and yes, i find the green wire.
only rpm that is working a bit odd, at high rpm its showing too little.. unstable..
at low rpm, until 4000, its fine.

u should contact acewell about it and maybe get a replacement.
i am going through the same problem with a similar gauge i got from Danmoto, an ebay dealer from china. they sell a knock off of the acewell and others. my guage seems to be working fine on the speedo , but the tack is off. i am sending mine back for a refund. i found a member on another forum that has the Danmoto acewell knockoff that he is selling me for $75. i hope it works ?
