05 RPM Needle doesn't move.
I have an old set of gauges from my first crash... it was a nice low speed flip that smashed the upper bracket and fairingto pieces, andcracked uptheold gauges. 
Anyways...
The gaugecluster seems to work as far as speed and trip, and light up.BUT the only thing that doesn't work on them is the tach needle. The needle doesn't sweep when you turn on power. It doesn't move at all when the bike is started... nothing.
I've switched out the gauge cluster, and lighting/gauge wiring harnessfor a new ones andeverything hasworked fine. But I'd like to fix the needle on the old gauges.
Any ideas on a fix or how to get started?

make sure all the wiring is good
when i cut out all of the unnecessary wiring for my track bike the green ground wire going to the dash was cut out because it also hooked to the turn signals and i had the exact same problem
i had to splice in another ground to get it to work

RE: 05 RPM Needle doesn't move.
I'm pretty positve the problem is inside the gauges rather than the wiring. The new gauges and wiringwork flawlessly. But when the old gauges are plugged in the RPM needle still doesn't move when hooked up with all the new hardware.
I'll test it out with some of the equip at school... any other ideas?
