    I was just woundering if the sm 125s (08) has a rpm read out because when you flick the key on and the dash lights up there is a rpm bar there up the side of the read out but i cant seem to access it and if there is can some body please give me a crash corse on how to use it as the previous owner lost the manual :banghead:

    thanks Brad

    I'm sorry, I'm not going to be any help, but I just wanted to know why you need a tach gauge on a 2 stroke. Just hold it open until it doesn't make any more power, then shift. :p

    When I first got into sport bikes back in the mid 90's I wanted to know how fast I was going, in what gear, blah, blah, blah. After a while I found out real quick that taking your eyes off the road to look at the instruments was not a great idea, in fact I started taping the speedo with black duct tape past 90mph, because it didn't really matter past that anyway. After some bonding with your new girl you'll know what gear & at what RPM by just listening. The tach on my SM 610 is worthless & hard to read. Good Luck & have fun

    No, the rpm read out isn't wired in on the 2 strokes, only on the four strokes that use the same dash.
