    I am a new "old" guy here with a lot of experience working on all types of bikes, but this one is a bit different.
    I want to install an hour meter on it, but have run into issues doing so. I have read the other post on this site and have researched the net for a solution, have tried some, but still I can't seem to get it to work. I have tried the wrapping the wire around the plug boot below the weather seal with 5 wraps and that did not work. I have tried some other things that did not work either.
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Will it maybe need to be hard wired instead?
    If so, where?
    The fuel pump?

    Thank for your help!

    I solved the problem with a vibration hour meter. It seems to work ok.

    Motominder meters will work off any electrical signal.
    I hooked mine to the fuel pump relay output wire.
    Meter counts whenever the pump is running.
