Started bike up and tach wouldn't work. The cable was connected at both ends. I took it off of the gauge, started the bike and the cable spun. Just bought the bike two days ago and it worked fine yesterday and the day before. Also what are normal RPMS for 65mph?
Thanks,

hello blackbike, welcome to GWOF. most cables ( speedo & tach ) have a square-ish end and if it doesn't seat in the guage properly it will give a false or no reading on the meter but every once in a while a guage will go bad

How many turns of the nut did it take to get the cable off? They have a tendency to loosen up and disconnect the cable.

Got it fixed. the needle was just stuck, after I shook it, the tach worked fine.
