That would have to be mechanical.

It already hapened to me last year, I already replaced the tacho. Now it's stuck again at 3500 rpm yesterday. I ordered a new one. (I tried to unlock it but I just totally destroyed it by now ) For now, that makes one per year Last edited by Tfrenchy; 05/22/2011 4:01 PM. I do not read/write english very well.

A part that is guaranteed for 3 months only! Last year they sold it at 160.00 / 170.00 EU, but my vendor said that this one was a new one, with new features, bla bla bla. In fact it's exactly the same. I'm very angry. I'm not sure about my vendor now ... Last edited by Tfrenchy; 05/26/2011 5:40 PM. I do not read/write english very well. Thank's to be patient.
