Upgrade Your Royal Enfield Hunter 350 | How to Fit a Rev Counter
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 янв 2024
- This video shows step-by-step how to install a Rev counter (Tachometer) to the Royal Enfield Hunter 350. The kit which includes a tachometer, mounting bracket, fixings and wiring accessories is available from Hitchcocks Motorcycles. This kit is also suitable for installation on the Royal Enfield 350 Meteor.
The video takes us through the stages of unboxing, installing the tachometer onto the Hunter, making all of the electrical connections and the final process for adjusting the tachometer settings.
Many thanks to viewer and subscriber Paul Holmes @paulhomes1682 for pointing out an error with the initial (default factory settings) which had the set and displayed RPM values as to low in relation to Royal Enfield’s stated RPM values for the Hunter 350. Paul’s observations and comments enabled the correct settings to be applied and included in the video.

Brilliant video. Just fitted the Rev counter to the Hunter and watching this was much easier than trying to follow the printed Hitchcocks instructions.
Thanks Keith 🙏🏼 that’s great to hear, glad you found the video helpful 😀 thanks for leaving a comment 👍🏻
@@MerciaMotohi buddy I'm from India I ride a bike named
ROYALENFIELD STANDARD 2009 MODEL RIGHTSIDE GEAR PERTOL.can u show a separate video or suggest a small or big round digital or analogue or both kinda speedometer with oil indicated in it please now I'm using Chinese VIP universal speedometer.
@@v.j7163 hello, not something I’m familiar with unfortunately, there may be someone on RUclips you can assist. Good luck and hope you manage to find a suitable speedo 🤞🏻👍🏻
@@MerciaMoto 👍
Thank you for uploading this. I recently got a hunter 350, and I have no mechanical experience . I think even I would be able to install this with how patiently and step by step you filmed this. Thank you
Thank you so much for the kind words. It’s really great to hear you found the video useful, and it may have spurned you on to have a go. Comments like this really do make creating and uploading videos worthwhile 🙏🏼👍🏻
Great work sir love ❤️ from India 🇮🇳
Thank you, it's wonderful to hear you enjoyed the video and found it informative.
Thank you very much! This is very much useful than the tripper navigation for which they have provided that space. I think @royalenfield should offer this as an official accessory to Hunter and Meteor owners.
Thank you for commenting, yes I think it would be nice if the rev counter were offered as an option
One of the best DIY videos I've seen. Clear, straight forward and to the point.
Hello Martin, thank you for the kind words and thank you for subscribing 🙏🏼👍🏻

Nicely shown with clear commentary.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Great instructional video and thank you for the mention. I'm pleased that you were able to sort it out👍
Your’e welcome Paul and thank you for helping out with identifying the correct settings 😁👍🏻
Never knew this existed and it is what was always missing imho. A great video clearly explained.
Thanks Nev, Hitchcocks only recently started selling the kits. It’s strange, I didn’t think I’d miss having a rev counter on the bike and now I would f want to be without it. Looking like I’m going to be fitting one to my Scram 😁👍🏻
Great work man 👏 Im going to try this
Thank you 🙏🏼 you definitely should 👍🏻🙂
A very useful how to video!
Great to hear, thanks a million for watching and leaving a comment. 😁👍🏻
Nice video Dave. I have no need for one, but still found it interesting 😊
Helllo Ian, hope your back issue is getting sorted? Thanks for watching and commenting on the video, great to hear you found it interesting 👍🏻
Great video, very well done 👍🏻
Thank you 🙏🏼 great to hear you enjoyed 🙂👍🏻
Your very clear and concise video made it easy for me to put one in myself. Thanks!
Thank you, that’s great to hear 😀 Really pleased you found it useful 👍🏻😀
Excellent video! Just ordered a kit for my bike thanks for uploading
Hello Alan, thanks for watching and leaving a comment great to hear you found it the video useful 👍🏻 Great to hear you’ve ordered the kit, hope the install goes well 👍🏻😀
@@MerciaMoto just fitting it now, got the bracket and the counter installed but rains stopped play !
very professional and helpful video..
Thank you for your kind words Joe, glad to hear you enjoyed the video 😁👍🏻
Excellent video. Thank you, sir.
Hello David, you’re very welcome, glad you found it Interesting and helpful 👍🏻😀
Excelente video !! Safety riding
Thank you, great to hear you enjoyed 👍🏻
Thanks for this, I have been thinking about getting one for my meteor, having now seen how easy it is to wire in I’m definitely going to get one, though I will probably see if I can make a bracket so that I can also keep the tripper as well, thanks again and all the best 👍
You’re very welcome Mike, thank you for watching and taking the time to comment 🙏🏼I’m going to fit one to my Scram and make my own bespoke bracket too. I t really is a great upgrade 👍🏻
Perfect "how to" video slow clear easy to follow presentation with all the detail filmed clearly. Excellent.
Evening Robert, thank you for watching and leaving a comment, great to hear you enjoyed and found it useful 🙏🏼👍🏻
A brilliant installation guide and l really complements the bike and is what RE should have fitted the Hunter from the get go.
Thanks for the kind words Dave, very much appreciated 🙏🏼 I agree RE really should fit one as standard, everyone loves a rev counter 😁👍🏻
What a well-explained video. I have a Meteor 350 and I would like to change the tripper for a rev counter, or anything else more useful than the tripper. Thanks for the video.
Hello Daniel, thank you for your kind words, it’s great to hear you found the video useful. I’m going to see if I can fit a rev counter to my Scram whilst retaining the Tripper. If I do, I’ll make a video of the process 👍🏻😁
Thank you for this video... 🎉
Hello Reginald, you’re very welcome, glad you found it useful 👍🏻
Nice informative video
@@sandipmallick4427 hello, thank you 🙏🏼 great to hear you found it useful 👍🏻
Great job ! Looks very straightforward !
I can see Lanes Explorer doing this TWICE 😂👍
Thanks Garry, you’ve given me an idea to modify a tacho to make it plug and play clip on clip off🤔 😂
@@MerciaMotoDon’t worry Dave. Peter likes a project. He’ll happily buy two and fit them, between building model yachts and expanding his model railway layout 🙂
He likes to keep busy does our Peter 😜
@@economicalrides 😁
Thanks for a job well done.
Thanks Earl 👍🏻
I'm enjoying your videos mate and see you got your Hunter from Quarry Bank Motorcycles l, me too. I'm based in Tipton
Hiya Wayne, great to hear you’re enjoying the videos and you’re a local to boot, welcome along mate 👍🏻
Wow very informative 😮😊❤
Thank you, that’s great to hear 🙏🏼 Glad you found it useful 👍🏻
Great video as always, Dave. What very neat hands you have 😊.
What amazes me is that you were patient enough to film all this right from the start of receiving the gift. Very impressed by your professionalism.
I have to say that I'm very pleased to see the smoothness of the reading and with this video to instruct me I'm very tempted to get one. There's an oblong window towards the bottom right of the screen. Can't quite see what that is for. Thanks for this quite magnificent 'how too' video Dave. Perfect piece of RUclips sharing. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks Peter, I’ve never been told I have neat hands before (thank you), they weren’t particularly neat when I was ‘on the tools’ back in the day when we didn’t used to wear gloves so a smattering of cuts, grazes and dirty finger nails were the order of the day. I still struggle to work wearing gloves on the odd occasion when I do a bit of proper work! 😂 I highly recommend getting one, I think they enhance the look of the Hunter and now it reads correctly I think it will be really useful.
Not sure what the oblong window you’re referring to, is it the oblong on the tacho? Great to hear your enjoyed the video and thanks as always for the encouragement. 😁👍🏻
@@MerciaMotoon the tachometer dial there's an oblong aperture or window above the 'Daytona' writing just below the centre of the unit. It doesn't seem to be displaying anything. Is it a numerical readout of revs or perhaps a time readout?
@@Lanes-Explorer5733 ah, thought that was what you were referring to. Best described as the settings window, the display is pretty small and the LCD display is quite faint. It shows the setting values i.e. the pulses per revolution and the rpm settings you want to set for changing gear e.g. 3000rpm in my case. When not in settings mode, it displays battery voltage and the maximum RPM value recorded. Hope that explains 👍🏻😁
@@MerciaMoto Aha yes I won't tell you exactly where I was sitting when I reslized that's probably what it is. 😳. But thank you for the confirmation 👍
@@Lanes-Explorer5733 🤭
It looks like this style of Tacho could be fitted to any bike using the long stand wire wrapped around the ht plug lead, and giving the instrument a simple 12v feed. It seems it is around £110 or so though as a stand alone item.
Very nice fitting instruction video Sir.
Thank you for watching and commenting. Having now installed one, I agree it would be very straightforward to install a generic tacho. I think for some the benefit of the Hitchcocks tacho kit is the wiring accessories c/w plug that fits that auxiliary 12v yet still retains the plug for other accessories, the coil take off wire and the bespoke mountain bracket. I’m going to fit a generic tacho to my Scram and make my own bespoke mounting bracket 👍🏻🙂
vidéo très utile et simple;merci
Vous êtes les bienvenus. Heureux de savoir que vous l'avez trouvé utile. Merci d'avoir regardé et laissé un commentaire 👍
Great video Dave and well presented on how to fit the Rev Counter, top marks. Looks really good too.
I take it your bike did not come with the RE Tripper?
Thank you for the positive comments, greatly appreciated and glad you enjoyed the video. I agree, they do look good don’t they? No, the Hunter didn’t come equipped with the Tripper 👍🏻😁
Thanks for that rev counter next on list when they are in stock, just a point the lights on the engine bars where did you get them and how did you wire them thanks again Ted
Hello Ted, you’re very welcome. Thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment. Link below to the spotlights available from Amazon. They need some modification to fit them to the bike, they don’t come with any fitting instructions or wiring diagrams, but it didn’t take very much working out. I’m about to fit another identical set to Paul’s Hunter and I’ve modified and added a couple of parts to make them plug and play. I’ve posted photographs as a community post which will hopefully allow you to see what I’ve done. I’m going to fit a set to my Scram in the near future and when I do I will make a video showing how to make the loom and fit the lamps. It’s great having you along with us 👍🏻😁

I would love to see Hitchcocks make this kit for the Scram 411. I would remove the tripper on my 2023 and replace with this, which would be much more useful.
I might try and fit one to my Scram in front of the Speedo and the tripper. But rather than buying the kit from Hitchcocks I may buy a stand alone tacho (comes with bracket) but I would make my own bespoke bracket. The only thing I would need to ascertain is how to take the pulse from the coil but I’m confident that would be an easy solution. The tacho’s only use 3 wires 12v +ve and -ve (pick up at the auxiliary connection in the headlamp) and the pulse wire from the coil. If I do fit one, I’ll make a how to video.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😁👍🏻
Now that would be very popular, Dave. 👍
@@Lanes-Explorer5733 I’ll add it to the to do list Peter 😁
@@paulfoster5432 hi Paul, apologies for the delay responding. The LCD display in the tacho displays battery voltage when the bike is running and highest RPM recorded. It also displays the settings menu for pulses per revolution and gear change indicator settings. Additionally it displays the colour of the rev counter display, orange, white, or blue. Hope this answers your question? 👍🏻
Interesting! I wonder if this would fit my Scram 411 and replace the navigation device?🤔😁
Hello, I’m going to try and add one to my Scram soon. I will make a video if I manage to do it 👍🏻
Great stuff!
I've got hunter too, but no mechanical expirence, great video & useful video. May i request clutch and chain adjustment on your channel😊? + New sub....
Thank you for watching and subscribing, great to have you along. Thanks for the video suggestions, I’ll see what I can do 👍🏻😁
Olá. Assistindo do Brasil. Qual a marca e modelo do tacômetro utilizado?
E comprou em que site? Pode colocar o link?

Two questions. Can you fit this to the 350 reborn, and where can I get the sat nav bracket from. Great video. Thanks.
Afternoon John, thank you for war hing and commenting. Hitchcocks state it will fit the Meteor 350 and the Hunter. I suspect this is more to do with the bracket provided as part of the kit rather than the tacho itself. I think (but could be wrong) that the Daytona tacho will fit most models of bike, it’s the wiring accessories and bracketry that the Hitchcocks kits contain that are model specific. The Sat Nav bracket is a bog standard RAM mount, lots available on Amazon, let me know if you need a link. Hope i’ve answered your questions? 👍🏻cheers 🙂
Thanks for the info. That would be great if you could send me the link.🌪👍👍

Thank you 🙏🏼
Hello...yellow cable from coil it's already inside the headlampl ready waiting for You?
Hello, the yellow cable that the wire from the coil connects to is the yellow wire from the tachometer which will have been fed through into the headlamp ready. Hope this answers your question? 👍🏻
@@MerciaMoto so that cable OS already inside the headlamp waiting for me....thats what i'm uderstanding with My poor English. Thanks
Does anyone know if you can put a rev counter on my scram 411?
Hello, I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be possible to for one to a Scram. I plan to try and fit
One to mine at some stage 👍🏻
Hello Sir,
I plan on installing the entire speedometer and tachometer unit onto my Hunter 350, do you think it will be done without the need for extra wiring?
Thank you
Hello, I assume your Hunter already has the speedometer fitted? If you are just going to add the tachometer, all of the wiring you need is included in the kit supplied by Hitchcocks. Hope this helps? 👍🏻
@@MerciaMoto yes it is! im planning on converting mine to a cafe racer with some engine mods so thought a entire unit from the interceptor might suit better
@@harry3370 ah I see, I wouldn’t imagine there would need to be to many mods for a combine unit, other than the wire required to pick up the pulse from the coil 👍🏻
would be the same for the meteor 350?
Hi Richard, yes I believe it is and Stuart Fillingham has fitted one recently and made an install video 👍🏻
Could you tell us how many rpm you get at 100km/h and at 110km/h in 5th gear?? Thanks! 🙌
@@damianusa1 Hello, thanks for commenting. I will check and advise the values next time I’m out on the bike 👍🏻

Will the warranty be void if the tachometer is installed on hunter 350? I want to install tachometer on hunter but After doing all of this I am bit worried about warranty.. 😐😷
Hello, good question. Honest answer is I don’t know, but I doubt it would. Might be worth speaking to your dealer or RE directly if you’re concerned 👍🏻
@@MerciaMoto yes.. I live in India and here warranty is a big concern. Doing any modifications here can led to void warranty😂 depends upon dealerships, here some allows to do certain modifications and are okay with it and some just say doing this can void warranty.. so I will look up to it. Great video tutorial I'll do this someday. Thanks🙋🏻
@@pinoqio8868 glad to have been of assistance, good luck with adding the tacho if you can. Enjoy your Hunter 👍🏻
