Tusk Multi-Function Tach/Hour Meter

Good item. Works just as it should. well packaged and came fast.

Love the display screen , built super rugged and easily mounted with the tusk mounting bracket

So I’m knocking this down one star because I ordered two and one had a jacked up screen that wouldn’t work. The other one hooked up easy and works great. I highly recommend just wish RM ATV didn’t send me a dud. And yes I knew it was jacked up just by looking at it in the package.

If I could give this product a lower review I would. However I’m rating rmatv itself. I don’t think the product is the problem. I have a 2019 husqvarna TE300i. It’s a tpi bike. I’m on my second hour meter and it doesn’t register hours correctly. I have 10 hours on the bike since I installed this hour meter and between the 2 meters I’ve only registered 2 hours. I think he hour meter probably works fine on other bikes but for whatever reason it don’t on this bike. The kicker is, it recorded the rpms 100% accurate on both hour meters. ~2000 idle and ~10700 max rpm. Makes sense. However. No hours.

I'm on my 2nd one..1st one worked great for 150hrs..then it died this winter. Called rocky mountain and they were great and sent me a new one. Got the new one and it worked for 6hrs and now it resets to zero every time the bike is turned off. And now ii lost track of how many hours this fully rebuilt engine has. I hope they will refund me or put the amount towards a different brand that last longer.

Super easy to install and mount especially with the Tusk Mounting bracket (highly recommend that) The main reason I got this is to just keep track of hours and maintenance schedules. But the Tach function is super helpful as well. My only gripe is I wish they included better instructions on how to go through the menus and make changes. I tried to find it on YouTube and found a brief overview from Chase but that was about it. Over all I’m definitely happy I picked it up. I wish it would power down the LCD when the bike isn’t running just to conserve battery even more.

Awesome as alot of features and real easy to reset service intervals

I like it.Easy to install.Put it on son's bike to track his hours.

I will start out saying that I really like the Tusk product line and have quite a few Tusk items. I bought a KDX 220 last year and wanted a basic hour meter to keep track of oil and air filter maintenance. I installed the first Tusk meter and it worked well... for a bit anyway, and then it started screwing up. I called RMATV and went through some t-shooting procedures, and they confirmed that it was a faulty meter and to send it back for a replacement, which I did.

Received the second meter, installed it, but when I went to peel off the protective coating it pulled off the whole front face of the meter!! (pic attached) I ended up super gluing the face back on and it seemed to hold fine. Well, about a month later and the meter started screwing up again, and it reset the total hours, etc. and wasn't working properly. Yes, the wire is wrapped correctly around the boot.

After two attempts at using this meter I am done. I've used a Hardline hour meter on my CRF450 for almost 10 years now with no issues, so I will probably go that route. I've heard of several people having issues with the Tusk meter battery going out after a short period of time, which isn't good news. Like I said, I really like Tusk products, but this particular one isn't for me. It sounds like a lot of folks are having good luck with this meter, so maybe I'm just having some bad luck here.

Will always buy tusk if the make the product I’m looking for! Ordered this to put on my bike after a rebuild and I was impressed with all the options you get for the price. Easy to use and easy to install with instructional videos. The 2 sided tap makes for a quick secure fit and has lasted through wet rides and washes. Service timers make great for knowing when to change fluids and filters. Great product

I wanted a reliable hour meter after struggling with some of the wireless kind. Install was fairly easy, taking only 30 minutes. Tach works perfect and its a nice addition

Works great but I wish the display was a little brighter

Worked good untill a month ago when the battery died, one would think you could replace the battery, but NO.

Started off fine. I installed this unit on my bike a few months ago primarily to monitor engine run hours.
It clocked about 31 run hours, then a few rides ago I glanced at it to notice the battery symbol blinking and the total run hours had reset to 0. Then the screen went blank. I can wake it up by pressing one of the buttons, but the total run hours are always at 0..
Maybe this isn't really water resistant per IP68? I am in western Washington, and some of the recent rides I did in late December '19 were really wet- I mean way more wet than normal.
Riding here in this weather, you quickly find out which electrical components just cannot handle it....

I had a similar trail tech meter on a different bike. The trail tech one had a single small button and it was hard to cycle through the modes; especially with riding gloves on. This one has 2 big buttons that are easy to use. The display is big and easy to read in the daytime. I wish that they had an option for a backlit version to use at night, not a huge deal but would be nice. The available bracket also worked well. I wish it was included or at least cheaper. I feel like the bracket is the most secure mounting option. The cable that goes around the ignition wire is quite thick and was harder to wrap around than the trail tech.

I also wish that there were better instructions for programming/reset available. The installation instructions were fine but I had to figure out for myself with different spark modes there were and how they worked.

-m-2003 HONDA XR650L--

Convenient way to keep track of scheduled maintenance.

First one sent did not work. They sent me a replacement in two day. New one works great.

Good product got it to monitor hours for maintence on my daughters quad

Works as claimed. Cable position limits mounting options. Hard to read in low light. Functions keys not very intuitive for me.

-m-2019 YAMAHA YZ250FX--

So far so good but it's hard to evaluate reliability or performance having had it just a few weeks. Everything does work. Wish the battery could be replaced when it does run out.

Just mounted and tried in garage. Good little unit for checking idle and it will log a max rpm so good for tuning clutch. Too small to safely read at speed where I have it mounted. I could get it mounted higher if I extended wire and may do so later. I trust it will be easy to reset max reading so it will be an effective instrument for tuning

This tusk hour meter is exactly what I was looking for. I needed a small set up with rpm and hours and this dies just that. The install was so simple especially with the tusk mounting bracket. Hardest part was wrapping the wire around coil.

Other than being super easy to install, I do love this meter. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out super easily is to switch between the RPM and the hour meter quickly.

-m-2011 KTM 300 XC--

Well, it is most likely a better product than my review makes out to be - at least on another motorcycle. Full disclosure; I will continue to try to get it to work, and I haven't done any real riding beyond testing the installation yet (winter is still here in Canada as I write this). Value; Well, the battery is not replaceable, so this is a throw-away product. Reliability; It looks water-proof, but I can't get it to show RPM or hours of use. Not reliable for me. Ease of installation; Really, I for my motorcycle, I'd give it zero bars, but on your machine, wrapping it around the spark plug wire should be stupid easy. My motorcycle has the coil on top of the spark plug and so there isn't really a wire to wrap the lead around, and the ONE image I could find online - which I followed - did not result in the product having a spark signal. To actually wrap the wire 'under the coil cap' would mean modifying my coil cap so that the wire would fit between the weather seal and the cylinder head, which I'm not going to do. It has also been very difficult to figure out what #of sparks per # of revolutions apply to a WR250R (is it 1 or 2? I've found both being stated...). I have to deal with the gas tank to try the wrapping in another location, and that is a big pain in the tank! So, hence the installation (and performance) gets one block, as it is not performing for me at all. As to the Ease of Use, the two controlling buttons didn't seem to make the unit respond at all - I think the instructions could be written better. Yes, I eventually got it to shift between settings (with my old eyes, the little print on the screen is unreadable too - glasses required by me).

I bought this on sale and didn't think I wanted any more than the hour meter. Turns out I really like the extra features! I check my RPM all the time with it, and I really like the service timers. Easy install and easy enough to navigate through the settings. Would definitely buy this one again

-m-2015 HONDA CRF250R--

Shipped fast, installed perfect, runs perfect. Makes it much easier to keep track of time I'm putting on my bike.

Works great and lets me know when it’s time service

Instructions very poor. Buy the basic tach and hour meter. Have two of those and they have worked well for years and are easy to use,

-m-2017 KTM 500 EXC-F--

Keep your instructions this has quite a few button presses to set up and change views. The tach seems to top out at a low RPM maybe there's a setting but I played around with it and can't seem to get that right. Its good for setting your idle though. The hour meter is fine.

Just what I needed to keep track of gear oil changes, topend rebuilds, and any inspections since doing a frame off restoration. As a mechanic it puts my mind at ease not having to time all my rides, just check my hour meter do checkouts.This unit has survived multiple washes and muddy wet rides too.

-m-2003 HONDA CR250R--

Got this on sale so I like the price as well as the mounting bracket. I also like that it's a tachometer seems to be a good unit

It works and seems to hold up well. the main purpose for me was keeping track of hours for oil changes and valve checks. a surprise use was setting the idle at required RPM for the install of a Rekluse clutch

Insulation is the same as every other hour meter the instructions are not the best but between the online Rocky Mountain video which was awesome and the instructions I was able to figure it out

-m-2016 KTM 450 SX-F--

Buy one and track your maintenance intervals.

-m-2001 SUZUKI DR-Z 400E--

Great way to make sure your top and lower ends are done on time without the possibility of blowing up

This product is a must have! Its nice to see what RPMs your running and when you need to service your machine...suoer easy to install and as always what a great product from Tusk

Works well. Compact Installation.

-m-2008 HONDA CRF450X--

Great hour meter for the price. Rpm, hrs and count down hrs for the mainly interval that you program. Very pleased.

-m-2009 HONDA CRF450R--easy install works good. Worth the price. Looks good easy to read.

Select the correct pulse pattern for your machine and boom this thing works perfectly.

The rpm and service timers are very handy. It was easy to install.

It's a very easy was to stay on top of bike maintenance. And pretty easy to install too.

-m-2018 YAMAHA YZ250--

I used the include 3M double-sided adhesive pad to affix this to the side of my KLX400 instrument cluster. Eight wraps of the wire around the ignition wire, trim the excess, and it's good to go.Simple, functional and it took 15 minutes to install it.

-m-2003 KAWASAKI KLX400SR--

this is a must have I thought I put a lot less hours than I was this saved my guessing now I know and the tach option is a plus really nice

-m-2006 KTM 250 SX-F--

I like that the Tusk multi function hour meter has a reset able function. Which works well to monitor my oil change.

-m-2018 YAMAHA YZ250X--

This hour meter is awesome! It tracks hours for all of my service intervals and is super easy to install. Feels really well built and mounts easy. I recommend this!
