Agreed! I got the stink eye in another post when I suggested the gentleman keep his single Mikcey and try to work through the bugs, but we know better :wink:donmeek said:

My two sense worth for cables. They will bind up inf they don't have very gentle curves. If cables are too long, then you may be adding extra curves and twists. For gauges, I slacken the fork top nuts to make it easier to insert the cabel straignt in in a straight line; don't force it. If it still doesn;t slide in easily, remove the insturment from the holder (more time and work but better than damaging the instrument. Oil or grease the cable to within only 6 inches of the gauge, to avoid any getting into the instrument and gumking it up.

I think it's time to put this thread to bed, finally.
I have put about 300 miles on my Mark III since I first asked for help here (not a whole lot of riding, I know, but the bike resides 165 miles from my home and I don't have a lot of time to play with it). At any rate, I think I am more in tune with how the engine runs now. Not only am I able to exceed 5K once I put my mind to it, but she idles very nicely as well - below 1K after she's good and warm. Therefore, (a) the tachometer is fine, (b) the cable is fine and (c) the 34mm Mikuni can get the thing cranked once I dial on the throttle (and as long as there's enough road before me).
The real issue, you see, is that my perception has been distorted because I ride my Daytona 955i a whole lot more. That thing has more power than I' ever experienced in the past. So to all that tried to help here please accept my apologies!
Later,
Peter
