Subject: Electronic Revolution Counter for
R 60/6 – R 100 RS model ’77
Dear Dealer,
If it is required to install an electronic revolution counter on
one of these machines, please refer to the following list of
possible installation and connection arrangements.
However, please note that engines with mechanical revolution
counter drive connection will continue to be available until
further notice. Please keep this in mind when ordering in future.
1. Installation of complete twin-dial instrument with wiring
harness (model ’78).
2. Exchange of existing revolution counter for an electronic
instrument, but retaining the old instrument casing (see
instructions for installation given below).
2.1 Remove cover, sealing cap, bulb carrier and high beam telltale
lamp and take revolution counter out of housing complete
with bulb carrier.
2.2 Drill two holes of 2.6 mm diameter (see illustration} in the
plastic baseplate of the electronic revolution counter.
Important: If the black lead from terminal 1 of the coil is
already present (this can be detected by the presence of a
connecting sleeve in No. 10 of the 12-pole moulded-on plug),
the holes need not be drilled.
2.3 The three cables from the revolution counter, with flat plug
connectors, are soldered at the base of the bulb carrier pins
as follows:
Red lead

On model ’77 motorcycles, pin 10 is not present, neither is
the unused cable to the coil installed. In this case the
green lead must be lengthened and run parallel to the wiring
harness from the twin-dial instrument to the coil (the wiring
to terminal 1 from the distributor).
Please ensure that this cable is provided with a knot to
relieve tension (see picture).
2.4 Re-assemble in the opposite sequence to that described above.
After this, remove the drive cable for the mechanical revolution
counter. The worm wheel with shim washer, sealing ring and plastic
bushing remain in the mounting and are secured with the M 6 bolt.
The shaft must be divided so that it can be pulled out of the rubber
seal. The opening which remains in the seal is closed off with a
plug:
