    I just replaced my tach cable because the tach wasn't working. Turned it on and YAY the tach works!

    Then I looked at the old cable and noticed the inner wire that is turned by the engine and makes the tach work was no where to be found. what the hell? There's no way it....got sucked into the engine. right? the part that connected it to the engine was a little loose. So it probably fell off on the old owner and that inner piece fell out right? It has to be...please?

    I replaced the oil when I first got the bike a few months ago and there weren't any metal flakes in there or on the magnet.

    Let me know if you need pictures.

    Sorry for double posting this. My computer was acting a fool.

    the wire can slip right out of the tube, especially on an old broken one, it can't go into the engine, but i would still look over the bike and check its not hanging there somewhere, it's not going to do any harm though.
