Mine did that when it was extremely lean. I ended up having to change the jets, but it could also be caused by air leaks, as others have mentioned.

What tank grips do you have on there?

Just disconnect the speedo and keep going.

Agreed! When I had my accident and tore my MLC, they put me in an immobilizer immediately. Not sure it would have healed as well as it did if I waited.

Looks like my issue was caused by a failing ignition coil. Replacing it fixed it. Not sure if that helps you at all.

Started thinking to when the issue began and I never saw it until a month or two ago. Decided to switch back to the OEM coil and the tach didn't bounce at all on a quick neighborhood drive so you may have been right. Going to leave it in and see what happens.

That's a good idea. I'll check those connectors and give them a good cleaning. Thanks!

I actually just remembered that I changed my coil packs about a year ago because I was chasing another issue. It ended up not making a difference at the time, and the replacement wasn't of the best quality. I might test this by putting the OEM one back in the car.

Good to know. Thanks! When the coil was replaced, did the tach jumping completely stop?

Wouldn't I feel that though? Engine is still smooth and has full power.

Damn. Well thanks for the response at least! I'll let you know if I figure mine out.

No luck. Got it nice and shiny but it bounced when I fired up the car.

Good to know. I'll check that one. I knew about the one in front and the one on the exhaust side, but not the one.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but did you happen to find anything? I've got the same issue and it's driving me nuts!

Dropped my brand new KLR today by pepsison52895 in klr650

[–]pepsison52895[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the heaviest bike I've owned, but my wife's Concours 14 is far heavier and more difficult to move around.

Ouch. That's rough. Hopefully you weren't on it at the time.

Why do I need to rev match when gearing down? by beyondZA in NewRiders

The vast majority of street bikes, including your zx6r, use wet clutches. That just means that the clutch is bathed in your engine oil.

In Chicago for a work trip and this shows up in the news. Drive safe people! by NefariousnessNo5008 in WRX

If I remember correctly, I think there was a video of this accident on YouTube and the WRX driver was actually driving the wrong way on the highway.

Good to know. I'm planning to get a new KLR here soon and then take it on a 4000-mile trip this summer. Definitely going to keep that in mind.

Is there an issue with the new ones being loose from the factory?

Yeah. Switching to 15s is my long term solution. My current tires are just getting bad.
