No makers name on the tacho or where you bought it from .

Some online sellers have the instructions in the advert for the items

thanks for reply no name on tacho I managed to google the same one ,its Chinese and hopefully ive found how it is wired the long red and black are for the bulb I tried them across a battery and the tach o lit up ,the yellow back is the signal wire that you attatch to the coil negative side the other vtwo are power and ground ,I'm going to have a go tomorrow the coils are not that hard to get to ,ive changed them before , the signal wire on the xv535 is either orange for the rear cylinder or gray for the front ,will let you know how I get on ,you know what Chinese parts can be like
