The sensor for the rev counter (tachometer) which reads the speed of the engine in revolutions per minute (RPM) is located on top of the gearbox bellhousing. If you remove the air filter box it will become visible as a black button on the top of the gearbox very close to the engine with a black cable running from it and ending in a brown three pin plug.
