Erratic Tach

Most likely - Intermittent power or earth connection
Next likely - Intermittent rpm signal connection
Least likely - Tachometer internal problems

So first check for a loose or corroded electrical connection at the battery, the fuse, and any in-line connector. Check the two battery connections first, next the connector at the instrument cluster, then at the fuse, and lastly at the wiring harness connections.

Next, since the bike is running OK, the RPM sensor gap, the sensor itself, and wiring back to the computer are not the problem. So you need to check the connectors between the computer and the tach.

Finally, try to borrow a tach to verify that it’s actually the problem, before buying a replacement.
