None of my other bikes with ignition cut react that way at the tach, though we're talking on new GSXR's with a whole different ignition system going on.
Exactly. On the Ninja, the tach is fed by a wire from the coil since it doesn't have an ECU. On an FI bike, the tach is fed from the ECU. Since I would assume the HealTech taps into the coil power or signal wires, it would interfere with the tach movement or reading.
