Funny part is, I would be perfectly fine without a tach. Just give me a light that turns on once it hits 12,500 rpm and I'll do the rest. That's the one I never look at.

Oh, didn't think about that. I just take it easy after I first start the bike. My car doesn't even have a real temp gauge. It just has a light that goes off once it's up to temp. The KLX just has a light to let you know it is overheated. Haha. The way I know the KLX is up to temp is when it starts running smoothly without the choke. Same goes for the ninja too. I can just feel when the bike is up to temp, if that makes any sense.
And I guess I should have stated why I want a tach. It's so I know when I am close to redline. I can usually feel/hear when the bike stops making power, but once you go 60 or so you can hardly hear the engine. So, I too would be just fine with a shift light.
