Hate to ask the obvious question, but there are definitely no switches on the back of it? some tachos have a switch, to change the resistance level between a 4, 6 or V8 input. Some use the coil as the input. Some use the alternator. I'm speculating, because I've never installed an expensive tacho in a car before.

Mostly they use the coil or the tacho output from the DFI module (brown wire in the case of the VN) for a signal.
As mechknight has suggested the monster tach's I have seen have a switch on the back. Some you have to take the rear
housing off to get at the switch.
Throw up some pics someone may have played with one before.
Cheers
 

What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared.
