The tach & oil pump are geared to the transmission. So neither work when the bike is stopped in gear with the clutch in.
Beyond that, what tach problems are you having?
BAS (Bike Acquisition Syndrome) - too many bikes but have room for more

Suzuki:
GT750 2x75
GT550 72 & 75
GT380 72
T500 69 project & 73 project
T350 69 & 71
Honda 85 CB650SC & 86 CB700SC
09 Triumph Bonneville SE

When on the move. The needle just swings to & fro at will.
It only indicates that the engine is running.
The same can be said of the tacho on my 250j.
