R1 tach wiring

Well, time to call upon the collective wisdom of IOW yet again. One last "glitch" keeping my car from being "done" is the absence of a working tach. Have a 2006 R1, cut down harness, PC III on methanol. Have my fancy new tach wired in as far as the power to the unit itself. Comes on, all the zero displays are there, ect. Thought the proper wire on the harness was the yellow & white. Hooked it up and NOTHING. Was wondering if anyone had a bit of insight into what I am screwing up on here. I know the thing is providing tach signal as it registered on the dyno through the Power Commander just fine at Stewart's, I just don't know how to get it from the engine to the tach.

I'm trying to remember as it has been a few years but I keep thinking it is a yellow with blue wire. I can check tonight though if no one else jumps in with the answer.

Just looked online.....it is one of the 2 yellow with black. Try each one to figure out which it is.
