This will be because someone has changed the wiring configuration - The electric window relay should be energised via a switched 12v (either straight from the ignition switch or from ignition relay) to switch a bigger current to power all the windows. In this case someone has removed the relay coil 12v feed from the switched source and connected it to a permanant source (straight from the battery and not via any switches.) -Daz Ellerington.

Why do the windows work with the key on but not when its running?

Got to be related to the ignition switch. You may have a worn ignition cylinder, this usually happens to cars where people have a big ball of keys on the key ring. Wiggle the key while it's running to see it the windows go. If not you will need to spend some time with a wiring diagram & test light to figure it out.

Tachometers count the number of times the ignition fires the cylinders, so a tach from a four cylinder will work on a four cylinder motorcycle. on a two cylinder it will read 50% low.
