Me again!!!! Gear indicator question

[jamesrb90]

So yeah gear indicators?

I like the idea of one of these things and I'm still really crap at remembering what gear in in lol

Iv seen some that are plug and play from demon tweeks of their ebay site for around 80 pound.

Any one have any experience with one of these??

and also seen a cheaper one that you wires into the back of the speedo. Alot cheaper

okay I'm ready to be laughed at ))))

I was always going for that seventh gear... I got one that plugs into the diagnostic port on my bike, easy to instal and a good mod.

[Joeman]

nice gimmick that you will rarely use...

With a digital speedo and digital gear indicator and a quick glimpse, i've actually found myself approaching a stop thinking i was still in 5th gear, when in fact i was in 1st gear but doing 5mph...

[jamesrb90]

Haha I'm sure six30 done the same thing but with 7 on the speedo )

Thanks for the replys guys.

[Glorian]

I tend to guess what gear i am in and hope for the best..

Nah i tend to remember roughly if im ever confused i just change down untill i see that magical green light of neutral and go from there

[fq-craigus]

If you get one make sure it is a specific one for your bike that just plugs in. Dont get one of the ones with read switches they are useless

[jamesrb90]

Okay thanks guys

James, here's your gear indications...

<15 you're in 1st

<25 you're in 2nd

<40 you're in 3rd

<55 you're in 4th

<70 you're in 5th

>70 you're in 6th

Well that's how I do it anyway. Since I no longer have your R6, it now goes:

<34 I'm in 1st

>34 I'm in 2nd.

LOL.

Point is, you don't need it, just go by your engine speed & speedo, besides, no real need to know anyway - just get to know your engine & road speeds and you'll be able to say which gear you're in every time.

Thanks phil yeah I did think that and probably won't even have to use it in time. But it's a gear indicator.... who don't want one lol.

Looks like a cool bit of kit tbh and I do love my gadgets [WINKING FACE]

[Joe85]

Whenever I'm coming to a side turn I always knock it down to first before going back up into 2nd, just to be sure. Is this bad?

I never knock it into first. I usually drop it into neutral and select gear depending on if i stop or not.
