Title: School me on digital gear indicators Post by: Two dogs on February 19, 2013, 08:35:29 PM After my track day yesterday on the R6 I realised a gear indicator would be handy.
Unlike the Monster where I can hear and feel what gear I am in 99% of the time the whinny high reving 600 combined with a quick shifter [evil] ;D fooled me a couple of times . I had a quick look on ebay and there is a huge range of price and methods . One uses a magnet and a sensor attached to the gear lever sounds hmmm somewhat bogus. Any one installed one themselves , which brand/method where did you get it and price ? tanks Title: Re: School me on digital gear indicators Post by: Speeddog on February 19, 2013, 08:49:20 PM No FHE, but there are ones that get an rpm signal, and a speedo signal, and then calculate from there.
Title: Re: School me on digital gear indicators Post by: mattyvas on February 20, 2013, 01:09:53 AM I have two types of gear indicators on each bike.
On the Monster I have an SP Electronics which is very nice it's well made and has a great harness that is plug and play no cutting at all. On the dirty bike I have a GI Pro, it was far cheaper than the SP, fitting was a little more difficult as the instructions were a little vague, to the point it even had Vince stumped until we both found instructions on fitting a power commander that gave me the right wires I was looking for. There was a little bit of splicing but it was pretty straight forward if I could get it done myself. Hope that helps. cheers Matty...

Title: Re: School me on digital gear indicators Post by: mattyvas on February 25, 2013, 04:26:29 AM It's not the quick shifter one Danno. It's just the gear indicator version and I've had it for years I got it from SP Electronics themselves but its very hard to buy from them because they have an importer who asks around 400$ for them here which is stupid cause I paid half that.
Title: Re: School me on digital gear indicators Post by: Two dogs on February 25, 2013, 12:30:19 PM $400 :o
Think Ill just learn to count [laugh] Thanks for the input MV . I will have a chat to my LBS and see what they can recommend on a budget . I would rather spend that on another track day or tyres which by the look of what I did to my rear after one day is going to be the biggest hole in my pocket .

The SP Electronics one is very nicely made and Italian so we all know about that don't we. |
