Has anyone installed a gear position display/indicator?
Hi,
Has anyone installed a gear position display/indicator on GZ250? Thanks and Regards, Mahesh. |
Re: Has anyone installed a gear position display/indicator?
Almost all gear-indicators I've seen rely on an electrical signal to indicate the RPM and calculate the speed/rev ratio. Since the GZ doesn't have a computer onboard to send that electrical signal, the indicator you would install would have to be mechanical, which I doubt would work very well.
In essence, it's probably not worth the effort or expense, and it's not that hard to figure out what gear you're in by listening to the engine and knowing your speed. It comes with a little experience. Ride more and you'll pick it up pretty quick. |

Speaking of gear positioners, I just tossed one in the garbage today. Had one on my Vstrom but it lost it's mind and would display Zero or any number from 1 to 6 whenever the mood struck it. It was doing fine till I replaced the bike battery and obviously did something bad because it went nuts after that. Gonna miss the gear indicator, it was also a gift from a friend in Europe.

I tried resetting the indicator with the bike running, not running with key on, riding, not riding, disconnected it, re-connected, no dice.........it is history now but will not be forgotten soon. Might have to break down and find another.

Hi,
I think i would take patrick_777's advice....I think it is not worth my time. I was just looking for one to have as a nice to have feature. Otherwise no issues riding it. Thanks and Regards, Mahesh. |

i never really keep track of what gear i am in, i just click it up or down according to the sound of the engine most of the time |

Hi,
Yes, you are right. The same thing is happening to me, but i kind of try to shift to 6th and if it fails i realize that is the max gear.... -- Mahesh. |
