Gear indicator?

[Breed777]

Does anyone have a 'Gear' Display on their bike to let them know what gear they are in?

Are they standard on newer bikes? Has anyone added one?

[Harvd]

I had one on my FXR but now i dont. I find i dont really care about the loss. They arnt really standard on newer bikes as some do some dont. I think you can add them but i dont understand why you would go to the effort. Why not just look at the revs and speed and figure it out?

I can count to five so I am ok.

dude seriously..
24 out of 76 of you're posts are new threads. In some other forums you'd get a spam infraction lol

lots of questions i know, but there is a search function. Also you could try a making one thread and asking multiple questions. Just post again in the thread when you think something else up?

Anyway, Never had a gear indicator. No need for one, i can count (as stated above) and i can tell what gear im in by the revs and speed. woo

The GN 250 has them....I guess "A simple bike for a simple person"

OH, I used to own a GN so I guess I was a simple person too, or is that a simpleton?

i used to own a ginny [actually 2] and the second bike didnt even have a dash light, so the indicator didnt even help, LOL. hell, for a while, the second bike didnt even have a speedo, lol. tricky knowing how fast you are going by basing it on vibrations.

current bike doesnt have one, and doesnt even have a rev counter. i get along just fine without them as its two less things to take my attention away from the road.

why bother....if you need to change up,press the gearlevr up.....if you are already in top,no gear cgange will take place,if you need to change down press lever down,if you are in first no change will take place.....whats the problem with that,you dont need to know which gear you are in.

REVS TOO HIGH... change up

REVS TO LOW... change down

its bloomin rocket science!

But having a gear indicator will save you from looking for 7th gear all the time.

And you can be in the correct gear before you begin an overtaking manoeuvre.

It's funny that the people who say they are not handy to have are the people who don't have one.

wat do u expect lol

no oil or water leaks

Nah. It's just one more thing to take your eyes off the road for. If you feel the need to change gear you're going to do it regardless of a number that appears on your instrument panel. If I did have to have something I guess a little light to indicate when I'm in top gear might end my ceaseless quest to find where the Honda engineers hid 7th gear on my bike.
