RE: Gear Indicator
Im with the other guy near the top, just learn the gears and rpms, I know that 4th gear is 4000 rpm at 40mph, that one pretty much makes the others easy to recognize..............plus I almost never make it past 4th where I live, I let the bitch scream at me weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Good point. So when it is converted to digital, what adaptors are needed to remove the old cable section? Just plug the old cable area?

Your speedo cable setup does not change.

From what I can figure is that it has magnets attached to the front wheel with a sensor on the fork measuring the revolutions of the front wheel. These are compared with the RPM of the engine.

Guess what I am saying is, if you go to the hall effect with magnets etc. and go digital, can you remove the speedo mechanical cable and all related? May as well get rid of extra weight while you at it.

This device needs your speed in digital data.
It compares it with the revs of the crank and then calculates the gear you are in.
So it will only display the gear you are in, not your speed.
Btw. It only indicates what gear you are in when the bike is in motion.
That's what you were asking, right?

You'll still need the speedo mechanical cable for your speedometer.

all i know is if the bike is bogging down, I need to downshift; conversely I need to upshift if it is scrrrRRRRRrrrRRrreaming[8D]..

My wife finds that she rolls into a town, she wants to know when she goes down to second or first. Just because it needs more throttle to make up the difference in ratio.
I've seen her rear wheel skid slightly when she did.

I see what your mean but if you look at the gear ratios you'll see that there is a big difference in ratio between 1st and 2nd and 3rd and very little between 4,5,6.

I love to play with the clutch tho.. one of the joys of not owning a beast.
I'll own one some-year.
