Failure #2
I cannot make the "NEW BLUE DiGi Gear indicator work, Bergie or not!
I used the correct wires, sodered them used a separate power supply and ground and all I have suceeded in doing one time was blowing the main fuse (While the engine was off! I think a sodered wire melted the plastic of another wire.) was not working before or after this either!
Gear indicator-------Bike
Green wire --------Light Green for Neutral
Brown wire-------- lite Blue wire for the tach
Orange wire---------Yellow wire for the Speedo
Black wire----------to frame Ground
Red wire --------- to main switched power!
and nothing works! :oops:

It's trying to tell you that you don't need to know what gear your in!
If this were Labusa someone might look at your thread title ans respond with 1-800 VIAGRA!

What I have ran into in a couple of these cases is the ground is any good. So you might run back to the battery to confirm that. Another possibility is that the tach wire running to the cluster may not be compatible or sending out a signal that the unit reads. Kind of like what some of the guys have talked about regarding the shift light connection needing to go to the coil. So you might try that. And then the worst thing is when the new unit is defective. Don't know if there is a way to test that.
Does the product have any tech support? I put an integrater on my Mille R and it wouldn't work no matter what I did. Called the tech support listed on the product and the lady said 20 words total and I was fixed.

From the ZX12-R Board a person with one stated that it could not be grounded to the frame and I had to use the Black and yellow wire. I will try this next and last! I even have a test light that show Negative and positive voltage! as in the Green wire for Neutral!

Is the green wire for neutral voltage, or a neutral signal?
