Problem with my bike need some advice I have a slight problem. My gear indicator goes into 6 gear when you are in 6th and then it changes and shows 5th gear when I'm actually in 6th. Anyone know how to fix or adjust it. I do have a speedohealer and I hope its not whats causing it.. Watcha think??? Thanks

I bet it IS the SH...but then the tranny is soooooos smooth, you sometimes can't tell when the gears change...so maybe ya kicked it down a gear :P

Mine reads all over the place in 5th and 6th. Sometimes it reads 6th when I am in 5th, and stays in 4th other times. I will take it to the dealer, but I am waiting for something else before I take it in, it is not worth a trip by itself.

from what i can tell it only drops a indicated gear when you are under acceleration. pay attention as to when it occurs. when you wack open throttle or when your in higher rpm. this is how it beats the top end restiction. it kicks out of current gear down one. 6th to 5th--- 5th to 4th. its reading rpm acceleration and drops one indicated.

I have the SH & the exact same problem! Not saying its the SH. But it does drop frop 6th to 5th seems to happen at speed.

Ok...Maybe I got to rethink this. Might be some signal pollution? The CANBUS system shouldn't be scrambling anything. Since I'm 100% stock I'm not seeing any of these probs.

It's such a insignificant problem, doesn't affect the quality of ride in any way. I do not think it's SH related. But, I feel if I take to the dealer, I'll have to pull the SH to avert any ?'s regarding it in the line.
Unless I have a more significant problem arise I will live w/ the gear indicator reading 5 when it's really in 6th

Would moving the gear indicator switch (c/clockwise) help?
Sounds like the drum is hung, but I'm sure you've pulled on the shifter to find out? I'd just break the screws and turn it. Make it simple. It's behind the C/S sprocket cover.
I've seen an 'electronic delay" if that's what you mean? I've seen it from 3rd to 4th. Not that I look down a lot, but I did notice a delay showing the next display number.

zx9rmal... Do you have a speed Healer installed... or anything after market on the bike?? Maybe this is going to be a warranty problem... I have only noticed a slight lag time around 1st and 2nd gear.. and I assume it is due to the nuetral indicator. I will certainly keep an eye out on this. Also, what miles do you have on your bikes that this is occuring?? Maybe it takes a few thousand miles to begin to have problems??? I am only at the thousand mile area due to NO TIME!!!

Fellas I called my dealer and one of the guys are pretty sharp.. He said the bike reads rpm and speed and that is what tells the bike in which gear it is in.. So I have my bike set up to read -10% correction on the SH. So it makes since I will put in the correct correction and see if it still does it.. And let you know.... Anyone check it out..

Question. If the Speedohealer affects the gear indicator, and the ECU has different maps, etc for each gear, then does the speedohealer indirectly affect the fuel mapping?
