I've got a friend with 16/43 gearing and now his "gear indicator" keeps acting up. In 6th gear it sometimes 4th or 5th, if he change gearing back and forth fro 5th to sixth it will correct itself.
Any suggestions ?
There is nothing you can do about it. This happens b/c the ECU calculates the number to be displayed.
If you pull the clutch in on the higjhway and let the RPMs come down it will show the correct number........live with it :-)
That's interesting. I never had a problem with my gear indicator...even with 16/45 gearing.
I thought that the gear position sensor was used for that purpose?
Perhaps I don't pay that much attention to it, but I've never noticed it reading faulty.

Even stock you will sometimes see a delay in the number change after shifting. The gps will read the movement of the shift lever, but the speed of the vehicle and RPMs also seem to be part of the equation.
I put on the 16 after a few thousand miles and then the 43 - stock chain - and then the gear indicator freaked out. It goes only up to 5.....until I put a resistor into the GPS (home TRE) to lock it so the indicator is not changin now anyway.

Stock chain was stiff as concrete and no way it was getting on, and even like that it wouldn't go.
So with a few links extra it is now all the way up on the swingarm and it's perfect. I must have the longer version of the 14...lol
Update though: I LOVE THIS BIKE MUCH MORE NOW! The other day because I'm so use to the stock gearing of last year, I followed a buddy onto this road and he rolled on the power quick, so I followed suit and I ended up riding a damn wheelie...HAHA. I will NEVER go stock again!
Oh I never look at my gear indicator so I will check it out next time because now I'm curious.
