a hello post followed buy asking your question in the appropriate section of the forum is usually considered polite !

Are you looking at taking part in this forum or just after a quick answer

Its not my first post

According to the info on the right it is

As stug say's your post count is now 2 .
you've started a thread in the newbies asking a question & you haven't even been bothered to say hello never mind a brief description .
Now i'm all for helping people but you've joined in june 2013 , you've never said hello in the past & your first post is a question ! the chance's are going on your input so far is that you'll get your answer & bugger off with out saying thanks !
Now i don't know the answer to your question but if i did why should i tell you ?

If you were to start a new thread & introduce yourself & then goto the 5vy section & post your question things might be different . . . . .
want to start over again ?

Acumen make a very good and easy too install gear indicator, as for the shift light I followed the instructios and it went ok, take a deep breath and try again, how hard can it be lol, oh and welcome in

I'm on a Aprilia forum and their standard welcome is 'Welcome, now feck off!!'
Wonder if that's reco'd motto?!

As above Accumen is a good one,i have one for my 5vy but it's been put on hold for fitting as i have other things more important to fit first..

I went for the Accumen Plug'n'play model (with voltmeter readout).

A lot of folk poo-poo the use of gear indicator - citing that you should always know which ratio you are in, but for me:

Having a few bikes to ride throughout the year - means I never get totally used to the characteristics of each engine.

Using a bike in the Alps - it is useful on approach to a hairpin, to glance down and instantly know that you have to bang it down 3 ratios for the hairpin. Then you can concentrate on the other stuff like entry speed, apex etc......

If you go for a non plug'n'play - I think there is quite a bit of wiring to carry out?

Welcome in. I never fancied a gear indicator thought they were a waste of time, till I got my 14b and like Al says it leaves you to concentrate on other things. When I'm riding the R6 I'm always trying to get 7th and minus 1..... I think prat every time. The majority of times I do count the gears, but sometimes you forget. On track I don't know what gear I'm in I just know how many clicks up or down at my markers, I only have to count into the right gear when I enter the track.

Oh and with this post count..... You ain't going to catch hash up any time this mellenium
