Gear Indicator

Gear Indicators - Always Know Which Gear You're In

A gear indicator clearly shows which gear is engaged. Handy for riders who frequently switch between city traffic, touring, or sporty riding. With a quick glance at the display, you'll immediately know if you can shift up or need to shift down, ensuring more control and comfort while riding.

How Does a Gear Indicator Work?

The indicator reads signals from engine speed, speed, and the gear sensor to calculate the current gear. On modern motorcycles with CAN-bus, this is read digitally, while older motorcycles use an external sensor. The result: a clear and accurate number on your display, often visible at a glance.

Benefits of a Gear Indicator

• More Overview: Always know which gear you're in, especially during sporty or dynamic riding.
• Fewer Shifting Errors: Helps prevent unnecessary shifting or downshifting too early.
• Handy for Learning to Ride: Ideal tool for beginner motorcyclists or when getting used to a new bike.
• Easy Installation: Many models are plug & play with clear, easily readable displays.

Types of Gear Indicators

• Universal Indicators: Suitable for many motorcycles, with simple wiring and calibration.
• Model-Specific Sets: Connect directly to the original wiring harness and display gears without delay.
• Integrated Displays: On some motorcycles, the indicator can be linked to the dashboard via an adapter.

Installation and Use

• Check compatibility with your motorcycle model before purchasing.
• Follow the calibration instructions carefully for accurate readings.
