What is it your trying to do

 

Wire in a gear indicator , PZracing emailed me the wiring for it but they say the positive wire is an orange , can`t see that behind the clocks , and there not sure about the rpm , they say its white or white and blue , but I`ve read the rpm wire is black and brown ?????
Confusing uh ?

 

I can see now why you were reluctant to tell us what you were doing... Gear Indicator.... :rotflmao:

 

I don`t get it , what`s this thing about a gear change indicator ?
Do you ride track days , ? , every had the rear wheel lock up because you thought you was going into second when infact it went into first ?
Am I right in saying the "R" comes with one ?
Does it make you a pussy if you have fitted to your bike ?
What a load of Bollo*cks, I`m all in favor of any mods that have there use , unlike thoses who spend a fortune on carbon bling , lol .....

Trackday essentials , Gear indicator, slipper clutch , quick action throttle , quickshifter , so if any of these makes me a pussy , so be it !

 

Do race bikes not have any carbon on them?????

 

Nope - i can't comment on track days - so fair enough if it's vital for that
But as for "the rear wheel lock up because you thought you was going into second when infact it went into first"... errr, nope... feeling what the bike is doing & an element of mechanical sympathy works well enough for me, always has, but then again maybe i just don't ride hard enough to have a say.
I am however more likely to keep trying for more gears, when i'm already there... so i guess i should get a GPI

 

I only ride the track now following a bad accident ( not my fault) two years ago ,and the incident with the rear wheel lock up happened on an R1 at snetterton causing me to fill my leathers and run off , prob is when your on the money you don`t have time to think about what gear your in when your braking bloody hard for a corner( and I didn`t have a slipper clutch fitted to that bike ,) well at least I don`t , so I need all the help I can get , as with the other items mentioned ....
Can`t be a bad thing as all the Motogp,SBK and BSB riders have all these fitted to there bikes as well , so maybe there is an argument for them to be on a trackbike...
You should try it , me thinks you would not regret it ,it takes the guess work out of the equation , on the road you get the time to be conscious of what gear your in , but on the track you don`t ...

Sorry Robbie, forgot you only ride track now... & fair comment re- road riding. I guess the way technology is moving, my next bike will probably have it anyway... then i'll know when i'm in 6th

 

:frown:

I'm sayin nothin now, just sitting in the corner quietly

 

well your used to that..............it took months to get you to come out from hiding at squirters

 

Yeah they do , and gear indicators !
But there carbon is for a reason , not bling .

 

Okay first of all, each to their own.
2nd of all, if you have enough time to check the dash for the gear you're in, you've obviously got time to spare on the bike. If you just count down before each corner, you are good. At least that is the way i do it. It really does not matter which gear you're in, as long as you're in the right one. A digit telling me the thing is in 3rd when i should be in 2nd tells me absolutely nothing, you cannot change gear once committed to a corner (or maybe you can but you shouldn't).

Humming and counting makes you faster than any electronic gadget

Now more seriously, the early RC 8 models have a system that tells the ECU which gear the bike is in for the following positions N/1/2/3. It tells the ECU and not the dash. The twinspark engine RC 8's have this gear indicator on the dash. No need for an aftermarket GPI.
RPM signal is a bit difficult to obtain, as it is not a square wave 50% duty cycle signal, but integrated in the CAN bus signal. That is exactly why most GPI have troubles indicating the correct gear on the RC 8.

GPS based systems tend to change between 2 gears under lean angle as tire radius changes and thus the ratio that is stored.

 

Wish I never asked now , lol .....
