Acewell Dash.... Shift Light?
phelpsa - 17/11/10 at 01:55 PM

I have an Acewell digidash and was just wondering if there's any way to wire in a big red shift light? The engine just wants to rev and rev, its recorded 12900rpm when the standard red line is 10750, but I don't want to kill it, so I really need something to tell me to change up.

The problem being the virbrations, exhaust noise and helmet mean i can't actually hear the engine, the power doesnt really drop off and i can't really look down at the rev counter when flat out.

A part of me says 'if its still making power why stop?'.... but the other part doesnt fancy having to replace the engine!

how is it revving that high if the redline/standard ecu rev limit is so much lower?

Its an oooooold bike engine. The red line on the counter on the bike was 10750 but there's no ECU and no hard limit.

Which Acewell have you got?

Mine has a change light built in, comes on green at 6900 and goes red at 7400.

Its a 3250. It has a built in shift light bit its tiny and you can't see it in sunlight really (certainly not the first thing to take your attention at 100+mph...). I was just wondering if there was an output from it I could use to trigger a big bright shift light.
