Hi Guys,
What gear indicator do people use for the R1? Are there any options? i've got a 1999 4XV, also not using original clocks, not sure whether that makes any difference.
Regards
Ed

I don't think there is any mechanical pick up (like a busa). I have been told the only way is calculative, ie using a dash computer which uses number of wheel rotations and engine revs.
Thats why I bought a dash display which could do that!

I used a veypor dash system on mine
was o.k. but it did sometimes struggle to keep up with fast changes

Healtech GIpro X-Type

Healtech make the best range of gear indicators by far IMHO

I use a gipro gear indicator on my single seater which has a gsxr engine and has worked ok,
also on some engines it can bypass any limiter a bit if required.

This is what I use on my 5PW - should also work on your 4XV?

I have the same Acumen on my 5PW with aftermarket dash. Its a little slow (say 20ft to calculate, maybe more) but at least you knwo when to not go for 7th!

on the subject anyone found anything that works for a 1993 893cc blade with out an engine pick, all i'm after is a readout that tells me when in 6th as im always reaching for 7th, tried accumen but had mind of its own
