Gear Indicator

Eyup chaps, just seen some digital gear indicators on E bay, from China, believe it or not, for about £11. Anyone got any experience of these? Does my 2011 Speed Triplehave a spare plug to even fit one?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

 

Eyup Foxy.

Bloomin eck. That's cheap. Gotta wonder at their quality/efficiency at that money. Post a link so we can have a look.

As per "spare" plug. I think they normally just plug into the diagnostic port thingy.

 

Post a link???? I'm a technological luddite! I'll try, but don't hold much hope out.....

Bleedin hell!!! I'm in shock, mind you, I had a little help.........

 

Well done mate.

Ignore what I said about plugging into the diagnostic port. That ain't happening looking at your link. I'm sure someone who knows what they're talking about will be along soon. Looks like one of those Chinese buys that's too good to be true. One guinea pig required.

 

My thoughts exactly Johnjo.

 

not sure but i think i seen it on here that the abs model bikes can't use gear indicators,was some time ago try using search to see if that's correct or not.

 

Mine doesn't have ABS, Chuk.

 

GOOD LUCK trying to get that to work. Each of the wires 1 to 6 connects to a LED segment on the display, to make up the numeric display (ie a number).
Without a driver/interface circuit it is just a dumb display and will do "feck all"
I've got one of these on my Bonneville...... works a treat!

Thought there'd be a catch, at that price!! Can you get driver/interface units?

Oh that's ticketyboo then I thought it had and as my 2011 has it, it's funny I never noticed that when I originally bought bike l.o.l☺

 

Just do maths!

I know my Tuono does 85 in top gear at 5500 revs. I also know that 3 Rd gear means revs match speed, 3500 revs = 35 mph 'ish. Rest just work out.

 

Or get a gear indicator and don't worry about the maths?

 

Great idea especially if you canny count of have a digit missing l.o.l.

 

I forget some folk lose mental agility as they age

 

Now I'm a pensioner. I think I'm down to my last 10% of brain capacity

 

Still got enough sense to not buy either a top box or a trailer tho'

 

Check with dealer to see if your bike has a gear position sensor (in starting circuit). If so, Gearingo should work for you. It's around $150, and just plugs into the OBDII port and done. On initial key-on position it gives you ambient temperature, available battery voltage, and then gear position. Designed on a T-Bird, but tested on many models and should work on all modern Triumphs. I've used one for a couple years now and it works great. Made in Canada. http://jack-be-quick.com/jack-shop/gearingo/
