Did you'all notice that in 4th gear, your RPM is equal to your indicated speed times 100? For example, 40mph is ~4000RPM, 70mph is ~7000RPM.
I tend to be in 4th a lot. So I know if the RPM is lower than what I expect, I must be in 5th; if the RPM is higher than what I expect, I'm in 3rd. If it's higher and the bike is throttle is really sensitive, I'm in 2nd, etc. If I'm at 6000RPM running 74mph, that's 6th -- not used that much.
I have a 2008 FZ6 so maybe it applies only to that year but would be interested to see if other years exhibit the same behavior.
I guess I don't need that gear indicator .
Thanks,
Dennis
