Acumen DG8 gear indicator

Post by SOILZX »

Brought for the 636. Shite is all i can say. No way worth the money. They don't read fast enough on down changes and most of the time gets confused with a quick succession of downshifts. If anyone is considering one i realy wouldn't bother, spend the money on something worthwhile.

i want a gear indicator for my 7r, the thing has so much torque that top gear sometimes feels like 3rd or 4th

can u get them for bikes with digital clocks and speedos?

Been numerous times when i'm in 6th thinking i have another gear or 2 since it still has all the torque :pmsl

You can get them for electronic speedo, get a plug in loom so you dont have to chop it in. You can also get a sensor kit for cable speedo's, so either way one of them will fit.
In all honesty as i said im quite dissapointed. If they were half the price then it wouldn't be so bad but there £100 with the loom (bout the same with sensor for cable speedos).
