shift light

I bought my 2011 gsx 1250 fa second hand and have never seen the shift light light up

the wonders of google led me to thisk which has now allowed to turn the shift on and set it for 7500 rpm

worth a watch!

That's ok the shift light will light up beautifully at night.

The info on setting the shift light is also in the owners manual

If ever a bike did not need a shift light,its this one.

You don't need a shift light. You need to learn how to ride these things if you're relying on it.
In stockish trim 7500 is past the fun point.

Depends on what your using it for. I briefly had mine set up around 8500 but not for shifts more for as a warning lamp for aproaching redline.
I don't bother with it anymore because every time you remove the gauges you have to redo the setup.

This is for a GSXR Is this the same as the GSX thanks

hi

gsx fa and gsxr share the same instrument cluster

I had no problems following the instructions for the same result

and 5000 revs is ample to see the shift light for just every change

Seriously a GSX1250FS shift light is only there cause of the surplus GSXR dashes they found out the back of the Suzuki storeroom

my commute takes in a number of light controlled intersections, one passes the NZ Police College. I take particular glee in using what some have described as "gratuitous" accleration pulling away from those lights. Not once have I ever seen the shift light come on other than the test cycle when the ignition is turned on. I usually ease up at 115kph indicated in 2nd gear. Where in the real world would you need more? You fellas have some higher limits than us but still....... They would have been better to give us a dash with clock and odo similtaneously on or a trip computer.

Here-here

external temp gauge, self cancelling indicators and a keyless start are on my wish list

Do the 1250's have this aswell. 
Not sure where it would light up if it did. 

You guys and your bew flashy models

Real bandits don't have this feature. Only gsx1250s

I think Suzuki just put that instrument panel on from the spare parts bin - I've seen that exact same item on lesser capacity Suzuki cc machines. They just put a different face on it and recalibrated the ECU to a different rev range.
