I have one, they install easily. As mentioned earlier the Holeshot one just has a bracket made for it, ok if you want that.

I fitted a GI Pro Gear Indicator Kit with ATRE 3 days ago and have enjoyed the gear indicator side of it frequently to stop me finding 7th gear.
I also set it to map all gears like 5th gear as suggested in the manual. Low rev response also appeared better. I'm very happy with it.

Was reading review on the new Bandit 1250s.

The S model (windscreen only) doesn't come with a gear indicator.

My naked 2011 has one.

FA model ? Suspect

The S is a GSF while the FA is a GSX. Different dash amongst other changes.
You don't need a gear indicator. Get user to the feel of the bike and you won't even look at the tacho.

Don't know about the FA but it is eay to install a Healtech gear position indicator on the 1250S - it just plugs into an existing socket.

Yeah. +1

For a me it's not used all the time, but comes in to it's own when:
Can't find 7th or 8th Gear Embarassed .
Riding with ear plugs in.
Riding with loud bikes. (Harley's)
The old hard braking for the dickhead cage driver to a near stop and try to ride off in 5th while thinking about killing the dickhead. Evil or Very Mad
And very windy days.

Tks for info on FA Madmax & Vellies.

My intention was to let forum folk know that the S model doesn't have a gear indicator where the naked does & I wasn't sure about the FA.

No mention of need, worry, riding school or my car (I don't have one).

I do enjoy the experience of having a gear indicator on my naked though. It makes me feel good having one compared to not having one as was the case for my previous rides. Razz
