Acumen Gear Indicator
I used to have a gear indicator on my old GT500 and GT380 Suzuki's. With 6 gears on the Tiger it is easy to cruise
for miles in 5th instead of 6th. Likewise the Tiger pulls so well from 40mph in top I often try to change up into an
imaginary 7th. If I rode all day every day it would not be a problem but I can sometimes go weeks without riding the
bike. Therefore I bought an Acumen Gear Indicator through Demon Tweeks. The fitting instructions are good but
there are no pictures. You need to remove the Front Fairing and the Tank.
TIP: This is a job for the brave, especially on a new bike. You have to connect 3 wires to the Speedo, Rev Counter
and Neutral Light. The instructions tell you to make the joins at the "Black" ECU plug in front of the battery. I
connected the other 2 wires for 12v Live and the Earth at the cockpit end.
TIP: I found it really hard to identify the Pink/Yellow wire. I also had a Yellow/Pink and a Yellow/Red to confuse me.
You need good daylight, a magnifying glass and confidence to make the right choice.
