Just what I wanted
Easy to set up, easy to restart the process if your gears don’t get set up right at first. Nice and bright. Works great!

Get it if you don’t have a factory indicator!!!
Love love love this little thing. Super easy to install and calibrate. I’m not sure what people are complaining about saying it’s difficult to set up. I had it done in less than 1/8th of a mile. Super super easy. My ONLY “complaint” would be if I hit my kill switch sometimes it doesn’t affect it, and other times it puts it into “fault” mode and I have to either shut off and restart the bike (once is usually enough) or just ride and wait for it to catch up. It’s bright enough that I’ve had zero problems seeing the number, it’s quick enough to keep up with me fast shifting. One thing I can agree with other people is it going to zero if holding the clutch. While I understand why it does it, I feel it’s something that could’ve been coded in to show the actual gear while clutch is being held.

Why pay more?
I have a 2015 Honda CB500F. I've only had this gear indicator for a little over a month, but it works as advertised and looks great. It was easy to install too. I'm just starting to wrench on my bike more, doing more work myself, and this was one of the first things I've installed. It took about 15 minutes from start to finish. It was literally plug and play. I watched a couple of videos on youtube on how to install and installed it a few minutes later. It was also easy to program. Some videos say that programming while the bike is on a stand is easiest. I don't have a bike stand, so I was riding it when I programmed it, but I have to disagree. Programming the indicator while riding the bike could not have been easier! The instructions weren't the best, but I figured it out. The programming maybe took a minute, and in less than a mile it was done. I researched a lot of different gear indicators before buying this one. There are several out there that cost more ($100+), but the reviews for this one were pretty good so I decided to take a chance and it's been great. Unless this starts to short out or something, I don't know why anyone would need to spend $100+ on another gear indicator. I ordered the green and it looks great. I don't know if other indicators will show which gear you're in when the clutch is pulled in, but this one doesn't. I wish it did, but I'm getting used to it. The product came a day later than expected delivery date, but I wasn't really in a hurry, so it still worked out. I'll try to take a better picture and upload later.

Pretty decent, with a minor drawback or two
I like this product, but there are a couple of things to note about it before buying. First, the installation is super easy. I recommend attaching the display where you want it first, then routing the cable accordingly. It plugs right into the motorcycle's computer and works immediately. I was very happy with the install. Second: Programming it is weird. You will need about two miles of road, upon which you'll need to ride at many different speeds for a while depending on what gear you're in. You need to be able to stay in each gear until the unit is done calibrating that gear (the number will blink slowly until you put the bike in the indicated gear, then it will blink quickly while it's learning. You can't change gears until it indicates a new gear, so be prepared to stay in each one for about 15 seconds, gradually increasing speed until you reach top gear). If you do it a bit wrong (like I did the first time), the thing struggles to determine what gear you're in. In my case, it would take forever to show I was in fifth, and instead showed that I was in fourth. I went out and found a longer road to re-calibrate on, and made sure that I was going faster in each gear than the last (I think the first time I messed up because I went about the same speed in fourth as I did when I was programming fifth, which made it act goofy). After re-calibrating it works like it's supposed to. Finally, it will only indicate your current gear when the clutch is released. If you pull the clutch in, a horizontal dash appears until you release the clutch...meaning that if you didn't take stock of what gear you were in before you began shifting, you can't find out until you let go of the clutch. This is probably my biggest irritation with this product, since I often approach a turn, pull the clutch and brakes, but forget what gear I was in before I started slowing down, then I look to see what gear I'm currently in, but I've already pulled the clutch, so I can't see what gear I'm in and have to figure it out some other way, usually by just putting it all the way into first, then counting up shifts from there as necessary. This has been only a minor inconvenience though. For what you get, it's actually a great product and I love having an indicator telling me exactly what gear I'm in, even if it is only when the clutch is out.

Over a year later and this gear indicator is still working great!
Installed in June 2024 and now in July 2025 and no issues! It’s really helpful to be able to see what gear you’re in. I got blue for the color and have never had an issue reading the number on it even when it is sunny out. Thanks!☺️

Great price!
For the price, it’s a very decent product. Super easy to install and it works as described. I didn’t follow their instructions to install or calibrate but there are great YouTube tutorials that are helpful for that.

Glad we finally installed these, holding up well
It works well so far on what we have installed these on; a 2006 Honda CBR-600RR & a 2008 Yamaha YZF-R1. The install & setup are pretty straight forward if you read the instructions carefully. TIP: having access to a factory manual for disassembly & locations is also useful, but still do-able if not
