^LOL. Also waiting for delivery of said pics.

Varex ftw, can transfer it from car to car anyway so it's not a huge waste of money. Saved my ass a few times :)

A long term investment you say? That may be enough to convince myself to get one hehehe :P.

If you google 'Digital Gear Indicator' there's plenty available online. They can price up to ~$200 legit so I'd recommend something cheaper on eBay, $20 and hopefully it works lol. Or you can get to know your revs. If you know what your bike does in top gear at 100km/h then you can translate it to lower speeds and gears.

Did you like the meat though? Everyone else here seems to be ragging about it, I found it to be quite good and I even ate...get this...some medium rare beef...dun dun dun.

Nah no gear indicator. You can get aftermarket ones but cbf. Only time I'd find it useful is on the freeway, for knowing you're in top gear, but you can tell from the RPM once you're used to a bike. The rest of the time it's irrelevant what gear you're in, keep it in the powerband BABY

you using my babies now?

i have no complaints about the meat i thought it was good aswell but i'm no masterchef judge like everyone else here seems to be lol

as for the gear display i think it would make finding neutral alot easier lol

that along with a fuel gauge should come standard with every bike :/

i'll look em up thanks

I don't have gear display or fuel gauge lol. It's one of those things I wouldn't complain about having, but not a determinant in getting a bike cause it's pretty easy to live without them. There's more important info on my screen like my stopwatch :P

How u know to fill up with no fuel gauge? Mine is a life saver but I hate getting petrol so I wait till less than 10kms to empty to make my move

Lol

Lol

Bike switches to it's reserve tank and puts a low fuel light on. My bike also flashes "F-trip" on the LCD screen and starts counting up km like a trip meter - you get to about 40-45km before you completely run out.

Some older bikes made you manually switch to the reserve tank when the engine started chugging lol.

Try walking to the servo when you run out of petrol one day lol.

What's the point of a reserve is it's automatic? why not just put on a low fuel light

I ran out of fuel once, the red light didn't work :-/ Pushed it across an intersection to the BP

You only have reserve on bikes with carburetors (which is a physical switch), fuel injected bikes don't have a seperate tanks so it's a low fuel indicator. It's known as reserve because ye old days terminology carried over.

I usually find out how many k's I get to a tank and then reset my trip meter each time I refuel which then becomes my fuel gauge. Or you could just look in the tank.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
