GEAR Gear indicator setup 

Optional gear readout will be displayed to the left of the clock only.  
No programming is required with stock gearing and tire size.   
The gauge can ‘learn’ the gear ratios based on speed and RPM, no additional sensors are needed. 
This feature will work with various transmissions up to seven speed models 
The factory preset option will preset the indicator to work with a stock 5 or 6 speed drive train 
With a stock 6 speed, there will be a slight delay the first time you shift to sixth gear as the system verifies the gear 
When “learning” the gear positions, you will need a stretch of road to gradually reach highway speeds with no interruptions. 
Each gear will need the speed to be held steady, until instructed to speed up and shift up. 

 

>> Gear “LEARNING” requires holding the function switch, THEN starting the engine to enter setup << 

 

Once the engine is running, release the switch.  

 

Press and release the switch until “GEAR” is displayed. 

 

Press and hold the switch until “RELEASE” is displayed, then release the switch. 

 

The display will show “PRESET”, “P-1200”, “P-883”, “LEARN”, or “BACK”.  

o

 

“PRESET” set the gear reading to factory gearing and tire size for a Dyna or Softail 

o

 

“P-1200” set the gear reading to factory gearing and tire size for a Sportster 1200 

o

 

“P-883” set the gear reading to factory gearing and tire size for a Sportster 883 

o

 

“LEARN” starts the leaning process of speed and RPMs to calculate your gear reading. 

 

To set the gear for a factory setup select “PRESET”, “P-1200”, or “P-883”. 

o

 

Press and hold the switch until “RELEASE” is displayed, then release the switch. 

o

 

Press and hold again to return to Gear menu. 

 

To start learning gears, press and release the switch until “>LEARN” is displayed, then press and hold the switch. 

o

 

The message will show “NO RPM” if the engine RPM is below 1500. 

o

 

The message could also say “LOW SPEED” if the vehicle speed is below 5 MPH. 

 

Begin riding in 1st gear. The display should show “WAIT 1”.  

 

Ride at a steady speed and steady RPM until the message changes to “SHIFT TO 2”. 

 

It should only take about 20 seconds if the speed and RPMs are steady. 

o

 

Optional: If the message continues to say “WAIT 2”, you can manually override and jump to the next gear by pressing 
and releasing the switch to store the gear position quicker. 

 

Upshift to 2nd gear and ride at a steady speed. The display should change to “WAIT 2”. 

 

Ride until the message changes to “SHIFT TO 3”. Shift to 3rd gear. 

o

 

Optional: If the message continues to say “WAIT 3”, you can manually override and jump to the next gear by pressing 
and releasing the switch to store the gear position quicker. 

 

Repeat this through each gear.  

 

When you are done, press and hold the switch until the display shows “MOVE LINE” and then release it. 

 

The gears will now show up to the left of the clock display only. 

 

*When downshifting, the gear position may jump up momentarily as the RPM is higher than expected.  
Also, the gear position reading may drop to “N” or a “0” when you pull the clutch in coming to a stop.  
The position will begin reading as the bike begins to move in gear

 
FACTORY RESET 

 

In the event you would like to start over with your settings, preferences and display locations, this will reset all settings back to 
the out-of-the-box configuration.  

 

This includes message locations, color selections and speedometer calibration but DOES NOT include the odometer.  

 

When you see “>FACTORY RESET”, press and hold the switch until “RELEASE” then release the switch. 

 

The options will be “NO” and “YES”. 

 

By pressing and holding on “>NO” it will exit the reset menu. 

 

When you select “>YES”, press and hold the switch until “RELEASE” is displayed, then release the switch. 

 

The screen will “YES” and “RESET”.  Tap the switch once to return to the main menu.

processors. 

 
EXIT SETUP
