Suu Kyi Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 The gear position indicator on my 2019 Tracer 900GT has started to display a blank in 1st gear, even though the gear is firmly engaged. Happens only when the engine is warm/hot and going from neutral to 1st. When this happens, if I select second and then go back to first it works ok. I've removed the sensor unit from behind the front sprocket and cleaned it thoroughly with 0000 grade (fine) steel wool followed by contact cleaner. Once again it all displays ok stationary when clicking through the gears with the engine off, but problem returns when at operating temperature. Can do anything else or are we looking at a new sensor? Thanks, Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enx Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Replace it with new. I had the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimbim18 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I just posted about the same thing about 2 weeks ago. But my issue is in second gear Some are able to fix it by cleaning the sensor. Didn't work for me. Considering how new the bikes are it's more likely the sensor needs to be replaced. I just decided to ignore it, I know when I'm in second gear lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteinpa Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I haven't had to do this myself (yet) so this post is based on theory, but do you also clean the part that touches the contacts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suu Kyi Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 Tried all the cleaning recommended, didn't work so have it booked in with the dealer next Wednesday to have the sensor replaced under warranty, will keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimbim18 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Seems like a pretty common issue, considering how many of us are discussing this. Almost like they know it'll usually last longer than the 1 year warranty and don't care after that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suu Kyi Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Had the sensor replaced under warranty today, all good. Second warranty replacement, the first was the front brake switch which caused the cruise control to malfunction, now this. Staying positive......
