hscooter52 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I've been noticing that the gear display flashes and sometimes disappears when shifting into 5th gear and doesn't return to normal until shifted into another gear. It doesn't happen all the time and only in 5th gear. It doesn't drive any different so I'm thinking its an issue with display. Anyone have this issue or know why? Thanks.

norcal616 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The gear position sensor is probably dirty,just needs to be wiped off, had the same problem on my FZ-07... 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal616 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 It's located behind the front sprocket cover...on my FZ-07 it was overstuffed with grease...I just wiped it off with a clean rag and did a quick wipe of the sensor hole but still left a little bit to put a smear of grease on sensor face before I reinstalled it... 2012 wr250f - C-class 30+ age group 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition-80whp 2015 fj-09- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich tune by 2WDW @120whp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was doing this the last few months last year and still doing it early this year. I did an oil change yesterday and it has been perfect. Maybe some debris removed in an oil change? I have no other explanation, but mine was doing this 100% of the time and was out in 5th most of the time. I rode 60 or 70 miles yesterday and when I noticed no problems with 5th I spent as much time in 5th as possible to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinsv Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Well I was premature, today it was back to the usual going out in 5th. I guess I should've waited to post. Maybe I'll need to open it up and clean the sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member fjray Posted March 15, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted March 15, 2021 My 2017 has this problem in 6th gear only and not right away but I notice it after I've been out for a while the 6 is gone. Its still a gear indicator, when there's a blank in the dash, I'm in 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member micah2074 Posted March 15, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted March 15, 2021 The switch down next to the front sprocket needs to be cleaned or replaced. Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BVEBRAD Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Mine was doing the same thing a few years ago. Once I replaced the Neutral Indicator it hasn't happened again. Cleaning the original did temporarily fix the issue but it didn't last long. The new part is cheap and easy to replace.
