Stinky Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 On my first long trip on the 2019 Tracer GT I noticed that a turquoise blue light comes on at 127km/hr in 6th gear. It is on the middle right side of the display. It stays on from 127km/hr and up. It disappears at 126km/hr. I have not seen it come on any other time. I did not see any writing or letters on the light. And to be honest at 127...I can't exactly fixate on a tiny light to try and see what symbol it is. Does anyone know what that thing is or does??

bugie Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 You mean the gear shift light indicator? That comes on when you are at high revs and it is telling you to change gear. Can't see why it is coming on at 127kph in 6th gear though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincep Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I am guessing that is where he has it set for RPM and it equals 127km/h. You can go into the settings and adjust it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugie Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Yeah but he claims he only sees it in 6th gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinky Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 bugie is correct. It only comes on in 6th gear and always at 127. Maybe my Tracer has 7 gears???? I'll adjust the settings and see if it changes. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the other gears take your bike past that rev range and it should light up too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems funny that a shift indicator would come on in 6th gear.....unless there is a 7th gear I have not found yet? I also have not noticed the light coming on any other time but at spirited freeway speeds. Pretty weird, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That comes on when you are at high revs and it is telling you to change gear. Can't see why it is coming on at 127kph in 6th gear though Yeah, it comes on in every gear, it's just a light that illuminates when RPM's are higher than the set point. It comes on in 6th gear as well, as silly as that is. After all, the E CU knows what gear the bike's in, could disable the shift indicator in 6th, but whatever. And, for reference, @betoney is correct - this is a function of the GT's TFT dash. @Stinky - I'm sure you've figured this out by now, but 5000rpm is the default setting, so that sounds right. Note that you can change the brightness of that light (Shift IND Brightness), you can disable it entirely (IND Mode: Off) or make it flash rapidly (IND Mode: Flash). I like Flash, personally, but only when the RPM level is set high - I set mine at 8k - so I don't have the light bugging me at regular highway speeds. Flash makes it pretty noticeable, so you want it high enough that it's only going to come on when you're really "On It". After all, you can set the Tach bar color change setpoints for "regular" shift indicators if you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
