Cali 1100 Carbed - Gear indicator?

My old Yamaha Fazer had a Gear indicator displaying what Gear I was in.

Weirdly, I have never cared for this one bit, until now I dont have one, I am missing it.

Can I get one on the Cali?

It might be useful for when I somehow manage to find one of the gears among all the neutrals!

Seriously though, how do they fit and are they a good idea on the guzzi?

:rofl:

You should know that Guzzis are famous for having more neutrals than gears.

If your vision blurs then change up. If it chugs and splutters change down.

Blurred Vision = Up, Chugging = Down. CHECK!

You know… as much as I am having a giggle at that… We both kind of know that its actually sound advise on a Guzzi! LOL

HAHA Poor guy… He only has 4 neutrals…

I see your 4 and raise you … Well… A lot… A Very lot.

Actually, this is typical Guzzi behaviour!

I{ asked a question about gear indicators and its turned into a mickey take on how many neutrals we have! - I love it.

Get a T3 cali mate it only has three-quarters of a neutral :face_with_raised_eyebrow: lurking between 1st and 2nd somewhere :thinking:- plus a little light to hint you might be close! to finding it. :grin:

Ah, I think mine has one between 1st and 2nd too!
I have had a couple of moments of fun, and I have opened her up a little bit here and there and I have found that sometimes, getting her into first, can be a little iffy and so I often have to feather the clutch to make sure she is in, or I will be revving like a nipple instead of moving off, and also going from 2nd to 3rd it can slip and again find a neutral and rev like a bellend.

I am simply making sure that each gear change is a long, and deliberate process to make sure that I have fully clicked her into the gear required… Almost taking enough time to make a cuppa while I am doing it, and that way I find it does bypas the neutrals better.

Also, it has half a dozen links for the gearing and so thats not helping either!

I find that lightly pre-loading the pedal before shifting and a deliberate movement rather than snatching at it works for me! also never need the clutch when shifting 3rd to 4th or 4th to 5th. all about knowing your own bike i guess!.
