| Gear Indicators Why dont bikes have an indication display as to what gear your in? Or do the newer bikes generally have a display? It doesnt bother me but I have heard some new starts complaining about it. |

| Re: Gear Indicators Most bikes don't have them fitted as standard but there are aftermarket gizmo's available. You get used to the gearing anyhow after a short while just the same as you do in a car  |

| Re: Gear Indicators Right or wrong, I just kick down with the clutch in several gears depending on the situation!! I'm finally getting used to what gear I'm in without an indicator too, found it hard at first but find I'm keeping a mental note of my gear without realising, which is pretty cool! Andy |

| Re: Gear Indicators I find myself forgetting what gear I'm in, especially approaching junctions and roundabouts. That said, the Marauder is tractable enough that when I cock up and try to take a roundabout in third - or even fourth - it'll at least get around it! Neil |
