Bigdan Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Twice today my gear display has vanished only to display a horizontal line. The bike runs fine. The second instance a quick off/on returned the gear display to normal. Has any one else encountered this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Grum Posted May 14, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted May 14, 2019 Yeah I've had it happen only a couple of times in 63,000k's, seems to sort itself out quickly, don't think it's anything to worry about. Apart from the 3 gear logic switches, it also uses speed and rpm for gear indication, guess on the odd occassion it just gets itself a little confused. Are you using standard size sprockets?

HareBrain Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I get it sometimes when I shift without enough force, and it sort of finds gear despite me instead of because of me, if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatshoutybloke Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Mine does that if there's slight pressure on the gear lever, like you've changed up and left your boot underneath it lifting it slightly rather than releasing it completely. As Grum says, it always sorts itself out quickly when it redoes its calculations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Bent Posted May 14, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted May 14, 2019 Mine does it too when I do a lazy shift. Shift properly and deliberately and it isn't an issue. That's my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdan Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 okay thanks all, yes still on the standard sprockets. Maybe my change from adv Sidi boots and now using a sidi track boot is taking time for me to get used to. I have found my shifts to be much more easier because of the lower profile boot and subsequently likely I’am not shifting properly with enough force.

Member Contributer fink Posted May 14, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted May 14, 2019 It’s down to operator error, I’m still doing it after riding the bike for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
economist Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Yeah, it happens from time to time, but only after weak shifts from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepretender Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 First time it happened to me I pulled over to try to figure out what the bike was telling me. Turned it off and restarted the bike and figured it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetePower Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Yep not on your own, poor shift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinWoods Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I had the gear indicator drop out on me this morning. I was downshifting to avoid traffic and it’s not have done it forcefully enough. Once I shifted again and it had time to think, the indicator returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikem317 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Same here. I think it's happened four or so times to me. Again, weak up-shift from me. Most often times when I'm at a lean. User error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
