Shift Lights

I have mine set as high as it will go. I don't pay those suckas any attention anyways. :violent1: ;D

Got mine set where the first green comes on right where I want to shift when drag racing: about 9500 RPM according to the whacko tach. That way by just shifting one light higher or lower I can play with my times a bit.

It doesn't seem to make much difference though. The launch is where the big changes are made.

I killed the fookas as they are shite.

Mine are still set at break-in, I never look at them anyway, the rev limiter will tell you when to shift. :horse:

I have mine set to peak torque same as you. Don't look at them much in truth - especially when pulling hard. Too busy watching the mirrors for flashing blue lights!!

+2....what lights???

I have dual stage shift lights on my Veypor VR2 dash. I set the first to go off 1k before redline 8,500 and lights up brighter and flashes at 9,000rpm.

I have mine set as high as possible, Yesterday was the first time I even noticed them much. I generally ride by sound and feel. The tach lies at high rpm (reads low), but the lights seem to be correct.

Sunlight glare makes them pretty much useless to me. By the time I try to focus on them I might as well just look at the tach otherwise I'm banging the rev limiter.They are real pretty at night though ;D

Shift lights, what shift lights?? ;D

Turned 'em off. Too many stages and too dim to be useful unless you are conciously staring straight at them.

I would prefer for all LEDs to be brighter red and to light up at the same time. Maybe they would also work better in one tight cluster, instead of being sprinkled all over the side of the dash.

It would be easy to rewire to get what I want, but I am a bit hesitant to try and pry the gauge cluster open as it looks to be sealed at assembly.

I say....loose the light and put in a gear indicator......

Why not make those leds indicate something useful like let's say... police radars?

S'easy. IIRC four or five screws and the 2 halves of the pod just pull apart (gently!). Take care not to loose the silicon sealing band.
