    Hi

    I know you can do trans speed based gear estimate (rpm vs speed) but wondering, has anyone ever fabbed up an R6 trans to take a barrel position sensor or found one that can be shoved in there ?

    Thanks

    Way too much work and the new generation has all that. Legacy electronics have no R and D. Move forward with that on your own and make no dollars.

    I haven't done it on an R6 but I have done it on other bikes. What I did was machine the shift drum so it has a ramp where the neutral switch goes. Then we mounted a small potentiometer through the hole for the neutral switch.

    oh thats an idea i hadnt thought of (all my ideas centered around trying to put a rotary potentiometer on the shaft or case)... interrsting. And yea RM Racing I agree looks like a lot of work with no profit but im thinkin of doin it myself for me as a keen hobbyist with too much time LoL

    My 16 R6 had a flash where the speedo was a gear indicator. it was speed based but worked really well. 10,20,30,40... would display for gearing

    Who flashed it? Was it a stock ecu or YEC? I'm interested in this

    I have this on my bike. Mine is the FTECU race team package 2. Not sure if their other flashes do the same or not.
