Did you get the software and install it yourself? If not your dealer probably set it to the correct value so the 6 works as it should. Once I went in and changed mine it came on normally regardless of whether you get on it in 6th or short shift and loaf along.

PS - once my primary ratio was set to 1.306 (forget what the base is) the 6th indicator has worked normally - it has no other effect on the map you are using.

Do you have the software and interface cable? If not you well need to take it to a dealer who does.

Yes, I have all that but haven't messed with it yet. Kind of skeerd to attempt it till I become a little more familiar with the software program. So, where do I find this "primary ratio" setting in the software? Is it in the advanced settings?

I have a TTS and had the same problem. The issue is addressed in their tech bulletin. After I adjusted primary gear ratio, I was good to go. http://www.mastertune.net/files/Tuni..._Bulletins.pdf

Since this SERT was installed by a certified dealer, I wonder if it could be a warranty item by another dealer. The reason I ask is the bike was originally purchased at a dealer about 80 miles north of me and programed there. I'll check with my local dealer and see if they can make it right. If not, I'll try going into the programing myself and find this primary ratio setting.
