i don't even bother with it anymore. when i was breaking her in i monitored gear, rpm, and speed but now that i have over 2k miles i don't anymore. now i just monitor range to empty or the time. speaking of range.. i'm seeing 210-215 on a full tank of 93. not too bad.

Rather than use a mechanical method of determining what gear the transmissions in, Harley decided it was cheaper to use a "Best Guess" electrical method using the ECU and various inputs to, as I said, "guess" what gear the bike is in. That's why it gets confused when the clutch is in - it thinks you're shifting. That's also why if you change the gear ratios of the primary by too much it blows it's mind. I changed my primary from 1.35:1 to 1.55:1, and HD doesn't have a clue how to correct the gear readout.
Thanks this answered my problem
I've done the 30/70 pulley change to my 14 fsxb breakout and used a Dakota digital sim-1A to recab the speedo and the gear indicator doesn't work.
6th gear light ok according to tech tho I've not tried 6th yet.
Guessing there is no way to overcome this issue ?
