Default FP3 question

I thought I read something about the FP3 will show the gear selection not that I need to know what gear I'm in just curious I have the 4 pin FP3

I had thought so too, but the email I got from V&H after inquiring with them, indicates that gear position and fuel economy data are only available on the 6 pin (canbus, '14 and later for touring) model.

Ok thanks I was just curious. I guess if I don't know what gear I'm in by now I shouldn't be riding. Lol

14 up the gear is displayed in the speedometer only when the clutch is out. Sitting at a stoplight in second gear you're not going to know it. Done that a couple times myself.
