there is such a thing as a gear indicator... but I'd just get used to remembering where you are based on speed vs tach indicator as it's a good way to get more familliar with your bike.

I figured out early on that if I match my speed around 35mph tach is around 3K rpm, then I'm probably in 3rd gear... same with 4th - 45mph @ 4000rpm, 5th and 6th - 65mph, 6000rpm.

My speedo quit working on my Zuk years ago. I knew in 5th gear the RPM matched the road speed. 5k = 50mph for example.

they were so easy to fix back then, since they were run off the front wheel.

I know it. I just never got around to fixing it. I could change all 4 plugs in that bike in 10 minutes. Took me 2 days to do the 2 plugs in the Buell the first time.
