I think mine shows 3 for third gear... but now I can't be sure... lol... have to go home and find out.

No, not normal. Mine always shows 0 for neutral or 1 - 6,
From looking at the wiring diagram the transmission has a switch with an output for each postion going to the display. What does it flash or what flashes?

I get that when I miss a shift when going clutchless on the upshifts... so I do see that occasionally and some times I have to blip the throttle and re kick it to get it to click up.

Thats interesting, I haven't seen mine do that yet but it makes sense. The switch grounds a wire for each selected position, so maybe he has a open connection somewhere or bad switch.

Just to get this in the correct thread....
I was able to recreate exactly what you described with the "gear" flashing, I slowly pulled the shifter up from neutral to 2nd with engine not running and presto...
So might want to check wiring connections, I just checked to be sure 3rd gear is a yellow wire with no tracer...

I don't have the same problem but something similar......when on a long ride and I downshift from sixth to fifth it will show 3 and won't reset till the bike is turned off and then on, first service very soon so will have dealer take a look
any idea on where these wiring connections might be?

Back of instrument cluster, then it goes to a Male / Female connector I think on right side under faring, then another M/F connector that is on the left side of the engine and looks like it comes out behind the cylinder. I am going by the connections shown on the wiring diagram / parts diagram and some of what I was looking at earlier today as my cluster is becoming loose and I was trying to see why. Spare Parts Finder enter your VIN # and you can go through a pretty detailed diagram, gear selector is under engine cases...

Interesting, I tried to make the same correlation with the clutch but it made no difference, the only time It did not immediately change when shifting was when I purposely held the shifter all the way up and then only occasionally going to second. this was on the rear stand engine running shifting with, without and partially on the clutch.
Also, the clutch switch goes only to the ECU and the 'Starter Interlock' module. The Neutral switch goes to the ECU / Interlock / and Combo instrument, a single wire for gears 123456 goes direct to the combo instrument. So????

From looking at the parts diagram the shift drum has a spring loaded contact pin that contacts the gear indicator switch, my guess from the way it looks / electrical schematic / experience is the ground comes from the shift drum and as it rotates around and back through the gears the contact touches the appropriate corresponding point for the selected gear and grounds that wire. My first thought when the clutch came into the picture is that for some mechanical reason the drum looses contact when the clutch is engaged all the way,,,
