I never thought much about a gear indicator until I took the bike out to the track and was doing multi-gear shifts at once. Taking out the 636 with a gear indicator is bliss and takes that little bit of less mental concentration on mechanicals to focus on BP.

I would highly recommend one if she struggles with tracking gears. I'm considering putting one on my 250 as I like the double check when down shifting rapidly at sudden stops on the street. Is it a little bit lazy? Yes. Does that matter if it makes for safer and smoother riding? No.
