Economy light to Shift light???
**Edit** **Disregard, I thought there was an actual bulb for the "economy light"**
What are the possibilities of turning the economy light to a proper shift light, looking totally stock???

Anything is possible but I doubt that's worth the time or the effort

Umm, it's not a light. It's a symbol that appears on the display. It's not dot-matrix to my knowledge so you can't change the design even if you change the function.

At least one of the aftermarket gear indicators includes a shift-light.

Why are you looking down to know when to shift? That sounds like a horrible idea...

Check this site out if you really want a shift light. I have one for my car and it works very well in that you do not need to watch it. I doubt I will get one for this bike but if your set on one a progressive shift light like this works well.
Hope this helps. http://www.ecliptech.com.au/ |

Not mad. Thought it was funny, you questioning someone's use of a shift light.
A proper shift light will be bright enough to see in peripheral vision. It will be set to light up just before peak power. So you shift at peak power and have no wasted time/energy/power. Ideal for all out racing. I will not be racing. I thought I needed to get rid of an idiotic eco light. Thought a shift light would be a fun thing to replace it with. Now I know the "light" is just a eco symbol that flashes on the LCD. My new goal is to have someone reprogram my LCD to flash a frowny face when in eco mode!

I get why you might rather have a shift light, but what makes the eco indicator so bad? Why is it "stupid?" My brother's car's shift light is tuned for economy and not performance, so they can be "stupid" too? It doesn't hurt anything, and adding a shift light while keeping the eco indicator just mean you have all the info for whatever situation you are in (aggressive vs. fuel efficient). You won't ALWAYS be racing, you know?

Did you buy your bake to save gasoline itself, or to save money spent on fuel? Bikes cost more than cars in the long run. Have you ridden a 300? The damn eco thing is annoying.

I'm confused. You had not ridden a 300 when you decided that you wanted to get rid of it. How is it annoying though? Does it beep? Blink in a way that's hard to ignore? From what I understand it's a little like complaining that your car radio has a station indicator display you don't use because you only listen to music from your phone. That's fine, I just wanted to know if there was some real reason to get rid of it. |

Enough said. The rest is greed.
You are one of the FEW Americans that may have saved money long term by owning a bike. You are the exception. I thought the eco feature would be dumb as an extra light before seeing it. Even though it's not an actual light, the Eco display has proven dumb and annoying. It is annoying because it is flashing all the time. Maybe I need to ride more aggresively so it doesn't come on.

Idk man, schizophrenics have trouble tuning out minor annoyances, like say, the sound a fan makes while they are having a conversation or small black icon while they are riding

People, you're overthinking this.
I can get rid of your annoying eco light / distracting speedo issue for about a buck: Hey, it's helped people with all kinds of things in the past. Check engine lights, those dumb oil idiot lights..... |
