Acuman Digi Gear - Easy Mod

[Doorag]

I've decided that I really need one of these now. I went into a roundabout at a fairly good pace but was in a lower gear than I thought. I dropped down to what I thought was 2nd and as I waqs going in letting off the clutch I was actually in 1st! Almost a brown trousers moment but I managed to control the sliding rear and get into the turn ok but I definitely will be getting one of these.

In case anyone else has problems with a DG8 on a 2008 UK spec bike, and to close down the problems I was having with my installation, here's what finally happened. After not getting anywhere with the programming, and after re-installing from scratch, I finally took the bike down to Acumen as they were out of ideas as to what was wrong. They were (as usual) extremely helpful. They checked out the wiring, and after various other tests, swapped the DG8 over for another one as everything else looked fine. That new one worked perfectly straight away. It took only seconds for the DG8 to learn each gear in programming mode.

Acumen did comment when they were looking in to the problem that my bike was producing quite a bit of electrical noise on the tacho pulse. Mine was the first 2008 model they'd seen.

The gauge cluster is on its way back to me and I'll post some night shots when I get it back.

That's nice. I'm sure that this will be one of the things that they upgrade on FZ6's in the future.

Looks really slick in the factory cluster. Mind taking some pictures of the back of the cluster when you get it back in your hands?

That looks amazing!!!
