So I was poking around and cleaning last night when I found the neutral switch. Looking at how it works, it would be dead easy to make a gear position indicator which is a modification I've wanted to do for ages. My main question is: Does anyone know what the contact point in the image called?
I cleaned up mine a while ago and thought the same thing. Could probably just use a brass screw, countersink it a little on the inside, and secure it with a daub of silicon and a nut on the outside I bought one of these digital gear indicator's off ebay, show's up to 6 gear's, no neutral Led display is red, but i have found that the blue led's are slightly easier to see during the day in bright sunlight https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1-Pc-Un...520383&hash=item3aee5450c1:g:dlwAAOSwU2VZmZHV This is the matching plug and gear pickup sender, it's for a 4 speed https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/5-Wire-...822679&hash=item4af7a32f3f:g:328AAOSwPhdVFP-~
Well my thoughts were the standoffs you get for motherboards, I should be able to bridge the positives of a row of 6 or 7 LEDs and using the ground at on the standoffs as a means to select the lights (plus a few more bits and pieces thrown to make it all work) I like the ideal of using a lcd like that though, maybe when I finally put a pi in the thing
While it's one of those things for which I see no use... Have a look at the switch mechanism from a 6 speed Suzuki - GS450, GSX250/400 etc. they'd be a fairly easy adaptation.
Found that the TDM850 and TDR850 look very close, a late 90's R1 look's very close too Some of the TDM850 are neutral switch's only though
haha, the ones on the fzr are the same part number on the TDM850 The one that has all the sensors is: 4TX-82540-40-00, however megazip does not currently have any in stock and does not list any other bikes that use it. From the below link, it appears that it only uses 2 of those sensors so you still have to modify it quite a bit (so kinda not worth buying one) - it also includes all the info you need to make one http://www.tdm-yamaha.890m.com/index.php?page=GID
