Hey guys, I just replaced my gear position sensor but still have no gear indication on my dash….any advice other than make sure the connection is good?

loke do I need to ride the bike for a bit before it picks up like the TPMS tire pressure sensors s on cars?
 
D'you know the 'three fan ECU' clear trick?

Start the bike, warm it up, until the fans kick in.
Turn the bike off, the fans will keep running.
When they stop, restart the bike. Let it warmup until the fans kick in, then turn off until they stop.

You need three cycles.

ECU should clear the errors.

Will give it a try thanks
 
IIRC, if you get the flashing -- symbol, you need to do the gear learn procedure.

fan not working so that clear codes trick not working lol

where do I find the gear relearn procedure?


Nevermind, found it ;-)

Is a general outline of how to do it, but I think with the V4 bikes you need to set it up with DDS or the like.

I did it once on my bike while working through my QS issues. I don't remember ever seeing a "C" on the dash, just the flashing "--" sign. It took me like 10 tries to get it right and for it to take.

This set of instructions made more sense to me...

.

ATTENTION: During the procedure, check the dashboard to ensure that the coolant is always above 80° C / 176° F.

ATTENTION: The gear learning procedure must be carried out with the engine off and the instrument panel on.

ATTENTION: If during the gear learning procedure the instrument panel is switched off, all of the stored data will be deleted and the procedure must be carried out again the following time the panel is switched on.





  1. Secure the bike and lift the rear wheel using a stand.
  2. Make sure the clutch switch works properly.
  3. Set the gear to neutral and turn on the engine until the coolant temperature reaches above 80° C / 176° F.
  4. Turn off the engine, leaving the instrument panel on and the gear in the neutral position.
  5. Act on the clutch lever until its end stop and wait for the "C" letter to flash in the dashboard in the engaged gear display.
  6. Release the clutch lever. Make small movements on the rear wheel, turning it forwards and backward, to engage the first gear. Do not apply excessive force to the wheel.
  7. Act on the clutch lever until its end stop and wait for the "C" letter to flash in the dashboard in the engaged gear display. The gear has been learned.
  8. Release the clutch lever. Make some small movements of the rear wheel, forwards and backwards to engage the second gear. Do not apply excessive force to the wheel.
  9. Repeat the procedure until reaching the sixth gear.
  10. Make small movements of the rear wheel, forwards and backwards, to downshift until reaching first gear and then shift to neutral. Do not apply excessive force to the wheel.
  11. With the gear in neutral, act on the clutch lever until its end stop and wait for the gear display to read "N" neutral position in the dash display.
  12. Release the clutch lever. Make some small movements of the rear wheel, forwards and backwards, to engage first gear. Do not apply excessive force to the wheel.
  13. Act on the clutch lever until its end stop and wait for the number "1" to appear in the dashboard of the gear indicator, flashing approximately for one second.
  14. Release the clutch lever. Make some small movements of the rear wheel, forwards and backwards, to engage the second gear. Do not apply excessive force to the wheel.
  15. Act on the clutch lever until its end stop and wait for the number "2" to appear in the dashboard of the gear indicator flashing for approximately one second.
  16. Repeat the procedure until reaching the sixth gear.
  17. If the gears are displayed correctly then the procedure has been completed successfully.


NOTE: At the end of the procedure, carry out a further check of the correct gear learning. Engage one gear at a time and make sure the engaged gear is actually displaying in the dashboard.

Hi bro..your problem “no gear indication” solve ?? What happens? I having this problem also..
 
You have to do the tire calibration setting to reset it after replacement.
Noted i will go to calibration.
I change new sensor position for panigale, after change all work find but after few hours engine off when turn on gear engage to “..” when run the bike after 70culcius indicator work as normal.

Anyway thanks for your advice
 
Got the Gear position sensor working, and the air channel to keep it cool, thanks for your help guys!

Steven, I hope you are well. I had the same issue and tried filling the above procedure. It's still not working. Would you indicate if there is anything I need to do for the V4 that allowed yours to work?

Have you fitted the air duct?
 
I am trying to follow the relearn procedure but it’s not working. I do get some sort of results but the gears are not in the correct sequence.

Have you fitted a different sensor to the original one? If you try and fit a later sensor, you will need to do two things:
1. Change the plug (simples)
2. Change the gear selector shaft (or, whatever the shaft is inside the gearbox with the magnet on it.)

The relearn procedure can only be done in a dealer, and it will only relearn the gears for the correct sensor. It can't relearn a new sequence.
No idea why they changed the shaft positions between the bikes.

Nope. It’s actually the same model sensor for the 2019 V4s. You went to the dealer?
