Like other bike, and dont know why KTM have no gear indicator on the dash! i know i can buy one from internet, but i want to know if it's possible to add this do the multi-fonction dash..

It's like the TPMS ? i have it in the dash, but no valve seem's to be availible here! Someone know where i can found it ?

Thanks.

2011 models do have the GPI. The TPMS was availiable as a option for a short time and then discontinued. Guessing because it didnt work correctly.

Ok... finally, the 2011 is better than my 2010... but a lot $ more.

This gear indicator, it's possible for me to add this? may-be mecanical part for the sensor, and programmation of the dash ? or it's impossible to do this?

As far as I know you can not retrofit it. The UK guys have looked into it and its a no go. Prob need a whole new dash, computer and wiring to do it.

You can fit an aftermarket GI, but locating the appropriate wires may prove challenging. As nickn suggested, the UK guys have beaten this one to death with no real resolution.
