Is this what you're asking about?

or this?:

Looking closely, I guess they're the same thing, or is the Holeshot is a cheap alternative? Healtech appears to be the legit manufacturer?

[rphillips]

Thanks, read everything at those places but nothing about problems or fixing anything. sent an email to Hole Shot W/ no response and been trying to get Healtech by phone but not got them yet. I'll keep trying... Also Rich I sent you a PM, or replied to a visitor message to you a while ago, wondering if you saw it?

[Rich82GS750TZ]

I think PMs work better for whatever reason, than Visitor messages. Let's use PMs if you want to converse privately. PMs will always be there when I I look in my inbox, until the inbox gets full. I can't find the visitor messages you sent me, and I responded to last week about the pic of the week game.

Is it the LED in the dash, or the mechanical switch on the crankcase giving you issues?

[rphillips]

Na, I think by "05" Suzuki had probably quit all the OEM gear position indicators. This is some kind of aftermarket electronic thing. Has worked great for probably 7 or 8 yrs. till just now, while still working and showing the correct number, the numbers are constantly flashing 2 to 3 times pr. sec., the numbers shouldn't be flashing when working correctly.

Could that just be bad supply or return to the display?
If it still knows what gear to display there can't be too much wrong.
Could you run a separate supply and see if anything changes.

most of these have a 12V and ground wire to power the indicator, and 5 or 6 wires that are grounded by the switch in the crankcase to indicate a specific gear or neutral.
So check 12V and ground first, could be as simple as low voltage or bad connections.
