I know this an old video now and I really appreciate the making of it but just wish if anyone is going to take the time to make a vid that they purchase a tripod first it's so annoying watching people fumble about using one hand dropping stuff all over the place.

Shouldn't the gear position indicator show a number 1 when in first gear then 2 for second gear, etc? What good is an indicator if it only shows a dash?

Gear indicators are stock on Versys 650 now. Don’t know what year it started, but my 2018 has one in the gauges and there’s not really a need for one of these on mine

I just purchased a 2019 Versys 650, My bike indicates which gear it is in via the LCD panel. Do the earlier models not do this? This would be a redundant Gear indicator for my Versys.

Gear indicator tip: I found this out the hard way... If your gear indicator has a short cord, it connects in front, as Dave showed. If on the other hand it has a really looong cord, like over six feet, coiled up? Then it may need to connect to an identical plug located BEHIND the tool kit. Why, I don't know, but I bought one with a long cord, and it didn't work with the front connector. I was ready to send it back, but then I noticed an odd photo on the eBay page showing the connector going in back. After trying it out...BINGO, it lit up and worked. This required snaking the cord and socket back through the right side of the bike, which I managed to do after removing the small thigh panel. Great joy and happiness! I cancelled the return. Got my gear indicator for $43 on eBay.

So glad I found video. My 1st motorcycle & needed this video. Thank you so much😀😀. I installed my Gear Position Indicator. Followed your detailed instructions. So proud of myself. Took about 2hrs, probably would have taken less time if I was more tool prepared & that windshield, mmm but pretty easy overall. Riding today 💃💃💃 'Lovelife'

the gear indicator is based in revs and speed so not 100 % accurate. The OEM part is over $200, my friend bough a china made indicator for $50 off of ebay and it does the job and come with the right plug adapter that plugs directly into the OEM part. OEM is very expensive for a part that is not 100% accurate. I would try the China just to see and not a huge investment.

So you pay an outrageous price for a Versys, then you you buy all the parts that should be standard for the price you pay. Kawasaki must be laughing all the way to the bank. The more you entertain them the more they will give you less. Soon an engine will be an extra.

SHORT: => Yes you need the relay. LONG: Hello, I read on french forum (kawette.fr) + on the technical spec that the relay is mandatory for any combinaisons of "gear indicator" / "USB outlet" / "additionnal light" / "additional accessories". Without it you will have no current inside these plugs. CAUTION : specs also mention to not go over 5A and 40W for these accessories lines otherwise battery cannot be charged enough and will be drained. Answering 4 years later "might" be outdated, but for anyone coming now, you have the answer :)

Very helpful, I'll be adding the power outlet this weekend. One thing I discovered is that the OEM power outlet for the vulcan is literally the same as the versys, but only 20 bucks as opposed to $85. If you look at the installation instructions for each one, the actual DC outlet part #s are the same. Such a ripoff haha

Michael McConahay the actual part number is in the install instructions. There's the part number on the site for the package/item, but each component in the package has its own part number and that's where they are the same. I installed it on mine and everything was a perfect fit
