Fitted a 2nd hand datatool digi gear indicator to wife's 2002 foxeye. Struggling to program/learn gears. Will program 1st 2nd and 3rd but 4th onwards will not learn at all. Tried numerous times at slightly different rpm and it's not having it any tips?
Also bike seems to have a noise from front end like a bearing despite all wheel bearings replaced. Starts from about 15-20mph onwards makes no difference what gear it's in of if clutch is in or out wondered if anyone has had similar issue?
Thanks

Did you use known branded bearing like NTN Koyyo Fag or SKF with C3 clearance not Chinese cheapos. The C3 clearance is improtant C1, C2 or CN would be to tight a clearance for most wheels.
You could have pushed the bearings in to tight as it is possible on the front wheel of the 600 to have the bearing to tight. It is best to push in the right side fully in first and then the left side until is just touches the spacer. I discovered this when changing the bearing about 15 years ago. When tapping the bearing in the minute the sound changes stop. Check the spacer can be moved side to side not easily but it should move..

Common problem is tyre wear on certain brands of tyres. You can check its not the tyre by doing one of two things. One is free, the other costs a new tyre. Try removing the front mudguard and going for a quick spin. Common culprit is actually wind noise between the mudguard and tyre.

Yeah I used koyyo bearings might be worth stripping again to check the bearings again thanks for that
