Came off the SoCal on ramp in 4th and ran mph up to 70 (about 500o rpm) and then shifted into 5th then 6th. However gear shift indicator is stuck on 4. Turned everything off. Started up but still show 4 no matter what gear. Refueled and reset odom hoping this might do something …. but still shows 4. Any thoughts …. I have shop manual so I will look for something there also. Cheers ….Thanks everyone for feedback. Per Mr PeekingDuck, I assume my problem is the rotary switch ($90).

It appears that the switch is not being turning since it displays the same gear '4' while the shift drum rotates. The gear indicator display is simply an LCD display that has no memory. If the wire for 4th gear was pinched, it would display 4 all the time but would also light the segments for the other gears as the bike was shifted. That's why I don't think it is an electrical fault.
There are 2 bolts that hold the switch in place. If they have backed off for some reason, and the switch backed out, that also could also cause it. Unfortunately, dealer techs hate going in to repair something twice - likely they will order the part and install it regardless if it just came loose or is easily repairable.
To access it, you would pull the shift linkage off the shaft and remove the countershaft cover. It should be forward of the shift shaft. If the switch is replaced, you are entitled to the old part. I'm really curious on what the cause and the cure is, and maybe a picture of the broken part or fault. Good luck.
