Change up lights

[flyingjase]

I'm new to the Tuscan fold and have an 'S' - I was thinking:-

Green 6000
Amber 6500
Red 7000 (as this is where the max power is)

What do you have yours set at?

[G20RG B]

Same as mine.
Although its been a few weeks since I managed to light any of them!!

On the one hand, there are those days when you really get a grin out of them coming on so you could set them low for more s.

Depends upon whether its on the highway or for track where change up is a critical matter not just a good feeling!

I think mine are set back at default. In third, the first comes on at "one unit". (Private highway, not the Queen's one, obviously! )

Yep, same as mine also.

Can you choose when they light up?

Have a venture into the screen set up when you have a mo. (It's also in the RTFM, but you're forgiven for not doing that ) You can set them however you want to the nearest 100rpm IIRC.

Hello Ron, OH and the Tuscan!

BTW - I think that IS the default (from a quick squizz at my handbook - although my screen needs a bit of a talking to, it's lost quite a few lines in this cold weather )

The previous owner must have been playing with them then, cos my green comes on at 5000 (Fair too low!)

Went out yesterday, first time for three weeks. That's how I know my Christmas tree lights are still working - the speedo and screen are both playing up, but at least I know (if I stay in third) when I'm going to lose the licence not just piffle around with a few points!

Jeez - they're breathtaking. Go easy with the right foot unless it's dry, folks!!!!!

(Actually mine is a pussy cat if you can get into bimble mode, much pleasure even at trundle mode! OH !)

I think some people might set them even lower, first one as a warning of 3k while warming up, for example - it makes some sense....

That does make perfect sense!

I've got my first change up light at 2500 - for the warm up
6k for intermediate and 6800 for max - as that's as far as I'll
ever need and by the time I see it it's probably at 7k anyway

[NCE 61]

I have mine at 5400 RPM for the first one (ie max torque) 6000 RPM for the second and 6500 RPM for the red one, I have not see a dyno chart yet from a 4 Litre Speed Six engine that produces any more power beyond this.

[Bob the Planner]

I have mine at 5600, 6100 and 6600 just so there is time from the last one before the 7200 rev limit (non-S). IIRC 7000 is the max power point for my car however the max power point for the S is higher (as is the rev limit)

The lowest the first light, can be set on a Tuscan is a lot higher than that.. 4 or 5k IIRC

[Bob the Planner]

There are two sets of software in the Tuscan pod. The early ones are set with quite a high lower limit however the later ones are different - it may be that they can get down to 2500.
