Paul, Well due to illness and travel schedule I just got around this past weekend to applying the "sticker" solution to the misbehaving gear indicator on my Flight Deck. Your advice was helpful. For other’s reading this, here is some additional information:

Remove the handlebar tape, lever hood and the signal cable module. Inside the body of the lever is a white rubber sensor pad. The contacts in this sensor pad make contact with the Flight Desk’s signal cable module (or at least they should). The sensor pad is loose inside the body of the lever but attached to a ribbon cable. There is sufficient slack in the ribbon cable to allow you to remove the sensor pad a few inches from the lever body. This will make installing the sticker easier. With the Flight Deck manual, you should have received a small yellow sheet with four small die-cut squares. Each of these die-cut squares is a sticker. When you remove one of the squares or stickers from the yellow sheet, you will find one side is sticky, thus the term ‘sticker’. Using a pair of tweezers or needle-nose pliers (or your fingers, if they are small enough), place one of the stickers between the contacts and the rubber sensor pad. I put the sticky side of the sticker toward the rubber sensor pad. Replace the rubber sensor pad in the lever body and tuck the slack ribbon cable in the space provided for it. Then reinstall the Flight Deck signal cable module, the lever hood and handlebar tape. The Flight Deck gear indicator should function properly. Good Luck!
