Gipro install instructions

CanberraR3 said:. Click to expand Thread starter. Thanks guys. Let us know how you go with it You'd be better off just learning to count the bloody gears and throw it in the bin then let me in there go work some magic for you. Oh and Hanso too I suppose. Also got some helpful info from HealTech - great crowd to deal with.

I was starting to doubt my diagnosis anyway because the GI did work once in a while and also the neutral light had flickered yesterday while I was in 1st. Anyway, the GPS was covered in muddy wet stuff, presumably from the wet ride over 2 days coming home from Hervey Bay and also last week here. Several hours riding in heavy rain. Gave it a good clean out and all's well with the world. Will get a new O ring next week and have it noted as something to check it from time to time.

Post reply. Insert quotes…. Similar threads. HealTech of Hungary are probably best known for the SpeedoHealer speedometer calibration device they build for most modern motorcycles, but they also make gear position indicators, timing retard eliminators and an OBD On-Board Diagnostics interface reader for Suzuki motorcycles. The TRE aspect of the indicator was my prime motivating factor in selecting the HealTech product over making my own indicator or perhaps looking at the similar offerings from Acumen and BikeTronix.

Another option would have been to get a TRE separately such as a Nikko G-Pack or make one, but it quickly becomes more expensive than the HealTech product not to mention taking up more space on the bike. The HealTech GIpro has either a red or blue single digit display protected by a layer of Plexiglas, which is about one inch high, making it is easy to read at a glance.

But it can be quite hard to find somewhere to mount it on an unfaired bike like mine. There is a light sensor built into the indicator to allow it to automatically dim or brighten the display depending upon the level of ambient light and this can also be further adjusted to suit you using the button on the base of the display. In practice, this means that the illumination is reduced during the night time and increased during the day to ensure it is always readable and at the same time not causing too much glare.

Of course, the main function of the indicator is the fast and accurate display of the currently engaged gear, which is achieved by directly reading the motorcycles gearbox sensor. Whilst it comes pre-programmed, if you do find that it is regularly displaying the incorrect gear information then you can put it into an auto learning mode and train it where the gears actually are.

It is, as you would expect, completely waterproof although HealTech do not recommend using high pressure water washing equipment near it, which you probably will not be doing anyway as it is likely to be fitted right by your steering head bearings! If the bike suffers from battery failure or a loss of charge then the GIpro has a flash memory store so that none of the custom settings are lost. Finally, the GIpro also includes an automatic ignition timing retard eliminator with the aim of smoothing out the throttle response and releasing more power from the engines low and mid range in gears one through four.

It achieves this by essentially tricking the engine into thinking it is in sixth gear no matter the gear that is actually engaged whilst automatically accounting for the idle map when the bike is in neutral. The device comes in a small box with a few cable ties, a couple of stickers, some Velcro tape and the all-important manual, which contains very helpful and thorough installation instructions for your bike.

It comes with connectors that are the same as the original equipment on the bike so there is no splicing of wires or soldering required during the installation. As you can see in the photos there is simply a male connector and a female connector, which go in between the connectors already fitted to your bike.

There is also a third wire included in the harness that needs to be connected to power for the gear position indicator to light up. Also, I am not sure if it was just my unit but there was a very strong petro-chemical smell from the display and the box which took quite sometime to go away after fitment. Completing the installation is a very simple and trouble-free affair as one might expect with only three external connections required to the bikes wiring harness.

Separating the aforementioned connectors then allows you to easily plug the GIpro in between them. This then only leaves the red power wire which needs to be hooked up to a source of positive twelve volt the ground is sourced from the bikes gear box sensor connectors.

Once connected to the power, the GIpro will light up for a moment before entering sleep mode until the bike is started. I settled on a location between the top yoke and the handlebar mountings where it is partially obscured but perfectly readable. When the bike is first started, the display will automatically come out of sleep mode and indicate a zero for neutral and as you would expect, when you move off and go through the gears it instantly updates with the selected gear. Whilst moving, the large screen is very easy to read at a glance and it soon became a very handy addition to the bikes instruments without being distracting.

The gear position indicator will automatically adjust the brightness of the display so that it can be read in all light conditions, which is a brilliant addition to limit glare in the night time. I found the default brightness settings were perfect for me, but for those who wish to customise it, the sensitivity can be adjusted through the button under the display.

The GIpro responds to gear changes very quickly, but I did notice that mine could sometimes be fooled into thinking that second gear was selected even though the bike was really in first gear. This only seemed to happen as I moved from first to second and back to first whilst stationary when parking the bike or sometimes at very slow speed. As mentioned before though, if it does not perform correctly then it can easily be taught using the auto learning functionality.

Once you get to the media menu of your GoPro app, select a video of your choice. Selecting a video will give you more options and tools on what you can do with the video file. The small blue box on the bottom of the video is the play or pause button of the video. On the opposite side of the play button, you will find the slow-motion icon tool. Videos recorded at 60 fps frames per second can be edited using this tool so you can slow down or speed up the motion.

Below the play button of the video, you will see more tools, which are trim, grab a photo, share, information, download, and stickers icons. The trim tool allows you to crop the video to the length of your liking. Next to it is the grab photo tool where you can drag the player cursor on the video and take a photo of a particular frame that you like.

Beside the grab photo tool is the share tool, which allows you to easily upload your video to your social media accounts. Next is the information tool that will give you information on the video. The last tool is the stickers tool. The stickers tool lets you add stickers anywhere in your videos.

Do take note that when the video file is too large, you will not be able to edit the video directly unless you download it first. Downloading the video will convert the video file if necessary so that you can easily edit it on the GoPro app.

You may notice that the resolution of the live view of your GoPro camera on your phone will not be in full HD and will look quite pixelated. This is because the live view on the GoPro app is just to give you an idea of what your GoPro camera is capturing. You will find that you have to transfer your image or video files from your GoPro camera to your phone to see everything in full high definition. A unique feature of the GoPro app is Quik Stories.

This feature lets your GoPro app see the recent video or footage taken from your GoPro camera. You will then be prompted to download the footage. The GoPro app has recently integrated Quik editing and remote control tools that gives users all the functions they need in one place. The new app now allows its users to edit photos and videos directly on the app with ease.

The new app design now features camera control, a media library that allows editing, a quick movie editor, and a settings menu. This allows you to correct the angle and the alignment of your video against the horizon.

This is helpful if your GoPro camera is mounted on a bike or drone, or a car. You can get a perfectly leveled shot easily. The Quik editing software is made for computers, but its features are also included now in the latest GoPro app. In the Quik Story editing section, you will find 10 themes that you can choose from.

These include adding an opening title, a closing animation, and a music track. You can also trim videos and turn them into the right size to your liking. You will find that you can also adjust the ratios into a , , , or , ready for publishing to any social media profile or video streaming platform of your choice.

These editing tools may not be the most professional tools to edit a full-blown movie or short film. But these are very easy to use and fast for phone apps. You will be able to easily edit more with different software, but for quick editing, ready for uploading, these tools are very helpful and will suffice.
