It's funny because I do not understand anything when I read the instruction manual but I learned all the functions watching your video 😀, thank you very much and greetings from Carmelo, Uruguay 🇺🇾
Haha! Brilliant! I'm very happy to hear it mate!
I am exactly the same,I can read and read it and still not quite figure it out then 'see' it and bingo understood, excellent video
Thanks Gordon. Exactly the kind of response I’d hoped for! Cheers.
I like to install an abacus near the triple clamp. Just slide a colored bead across for each gear up then reduce a bead for each gear down. Side benefit, I can solve complex equations while sitting in traffic
Haha! Old skool FTW! Might have to go easy on the twisties though!
Excelent.
Having just purchased this smart unit I can't believe its got all these great functions. Thank you very much for making it so very easy to understand how to change all the functions available, with the added bonus of showing each setting with a counter number to know which section to check out for any further changes...awesome 👍
WOW perfect video I just bought one installed it! but didn't do any changes. now I know simply to do it. Thanks! 👌
My pleasure! Happy tinkering!!
Exact video I was looking for
Finally got one installed on my BUSA!! Let’s gooo
Congrats! Not that it’s that important, you’re probably in top gear 95% of the time! 😆
This video is such a great information video with everything so well explained. Thanks a lot for your time mate!
Flipping brilliant thank you so much. What a nice man.
My pleasure! Thanks you for watching!
Excellent as usual.. I ordered mine and cant wait to install it.. thanks Mate
Cheers Gus, I hope you'r enjoying it!
Best video for the gear display
Thanks Brian.
Informative and entertaining as always Andy
Cheers mate!
Lowering F to 1 makes it awesome. It's like it came w/ the bike from the factory.
Cheers for the tip.
Thanks for the tip. Its the best setting so far for my 04 r6
@@gavinmatt Using PAIR valve block plates made the engine braking awesome.
Nice one Andy. Great episode in the AMC Garage series. Very thorough and well explained.
Thanks mate!
Man, this is info I really needed. I had no idea it even had that button up top and all those features. My FZ6 came with a GiPro installed with no instructions. Assuming mine actually has any of that.
All depends on if its a G1 or a G2?
I'll take a look tomorrow, almost time to take the bike back out here in the frozen north.
Excellent video just bought one, will fit next week :)
Cool, thanks! Enjoy!
Really well explained. Well done!
Thanks very much!!
Very clear information, thank you!
Very happy to help!
Just had one fitted to my BMW G650GS. The X-type doesn't rely on gear position data from the onboard computer/ electrics but instead uses a wheel speed sensor in association with the G650GS inbuilt crankshaft sensor and tacho signal. The wheel sensor is mounted over my front wheel ABS disc. After a couple of failed attempts at getting the unit to "Learn" the gears correctly, the Glpro now seems to be indicating the gear position with about 95-98% accuracy. The readout will occasionally stray from the correct gear but will correct itself within one or two seconds. (basically when teaching the unit, you need to learn NOT to change up until the correct prompts appear on the display- if you make an error, you need to clear the data and default to factory settings before you try again.)
I am fairly happy now with the units performance. No gear is indicated if the clutch is even partially in. Installation of the wheel sensor and wiring took about 5 hours so it wasn't exactly straightforward. (It would be quicker if it wasn't a first install.) This will be an expensive modification if you don't do it yourself.
Glad you got it sorted eventually.
Very easy to listen to and very informative
Thanks
Thanks! Good of you to say so!
Very clear concise video !! 10/10
Very clear walkthrough. Thanks
Thanks mate! Cheers for watching!
Dude, you need more stuff attached to your handlebars. 😃
I'm working on it! Still room for the phone yet! 😉
How about a coffee machine,weather station and pastry heater lol😜😉
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
I think that might be a bit much lol thanks for the sticker my good lady ordered it’s now in pride of place on Gertie the gsa’s top box
Looks like a great bit of kit for bikes without a gear indicator
I really love having it. As many have said, most of the time you don't need it, but when you'Re unsure, it's great to just know what gear you're in. The extra features are very nice in this model too.
Excellent video. Well explained
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, what a great review. Kudos.
Thanks very much!
Top stuff. Very informative. Have duly subscribed to your channel on the strength of this great video. Looking forward to watching the others👍🏻
Cheers David and welcome aboard!
very nice explanation
Thanks JM. I do what I can!
@@AndyManCam i saw you installed the healtech quickshifter too. can you also do a detailed review like this one on the quickshifter too please.
Absolutely yes! It's on my list. I'm just waiting for a free day with good enough weather. Sadly that's getting tougher all the time now that winter is on the way!
The change gear flash is pretty handy! :-)
It's a neat little add on right!
Thanks for this awesome video!
Thanks very much for watching it!
thank you very much for the guide
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
I am going to try that on my fz8-n
Thanks for the vid.✌🏻🏍🏍🏍
Cheers Afshin. I really enjoy having mine!
Andy Man Cam
Any plans to come to Montreal (Quebec) and ride on twisty mountain roads?
If yes, for exchange of motorcycle in Hamburg you can ride my fz8-n or fjr1300es
And I can show you some places you may find interesting for your channel
And when I go to Hamburger to visit my sister I love to ride.
And you can do the same for me if it works for you 👍🏻🏍🏍🏍✌🏻
I would love to ride in Canada! Utterly stunning landscape! Could be a while before i can arrange the ‚sponsorship‘ for such a trip though! But thanks for the offer. I’ll keep it in mind!
Now I want a G2!
It's a tasty little bit of gadgetry!
Top job mate looking good cheers Colin
Cheers Colin!
Thank you! This is a really good video 👍
Many thanks Robin. Cheers for watching mate.
Going to need a second handlebar soon.... just to carry all the additional kit. :D
Haha! You should see it now! There's a USB socket and another RAM mount on there now! AND the phone holder is on the way!
helpful and neat review👌🏽
Thanks very much NaDun.
Nice job andy
Cheers again Dean. These Healtech gadgets really do make it easy.
Thank you for making this video. Have a Yamaha FZR6 (has the same display as your bike) and really want a gear indicator, I think I found my horse...
Nice! Happy to help! If you're worried about compatibility, it's well worth sending an email to the guys at Healtech. They are an extremely friendly and knowledgeable bunch. They both know and love their products so will happily see you right, I'm sure.
Why is this so much better than the rest??? Its 104£ thats expensive so why is it better
Because it just works. As they say in Germany, „buy cheap buy twice“.
Looks like a good bit of kit but have never really seen the need for them, just count and remember what gear your in.
It's that microsecond you save from not having to count that i like! 😉
Good bit of kit that pal
It's a tidy little unit.
Good bit of kit.
I'm a fan.
I clicked the like button with a naked finger ;-)
Oooh. I felt it. So intimate.
Shame it is a wee bit pricey but looks a decent bit of kit and simple to use. Cheers pal
It's not super cheap, but it does work very well.
This is something I can REALLY Use on my own FZ1... So many times, when I am in the twisty mountain roads, it is hard to be certain if I am in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th as I brake hard into a tight curve to be in the 'right' gear to roll on the throttle for the exit... I have a very good sense of what gear I WANT to be in for the exit, but not always sure which gear I got into during braking...
I am a bit concerned about setting the "Redline Shift Indicator" in 2nd gear... I would be running over 160 K/PH...
I’ve loved it for that exact reason! You could do the shift indicator setting on the centrestand, but that could be very sketchy!!
I can see your a TECH guy based on the gadgets you got there. I bet you like checking your Facebook once in a while, mate.
HA! I haven't checked my Facebook in MONTHS! I'd rather be out riding my bike!
Looks like I might have to get one for my cruiser. Wonder why it has to be a tad expensive. Ride safe mate.
I'm slowly learning that with good bike gear, you mostly get what you pay for. Versys one was problem free and faultless for 2 years of heavy vibrations and terrible weather! 😂
Loving the equipment. Can you please list all of the equipment you have mounted in this video
I had the gear indicator.
Healtech quick shifter.
Healtech Exhaust servo eliminator.
Healtech Brakelight Pro.
Oxford Heated grips.
Kellermann Micro Rhombus indicators
Kellermann R2 LED indicator relay.
And I think that's it!
Andy, your bars and dash are starting to look like some kind of mechanised life form, growing eternally until your BIKE LOOKS AT YOU. Can you actually see the dash through all of that? Wait, I know, a periscope as your next accoutrement :P
disekjoumoer You actually know how to spell accoutrement. Sir I bow to you!
Ha! You're not wrong! And there's even more crap hanging off the bars now!
Really good demo. Still won't buy one, but really good demo. 😊
Ha! Thanks!
Hi Andy, good videos.
My GI had the TRE which seemed to help smooth the power delivery.
I’d like to know about the Healtech FI Pro have you tried one or know about them?
Thanks Ian. I don't think the TRE version is/was available for the FZ1.
Hi Andy, really nice review, but do I can tell me one think? Do that gear indicator changing them if u doing quick downshift? I mean u press clutch once and going few gears on one go? Thanks
How much was the gear indicator and is it universal
It was just under 100€. The indicator itself is universal, but you need to get a bike specific harness to fit it.
great video iv been trying to fined out if this with would fit on my thunderace would love some help cheers
Have you checked on the bike database on the healtech website? If so, send them an email. I’m sure they’ll be able to help.
Hi Andy,
I have this same type gear indicator on my 2006 Honda CBR 1100 XX Blackbird and just wondering if you can tell me if this gear indicator should show the symbol 0 when in neutral as opposed to this symbol -
Just curious as some of the other ones I have on different bikes actually show 0 when in neutral as opposed to -
Thanks in advance.
Ps… your videos are cracking man, very easy to follow understand.
Well done.
What happens if you stop the bike in 2nd gear, and then shift it into first while in idle?
It will show a dash ' - ' until you start moving again. Then it will figure out the gear and show you accurately that you're in first.
They should of fitted the unit with 2/3 small white leds the top as a shift light
Nah, that would have been overcomplicated and cluttered. This way the display itself IS the shift light. Neat, minimal & functional.
I had no idea they have to learn the gears.. I thought it just reads the ECU
No, it’s not that advanced. That would require access to the ECU programming and far more complicated coding from the Healtech side. It’s a one time only process though and since then i had no trouble at all. Keep it simple, do it well. 👍🏻
Amazing video, very helpful! Can you tell if it not a problem, how is you fuel consumption per whole tank of normal ride lets say?
Thanks! I get between 250 and 300km to a tank normally.
@@AndyManCam thats ok, i dont know why but i strugle to fit 250km more like 240km per tank... do you know maybe why? Normal ride, nothing fast...
Impossible to say really. Different temperature, different fuel, different tyres, Dirty Air Filter, old sparkplugs, different exhaust system, different altitudes, or maybe just different riding style. I don’t think many people get the mileage that I do. Plus my brake pads are only half worn after 2 years and 25,000km, so perhaps i have an efficient riding technique? We’ll see if that’s different when I’m on the race track next week!
@@AndyManCam Thank you for the answer. You are right. Anyway safe ride mate 😁
No problem! Sorry i can’t be more helpful!
The colour of the numbers, top with helmet cam looks like red, while bottom with Sony bar cam, looks yellow?
Chromatic aberration and optical refraction could well be at play here. I can assure you though, the color stays the same in real life!
Just got a new DS series GI Pro with all these settings and the touch feature, when I set it up and turned on my ignition its flashing it goes up from 1 to 6 thn flashes F followed by 1 continuesly but when I press and hold the touch feature nothing happens. Can't access the menu to default it to factory settimgs or to access the learning step for the gears. Has my head melted
Mine worked great for just over a year and just spontaneously died. Won’t power on 😞
I have the Yamaha FZ8, 2015. Bought the giro gear indicator. But its not the same as yours with the connectors.
I need to put 4 wires together with the bike. The black and red I kno where to put. The green (for the nacho signal (Crankshaft) I can put the same as in the video. But the White wire I don't know. Many u know? I need to put it somewhere between the ecu and instrumental cluster. for the speed signal. Do you have an idea where to put the white wire?
Thanks a lot already!
I’m afraid not Tony. You’ll have to read the Specific instructions for the FZ8. Or contact Healtech customer services. They’re very helpful.
And what about Firmware Code & Filtering?
Firmware code is just he firmware code of the unit. FIltering is to do with how the unti filters the input signals. If it works out of the box, you don't need to worry about it!
Great informative video but Jesus, your dash/handle bars look like an airplane cockpit with 236 buttons and gadgets. Lol
Thanks! Yeah it got a bit out of hand. My current CB1000R is a LOT tidier now!
@@AndyManCam haha I'm just making light hearted jokes. There's a few things I wanna put on mine but I also like it nice and clean. 🤷♂️
It's funny because it's true though! There was a LOT of stuff fitted in there! 😁
I dont see the F for Filtering in the film.
I had that feature disabled. 😜
Would this work on a K5 SV650S? Or does it need the ATRE or DS?
I’m afraid i couldn’t honestly tell you. Have a look on the Healtech website in the bike finder section. Otherwise, send them an email directly. They’re very helpful.
Kawasaki added a gear indicator in the instrument cluster in 2017. I have a 2016 and installed the gear indicator accessory. It's very basic, inaccurate and twice the price.
Haha! The perfect upgrade! ;p
What about (TRE) Setting?
This unit doesn't have that setting for this bike.
@@AndyManCam Yes it does. I found it never mind
Can anyone help cannot get it to learn idle?
What happens for example if you put 1st gear from the 6th gear without leaving the clutch? In a red light.
Δημήτρης Κριτσιανης it stays in a ‘minus’ so no number, just an -
@@ScuderiaGiancarlo So if you put neutral of the 6th, it does not understand it
Δημήτρης Κριτσιανης indeed. You have to release the clutch to let the system know in which gear it is. So you have to ride (or in case of neutral standing) in that particular gear to see were you in. Hope this make sense :)
What Martin said. You have to have the clutch engaged otherwise the indicator doesn’t recognise any gear.
That's an interesting gadget. By the way, doing anythng interesting on the 3rd of June ?
It is! As it happens, I will be in the UK doing a bit of a meet up/rideout!
No shit ! I'd love to tag along ;-)
Plans to follow soonish. 👍
Yesssss ! Be loud. Don't want to miss that.
Hey, Andy, can you tell me the bike had an ABS? I am asking because I did not manage to install properly a PZracing Geartronic PZ300 gear indicator on my FZ1 Fazer 2008 with ABS. It used to work properly with my previous bike - Yamaha XJ6. PZracing lists FZ1 as supported but with no ABS, so not sure if it has something to do with the issue ...
Hi Hristo. No, my bike does not have ABS.
@@AndyManCam Thank you!
My pleasure!
Have you removed the Thunderbox?
Yes, the Thunderbox will shortly be going into the new CB1000R
Hello, I have problems with Healtech GIpro X-Type G2 on my kawasaki ZZR1200. while i am driving flashing 1and wil not change up to higher gear, sometimes it shows the 2nd and 3 gear.but never the right gear. Before it works fine. So after seen this film trying to resset in D and L. But now it isnt been able to learn. It shows the L and 1st gear but not the other gear. how can i solve this. its about 1 year old.
sorry for my very bad english.
Thats annoying. I would say your best bet is to email healtech customer support. They’re extremely helpful and they really know their products inside out!
@@AndyManCam still not working. I called the shop they send me a list to check all possible problems, i called the shop back and explained it to them, the shop owner in The netherlands should call me back butt never did.
You’d be better off emailing healtech directly. They’re very very good at fixing any issues. 👍🏻
i know this a old video but if my indicator is stuck on a dash , what does that mean
Something is wrong. Check all your connections are still good. If that doesn’t help, contact Healtech.
@@AndyManCam thanks for the reply , i got it just had to re calibrate it an rewatched ur vid to remember i need to keep the rpms up
Ah cool. Nicely done! 👍🏻
Mine is flashing gears, what's going on? :(
Changed the mirrors I see?
Oh yes! Decided the minimal look was better suited to this fine looking machine!
what bar end mirrors?
Highsider Ferrara.
What type of hand guards are those? Powermadd? I'm looking for some for my FZ1 Fazer. What are your thoughts on the ones you have? Thanks!
They're horrible cheap ones i got from eBay that flap around like a spaniels ears. I wouldn't recommend!
Tanks for the heads up! One more question; When you hold the clutch in, does the gear indicator show a line/dash for you as well? Mine does, and it's a bit annoying when I have the clutch in when I'm waiting to enter roundabouts/intersections or at red lights.
Yes it does. It'S annoying, but sadly the sensors can'T calculate the gear when the clutch is in. :(
That's what I though. But I don't remember having this issue with either of the other bikes I've put Heal Tech gear indicator on. That being a 2009 Kawasaki ER-6F and a 2011 Suzuki DL650 V-Strom. Installing the gear indicator on those were plug and play, so that might have something to do with it.
Yeah i think the plug and play variants are able to 'sense' their data slightly differently from the bike.
Will this gear position work on race shift patern
Absolutely yes. It works in both directions.
What wind Shield and hand guards are using on the bike?
The windshield is from Ermax and the hand guards are cheap ebay generics.
i got the gear indicator followed exact same steps but it doesn't recognize my gears when am in learning mode don't understand why
Did you make the same mistake I did? Or did you not get to the part where I realised that I’d made a mistake! If it’s not recognizing the gears, then one of the wires is probably wrong. Make sure you’re using the wire colours from the bike, not from the sensors.
@@AndyManCam i took it to a mechanic and they installed really not sure maybe you are right or i have to splice the wires maybe he didn't do that step harness is hooked up though harness number is gpx u01 and that was supposed to be the one for the ktm 690 :/ hopefully mechanic can fix it or hopefully it is not a tech problem will figure it out tomorrow
I’d hate to tell a pro how to do his job, but til it works, the job isn’t finished!! I think you probably need the right harness for the bike. Otherwise they’d just make multipurpose harnesses!
@@AndyManCam i did i even talked to supplier and he said it was the gpx u01 harness for your exact bike i even went on healtech website to find my bike compatibility for harness and it said gpx u01 and that is what i ordered to be specific i am guessing at this point it's just a matter or adjusting a wire or so because everything works so it has to be a wiring issue like i said again i ordered the right harness unless the supplier made a mistake thanks anyways really looking forward to having it work it looks like a headache relief haha
Yeah it’s a real pain when you’re sure you’ve got the right bits, but it doesn’t blinkin work! But that was exactly my issue. I just had a wire spliced in to the wrong place and it didn’t sense my revs.
Mine show the numbers like mirror....how can i reset it?
No idea I’m afraid. Best to contact Healtech.
😁👍🏼🇩🇰
Just maybe you could endorce hair products and hand creams
Just need to get a bit more hair first!
The actual gear indicator looks fine. The rest is just a waste of time and trying to justify the cost.
Possibly. Though I think some of the functions could be useful, in the right scenarios.
Why such a complicated system. When all you need is to know.what gear you are in.
And how do you propose to find out what gear you’re in?! You need the information that the various plugs and wires collect to calculate it!
@@AndyManCam there are simpler systems that calculate the gear position by the gear lever position and through a simple magnetic sensor.
Sound expensive
TBH, not all that expensive. Less than 100€. And for the quality and features, very good value.
My bike 2016 abs xj6. Its didnt work.
Did you contact Healtech to see if you fitted it correctly?
