Once you have run the bike through all of the gears, place the bike back in Neutral and the
gear indicator should show begin to show
“N”
in a few seconds. The unit calculates
wheel speed and engine speed to determine gear position, so if the wheel speed sensor is
connected to the rear wheel and the wheel is still turning, it may still show the bike in 1
st
or
2
nd
gear even though the bike is actually in neutral. Upon coming to a complete stop, the
display should show
“0”
on the left side of the display. Occasionally, upon
stopping fully, the display will still show a low speed, like
“4”
or
“6”
in the
speed window. This is normal and it will go back to
“0”
as within 3 seconds.

NEVER RELY ON THE GEAR POSITION OR SPEED INDICATOR ON
SPORTVUE TO BE A RELIABLE INDICATOR OF NEUTRAL BEFORE
LETTING OUT THE CLUTCH. YOU MUST STILL USE THE BIKES OWN
NEUTRAL INDICATOR FOR SAFETY REASONS. THERE ARE
CIRCMSTANCES WHERE THE GEAR POSITION INDICATED WILL NOT BE
CORRECT IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION DUE TO THE WAY SPORTVUE
CALCULATES THE GEAR. THE SAME HOLDS TRUE FOR SPEED. THE
SPORTVUE DISPLAY MAY OR MAY NOT SHOW THE CORRECT SPEED.
THIS IS ONLY AN AUXILARY DEVICE AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON
FOR SAFETY REASONS.
Setting the Shift Indicator
Your new SportVue is equipped with a user-programmable shift indicator for advanced users.

Learning to Use HMD
Before you begin using your SportVue HMD on the open road, we recommend you wear your
HMD Unit-installed helmet while seated on your motorcycle to see how it feels.
Look in all directions and see how the information is always visible. The more you practice
looking, the easier it will be for you when you take to the open road.
It is important that you
not
fixate on the HMD Unit display, but practice glancing up at it briefly,
when safe to do so.
Do
not
practice while the engine is running, whether the motorcycle is on its center stand or not.
