Gear position indicator ?

[Stormbringer]

Anyone fitted a gear position indicator and if you have where did you tap in to the loom?

[CatalinU]

I just got one from ebay. Not fitted yet as is cold in the winter

I fitted a HealTech to my Gen1. The instructions were quite straight forward, but could be different for your FZ8 though.

[agricola]

Yes. FZ6 S2 fazer though. Healtech Gipro. Theres a recent thread in the FZ6 pages, may shed some light on it for you

[robbo]

If the model for the FZ8 instructions are similar to a Gen 1, then other than +ve and -ve, you'll need to identify the crank position sensor lead, and also the speed signal wires coming from the ecu. Using a multimeter and a needle to pierce the insulation, is how I identified the correct leads. If you go for the HealTech GiPro make sure you order the model specific to your bike.

Robbo, which model of Gipro did you get, seems to be loads of them!

[robbo]

From memory it was the GiPro X type G2. There are some moody Healtech copies about than can cause ecu problems. If you go on the Healtech site, you should be able to input your bike model and it'll tell you which GiPro is suitable.

[Stormbringer]

Got the Glpro 2 .
It has a touch pad and Shift warning as well as some other features.
All fitted and works like a dream .

[Johnnylad123]

Yep just checked their site, X type G2 is the listed model for a Gen1.

What's the part number for the healtech kit for the GEN1?

[robbo]

Have a look at the last post, and my last post.

Was it a plug and play fitting?

[robbo]

No, you have to identify some wiring under the right hand panel, so you'd need a multimeter and a needle to be able to pierce the insulation to test which lead is which. Somewhere on the forum someone took my in depth fitting info, and made it into an advice feature, but I can't remember who that was. The fitting instructions are quite clear. Maybe making a bracket to mount it on is the hardest job.

I was looking for a thread on how to fit a healtech gear indicator, couldn't fin one

[robbo]

Can't remember who I pm'd the info to, but just buy it the instructions are really straightforward. From memory there's one cable to splice under the right hand panel, a plug and play cable that fits between a snap connector, and then some power. If you take the screen off to fit it, you can make a bracket to fit the display above and between the speedo/rev counter.

I am such a noob. Couldn't finmd that one anywhere. THX a million for that, that's more then enough

[robbo]

I knew it was somewhere, thanks MrAgricola. CatalinaU, that will save you having to mess about with a needle and multi meter , unlike when I fitted mine .
