| | Posted : 27 Jan 2012 - 20:45 Post title : Healtech Gear Position Indicator | | | I am considering fitting a Healtech Gear Indicaor, The Thunderbird model number is GPDS-TO1 RD. Healtech tell me it is just plug in! However you have to connect 1 wire via a wire tap connector to a power source that is "Key Activated ". I imagine the plug in connector must be direct inot the ECU plug. I have not been able to source a wiring diagram .Can anyone tell me the colour of a wire that would be active once the key is on.

GIPro DS Series (Gear Position Indicator) Installed ~ Dash (Almost) Complete!
It's simple to install... you just have to find a nice piece of open road without too much car traffic (should be easy in Oz!) to "train" it... procedure is pretty simple, too. It's all in my write-up/photos in the link above.

an indicator to tell you you are in top would be good.
normally a check on the speed and revs tells you
but i have been one of those riders that has tried for 7th a few times
as for the gear indicator, i was considering adding one after narsiscos thread but a lad i know has had his unlearn a few times and has to keep teaching it.
not sure if that is a common issue.

Weird... mine never gave me a stitch of problems, ever. It worked reliably from the very second I got it "trained". It was very nice to see that little blue indicator out of the corner of my eye as I was banging through the gears in the mountains/twisties, too.
Obviously, this is not a device for you hardcore "true believers" and no one's gonna force you to go out and install one. But, please don't pee the the Wheaties of those that like the idea and want one.

I have a Healtech Gear indicator fitted on my new Thunderbird. It wasn':t working when I bought it. Triumph dealer tried to get it to work but failed.
So I read the manual and all that was wrong was that no one had ever calibrated it properly. I have not pulled the wiring about but I know that one cable is plugged directly into the ECU socket flying lead. The power source on my bike is taken froma live feed taken off the rear light. That is a live feed when you turn the ignition key. It was really simple to calibrate/program the uint. I remember I had to clean out the memory by turninmg the key on and off six times. Then the unit had to "learn" the gears again. I chose a quiet sunday and a straight bit of road and you just ride it in first whilst the display flashes then it moves to asking for second gear and you move up until it flashes for 3. And so on. It learns each gear . You must go all the way up to sixth gear. then it double flashes and it is then working. It extremely useful for a beginner like me and it changes instantly you change gear both up or down. It also shows neutral.

Where/How did you mount the display for the gear indicator?
