It took a while to get my new gadget. First it was out of stock everywhere in Australia (the wiring loom part at least), then the shop ordered the wrong loom. Finally, nearly two months later all the ducks lined up, the Ts were crossed and the Is were dotted too and the package was sent out.
I reckon only half the ducks were lined up as the pre-negotiated express postage turned into standard postage by some half wit, so that added nearly a week to receive the goods on the other side of this Great Southern Land.
Then due to other commitments, there was another week on the top of that, so FINALLY today I got to install it.
The loom connects into the injector connector and its other half into the injector itself. The other side is the same. There is an earth wire as well in this loom. The length is tailored to the bike so it fits neatly under the two small covers over the throttle bodies and a few cable ties later the whole thing is invisible with the covers refitted.
All in all it was 15 bolts to undo and refit, including the gear shifter. This is where the tiny load cell fits, right under the bolt sandwiched between two supplied washers. Neat.
After that you just plug in two plugs into the unit and call it done. The brains is less than half a palm size, comes with self adhesive Velcro already fitted.
Took me about 45 minutes all up, but a whole heap more cable ties than they supplied. Call me a neat freak
Once it is all fitted and plugged up, they want you to fire the bike up to make sure it sounds and runs as before.
If all seems well, fire up the bike and connect the app (that you supposed to install on your phone prior to installation of the device). You need the bike running as the unit draws power from the injector supply so after the initial startup test, the unit will go out as the injectors power down.
Once the bike is running, the app will ask you to join the device's Wifi network and you can begin the setup process. This is an important step as the software makes some initial assumptions that you may need to correct. For example you need to set the redline according to your tacho. I also changed the minimum rpm the quick sifter becomes functional from 3000 rpm to 2000. Very easy process, especially if you read the explanations the app gives you in each step. Kudos to Healtech, they came up with a very polished product.
When completed you can save the settings if you like. I named it "default" in case I need to reset later.
There is an excellent pdf of the various settings that you can change to suit the bike and your riding style. I downloaded that to my phone so it is easy to just pull over on the road side, change something on the phone and continue your ride to test. Brilliant.
This is where I am now, ready for the first ride. It will be with a pillion, so I'm not going to play with any of the settings, going to just use it in default mode and have a play tomorrow.
The photos didn't really show much, its is such a small unit, it wasn't worth the effort to post them.
Will let you know how the first ride goes and the subsequent tuning ride by myself tomorrow.
