and skill, find your braking points and best line, or even compare your ride with oth- ers’ for further improvement. GMOS at a Glance Your GMOS comes with a dashboard unit and a sensor. The dashboard unit re- ceives GPS signals, processes and stores the data transmitted from the sensor, and communicates with the computer.
Sensor Sensor WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT The sensor must be installed THE DASHBOARD AND/OR parallel to the bike body, SENSOR WITH ANY DEVICE vertical to the ground, with OTHER THAN COMPUTERS. “UP” pointing upward and OTHERWISE, THEY MIGHT BE “FRONT“ toward the front of HARMED.

Drive Mode, or you see such lean angle graph pattern as the figure to the right in the analysis software SpeedAngle R4: The bike is leaning into a turn, but the angle degree measured is near 0: too much vibration.
Installation Checklist After installation, please use this checklist to help ensure the installation is correct. □ Is the sensor installed to a location that will not move, swing, wag, or turn? □ Is the sensor installed to a location with least vibration? □...
Getting Started When GMOS is powered on, you will see the Welcome Screen appear, displaying your User ID (can be edited via SpeedAngle R3), GMOS model, and its registration number for 5 seconds. SPEEDANGLE RIDER You can press any key to skip the wait.
Drive Mode Drivie Mode is suitable for open road cruising. Start your ride after you enter Drive Mode. GMOS will display the riding motion data collected real time, including GPS speed, top GPS speed, acceleration/deceleration G, real time lean angle, max left/ right lean angle, and show the max angle history of the last three turns.
• The max log time is 7 hours or 254 logs. • If the REC Icon does not appear after you press SELECT to start recording, this means the system can not record logs. A message will be displayed in the Message Area indicating the reason: the GPS module is still position- ing;...
Lean Angle History lists the max angles of the last three turns. Updated every time a new turn is completed. A right-aligned number represents a right turn angle degree, while a left-aligned number a left turn angle degree. • Lean angle degrees less than (including) 15 will not be displayed in Lean Angle History.
MEMORY FULL: displayed when SELECT is pressed to start recording, but 12:30 the system memory is already full, or during data logging MEMORY FULL when the memory is full. In the latter case, the system will continue to function except that the recording will stop. Please download your logs and then clear the memory to release the memory space.

TROUBLE SHOOTING NO SENSOR Q: Why did the “ ” message appear even though my sensor was connected? Please check if the sensor cable and the device cable are porperly and securely connected. Make sure that the arrows on the cable heads align with each other, and then insert the plug into the receptacle until you hear a click.

Q: Why did the GPS speed read 0 when I was riding? This happens when the GPS signal reception is poor and there are not enough satellites available to provide sufficient GPS positioning data. The GMOS GPS Core will continue searching for more satellites and will resume its function once the GPS signal reception improves.

The third reason might be that a wrong Track was selected. As the Finish Line location was not within the track area; hence, the Line was never crossed. Q: Why did the latest record list the record of my sessioin before last instead of my latest session? The record will not be overwritten until you cross the Finish Line and produce a lap time in a new session.
