gipro type-x problems...?
If there is some one who has installed gipro gear indicator could you please help me out?? I have connected the device in yellow/green wire which comes directly from the ecu box, "L" flashes slowly all the time but it doesnīt give me the "1" to start operating. I think that it is correctly connected but whats wrong then? I checked the color in cord several times and so on...
When i but 1 gear in it starts to roll the but i donīt think that its going to get the RPM reading anywhere? So it senses speed but not tacho? Whats the color in RPM wire?? |
i thought those things took guessed at your gear based on rpm vs speed or something funky like that, so youd have to ride around and let it learn. what did the instructions say about first time use of them?

My bike is on rear stand so i can but any gear on etc. So the gipro doesnīt get the rpm signal at all, the instructions sayd that the rpm signal color is yellow/green and thats what the haynes manual says also? So whats fucked up or is the gipro fucked up? I let the bike idle for about 5min or so, it should have found the rpm by then... instructions say that let the bike idle for a little while and the "L" should flash quikly and turn into "1", then but first gear in... Iīm reading the instructions now and i get the feeling that in idle it should found the rpm signal in "seconds". I let it idle for 5min and nothing? |
where did you get the tach signal from? i remember trying to hook up a tach in my old car and thought i could take it right from the cluster, but the cluster would infact take a signal and convert it into rpms so it wouldnt work there. i havent dug too deep into these bikes but is there a tach signal located on the coil? maybe try that if you havent already. sounds like its either not getting a clean signal or the unit is defective

Lol good luck. If you get it working make a writeup. I plan on buying one this year for my bike :)

That sucks man. I'm surprised no one on here has chimed in yet. I'm sure a couple guys have to be running these things. I'm not sure what else to say short of wrapping the wire a few times around a sparkplug wire like they do during the emissions testing. Lol

Tomorrow my friend comes to test the damn thing...he said already that the indicator is busted... He looked at the wiring diagram and said that the correct cord is yellow/green. Thats the wire i tried first with no luck.

You do know that it's a difference between green/yellow and yellow/green don't you? They do vastly different things...
Just checking... |

Problem solved!! The color of the wire was indeed correct in the gipro manual!! Solid yellow with green stripe! The problem in my case was this: I routed the wire too close to other electrick wires and they interfered the rpm signal wire and the result was that the indicator wasnīt working at all!!
Also make sure that the connection to the yellow/green wire is solid before packing everything up!! Got it working today in few minutes with my friend helping me. |
good to hear, let me know how well it works id love to get one in the next little while

New would have costed 113$ or 83+shipping!! Damn thats expensive! |
i would have fixed it with gorilla tape. im more interested in seeing how well it reacts to you down gearing at low rpms while coming to a stop to see if itll keep up
