Full Mounting Hardware and Instructions Included.
The Formotion 35MM Moto Compass has
adjustable compensators on its side to allow you to
calibrate your compass, compensating for magnetic
interference which could be found in the mounting
area.
All Formotion Moto Compass compensators
have been set at the factory to the neutral position and may be
perfectly calibrated right out of the box for your bike.
SORRY, WILL
NOT WORK ON HONDA GOLDWINGS.
If you feel that you are getting
magnetic interference that may cause false or inaccurate readings,
follow the simple calibration instructions below. A full
copy of these instructions is also included with the compass.
Be sure to face your vehicle to TRUE North, East, South and West
headings while doing steps 2,3,4 and 5 of the following
instructions:
Compensating Instructions:
It's easier than ever to compensate
the new 35MM 360 Moto Compass because all the adjusting screws
are reachable while the compass is attached to the bike!
1. Attach the compass in the desired
mounting position.
2. Head NORTH, turn the N/S compensator screw very slowly until
the dial reads "N".
3. Head EAST, turn the E/W compensator screw very slowly until the
dial reads "E".
4. Head SOUTH, if the compass does not read exactly "S", turn the
N/S compensator screw just enough to remove only half the error.
EXAMPLE: if the reading is off 2 marks on the dial, then adjust it
to make the dial read only 1 mark off.
5. Head WEST, if the compass does not read exactly "W" then follow
the same instructions as in line 4 using the E/W compensator
screw.
NOTE: Use only the adjusting tool or dime to adjust the
compensating screws. DO NOT use a steel screw-driver (This will
affect the compass magnets).
IMPORTANT:
The new 35MM 360 Moto Compass internal magnets are very strong.
We did this because they are designed to be used in motorcycles
and other powersport equipment that can incorporate a lot of
metal and or other material that can produce false readings or
even stop the compass from working properly at all.
The 35 MM 360 Moto Compasses strong
internal magnets helps eliminate unwanted distortion from the
surrounding metal on your vehicle but means that you have to be
very sensitive when you turn the compasses compensating screws
to calibrate your compass: a little is a lot on these settings.
When the compensating screws are at
a horizontal position they are considered in the neutral
position. Start with both screws in this position.
Follow the instructions above, but be careful not to turn the
screws too much: never turn the screws fully vertical as this
positions the internal magnets at the compass ball in a very
direct and strong way and you may find that it is so strong that
the compass may not spin freely. Your settings should
always be degrees OFF the vertical position either way.
Remember, turn the screws very little for each calibration step.
Mounting Your
Moto Compass:
Mount the compass using the enclosed brass "L" bracket.
Click
Secure the notched end of the L bracket to a 1/4 inch screw or
bolt on the vehicle with the large opening of the bracket on top,
ideally a windshield acorn bolt or switch housing screw.
Slide the compass stem bottom into the large opening on the L
bracket. Once sitting atop the "L" bracket, slide the black
plastic spacer over the compass stem and secure using the enclosed
washer and short sockethead screw.
All our gauges are waterproof and the compass is no exception.
Special consideration in wet conditions is unnecessary.
Remember; mount
the compass as level as possible so that the rotating internal
indicator does not hang-up on the glass and can spin freely -
ENJOY!
