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 Ultras, Road Glides etc with Stereo Speakers.  It's the MAGNETS!!

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!
