High aesthetics and polishability are added benefits. A virtually non-magnetic material, 316L applications include a wide variety of medical devices, hardware components and small tools.

Stem in Barrel Mounting: Each gauge, has a built in stainless steel "Stem" affixed to and through the gauge's back cover; giving it superior strength against stress and vibration.  Surrounding the stem is a clear rubber washer, that aids in the gauge maintaining its position when pulled against the beauty ring.   The new stainless steel beauty ring incorporates a "Barrel"  that accepts the gauge's  stem.  Both pieces are affixed (pulled together) with a stainless socket-head screw and 2" mounting bar from behind -- giving the gauge absolute maximum security against separation from its mounting and the vehicle.  This mounting system is impervious to both weather and temperature and will never wear out or need to be replaced ... ever.   And, each full mount unit can now be run with or without the beauty ring, depending on the users design preference.     The Stem and Barrel™ system also makes chores like changing the battery or thermometer calibration a snap; giving easy access to the gauges internals.   The system can be taken apart or put together in seconds.    Nothing better on the planet!

How to Care for your New Gauges:

Thank you for your purchase! You have made a wise choice of quality and durability. These products are backed by a satisfaction guarantee, and if something is not right, please let us know and we will make it right immediately. The Classic Series gauges are all fully waterproof to 3 atmospheres and our Signature Series models are rated to a full 5 atmospheres. All have multi-year replaceable batteries (clocks) and the best Citizen™ movements (clocks). Depending on your model, they are either alloy metal cased or 316L stainless steel. All use chrome mountings and stainless steel fasteners for years of quality service. 

Fully waterproof!

Your new Formotion Gauges are multi ATM (BAR) waterproof rated. See the back of the gauge for its ATM rating. Special care of your gauge in wet situations is unnecessary.

Mounting, Adjustments and Considerations:

Each unit has four (4) parts: 1: the gauge, 2: a beauty ring plate that the gauge sits on, 3: a mounting bar attached to the rear and 4: a socket-head screw. 

Each gauge can be mounted with or without the beauty ring plate depending on the users style preference. Use the enclosed shorter screw if you prefer to mount the gauge without the beauty ring plate. Upon reassembly or mounting of your gauge, tighten the socket-head screw snugly - do not over tighten. All Formotion screws come equipped with Loctite™ thread locker preinstalled for added safety.

Battery Replacement:

For battery replacement on the clock we recommend taking it to your local jeweler as you would your watch. 

Because the gauge is waterproof it requires special attention when it is reassembled. The gauge's back is a screw back cover that requires a special tool to remove or replace. Most jewelers can easily do this for you. 

You can also send it to us directly, postage paid, with $32.50 and we will refurbish your gauge to new, including battery! 

The battery is a common one - SR626SW, UCC 377, Ray-O-Vac, RW329 or equivalent - and can be found at most local drug stores.

To set the time:

Pull out the stem carefully, and turn the stem to the correct time. Carefully push the stem back in to start the clock once the time is set.

Pulling the stem stops the clock / battery from running and this might be useful if you plan to not use the gauge (say for the winter) to save battery life. Battery life is up to 3 years. 

Some stems on new clocks can be a bit sticky making it hard to move the clock hands initially, this is nothing to worry about and will loosen as it breaks in and is used. Sometimes a pair of tweezers or small needle nose pliers will aid you in setting the hands to the correct time initially but be careful not to pull the stem out of the clock case.

Thermometers:

CALIBRATION OF THE THERMOMETERS:  The factory specification for calibration variance should be within +/- 3-5 degrees accuracy.  If you feel your “GA” Series thermometer is not within the specification, please call us for instructions.  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE BACK COVER OF YOUR THERMOMETER.  IT IS LIQUID FILLED AND YOU WILL COMPROMISE THE FLUID. 

While we have a special process during manufacturing that virtually eliminates any air bubbles in our thermometers, some small air bubbles may exist or develop over time; this is normal and in no way affects the thermometer. 

Moto 360 Compass:

The Formotion Moto Compass has adjustable compensators in its base which will 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:

1. Hold 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).

Mounting Your Moto Compass:

Mount the compass using the enclosed brass "L" bracket.

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!
 

All parts are replaceable, so don’t worry – just give us a shout if you need anything.  Enjoy your new gauges.  And send us a picture of your Formotion bike to put up on the web site!
