IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!
SpeedAngle Lap Timer is a device with high technology and powerful algorithm. It is
capable of calculating and producing lean angle measurement real time, and then listing
the results in the Angle History and the Max Angle fields. However, there are times when
the real time lean angle measurement might be exaggerated, such as when:
•
You are maneuvering your bike in a way that is outside normal sportsbike motion,
such as moving the bike backwards, having a highside/lowside, or pulling a wheelie,
etc..
•
You are curving around a bend by turning your handle bar at a great angle (especially
at a low speed),
•
The wheel hits an obstacle or a pothole and causes the bike to bounce,
•
You are curving around a bend whose slope changes midway,
•
The vibration is too much.
More often than not, this is because the G-force behavior is not one of normal bike
movement, or the long axis of the motorcycle body does not point to the traveling direc-
tion ahead due to twist. The GMOS Core is constantly examining if such interaction
exists every time a turn is completed. If the answer is yes, it will compensate the interac-
tion and re-produce measurement results after the calibration. As the records of the
Angle History and Max Angle fields are updated after the calibration process, while the
pointer of the lean angle meter is in sync with the real time measurement, you might see
the reading of the latter larger than the former when the calibration is in effect. In such
cases, the reading of the Angle History and Max Angles should be taken as valid.
Please note that all the logged data have been calibrated.
Please also note that, in the rare cases where the interaction is too severe to be com-
pensated by the calibration mechanism, the calibrated lean angle measurement might
still be exaggerated (sometimes to as high as 69 degrees) or be discarded as invalid by
the GMOS Filter.
