THE ABE IS ONLY VALID IF MOUNTED ON TWO- OR THREE-WHEELED VEHICLE AND THE
WHEEL CIRCUMFERENCE HAS BEEN ENTERED IN THE SETUP ACCORDING TO THE INTEN-
DED TIRE ROLLING CIRCUMFERENCE (TABLE IN APPENDIX). YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE CORRECT SETTING OF THE WHEEL CIRCUMFERENCE AND THE NUMBER OF WHEEL
PULSES AS WELL AS FOR THE CORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE SPEEDOMETER SENSOR.

4 Safety Advice
• BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY WORK ON THE VEHICLE‘S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. TO DO THIS, FIRST DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE
TERMINAL THEN DISCONNECT THE POSITIVE TERMINAL. WHEN RECONNEC-
TING PROCEED IN REVERSE ORDER.
• ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE IS STABLE BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION
WORK.
• USE ON VEHICLES WITH BATTERY POSITIVE TERMINAL CONNECTED TO VEHIC-
LE GROUND IS NOT POSSIBLE.
• USE ON VEHICLES WITH A 6V VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS NOT POSSIBLE.
• USE ON VEHICLES WITHOUT A BATTERY IS NOT POSSIBLE.
• INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION MAY ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED
SPECIALIST PERSONNEL.
• ALL CABLE CROSS-SECTIONS MUST BE DIMENSIONED ACCORDING TO THE
CURRENT FLOW.
• THE VEHICLE MUST HAVE A EMI (Electromagnetic Interferences) SUPPRESSED
IGNITION SYSTEM
ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS IN THE WIRING HARNESS AND AT THE TERMI-
NALS MUST BE MADE PROPERLY AND CORRECTLY.
5 Plug & Ride
The Plug&Ride versions of the Chronoclasssic are equipped with a suitable vehicle plug and moun-
ting plate. No adjustments need to be made to the instrument. Only the approved vehicle models
and model years are compatible.
BMW R9T 2017 - 2023
Loosen the two fastening screws on the holder of the original instrument, disconnect the plug from
the instrument, remove the instrument with holder. Attach the Chronoclassic retaining plate to the
fork bridge using the two screws and plug the connector into the vehicle wiring harness. Route the
plug connection under the tank. Riding modes, heated grips and the motoscope pro are operated
using the original buttons on the handlebars. Certain functions such as switching offthe alarm
system or cruise control cannot be operated via the Chronoclassic.
Harley Davidson BigTwins ab 2011, Sportster ab 2014 (HDLAN)
Replace the original handlebar clamping plate with the Chronoclassic bracket. Route the cable under
the tank to the OBD (onboard diagnostics) connector and plug it in. Certain functions such as the fuel
gauge and deactivating the alarm system cannot be displayed or operated via the Chronoclassic.
6 Attachment
The instrument is mounted on a flat surface without distortion using three M3 screws. The minimum
screw-in depth is 2mm. The tightening torque is 1Nm. The use of liquid, medium-strength threadlo-
cker is recommended.
7 Connection
7.1 How to route wires
Before starting, look for a suitable cable route. It should be as far away as possible from hot engine
parts. Look for a suitable place to join cables and if necessary connection plugs as well. There are
usually similar connection points in the wiring harness in the headlight, under the tank or in the
cockpit.
Before shortening the cables, make sure they are long enough. Also consider the steering angle and
suspension travel of your vehicle. All connection cables should be laid without kinks, strain-relieved
and well insulated. It is best to use the crimp connectors supplied. Pay particular attention to additio-
nal insulation protection at points subject to greater mechanical stress. We recommend using plastic
cable ties to lay and secure the cables.

7.2 Battery and power supply
The Chronoclassic works with voltages from 9V to 15V DC. Operation on vehicles without a 12V
battery in the vehicle electrical system is not possible. It cannot be used on vehicles with a positive
battery terminal on the vehicle frame. Please ensure that the polarity of the supply voltage is cor-
rect during installation.
THE MINIMUM CROSS-SECTION TO BE USED FOR ALL CONNECTION CABLES IS 0.5
MM². THE RED CABLE MUST BE PROTECTED WITH A 1A FUSE. IF IN DOUBT, HAVE THE
CONNECTION CARRIED OUT BY A SPECIALIST WORKSHOP.
8 Menu button, Tachometer, Speedometer
8.1 Menu button
The instrument is operated via a push-button. One pole of the button is connected to the green cable,
the other pole of the button is connected to vehicle ground. The polarity of the button does not matter.
8.2 Tachometer
All ignition systems that work with ignition coils are compatible. Connect the yellow connection cable
to terminal 1 (switched ground from the ignition box) of any ignition coil. Connection to CDI ignitions
(scooters, quads, enduros) is possible with the separately available motogadget ignition signal pi-
ckup (item 9000001).
The ignition system must be fault-free for the speed display to function correctly. Settings must also
be made in the instrument setup. Please follow the instructions in the corresponding chapter.
THE YELLOW CABLE IS CONNECTED TO THE PRIMARY CIRCUIT OF THE IGNITION COIL.
IT MUST NEVER COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE HIGH-VOLTAGE CIRCUIT.
8.3 Installing and connecting the speedometer sensor
8.3.1 Use of the original speedometer sensor
If the vehicle has an electronic speedometer sensor with three connection cables that outputs a
ground signal, this can be used. Hall sensors (two connections) are not compatible with the Chrono-
classic. The signal cable of the sensor is connected to the white connection cable of the instrument.
If no speedometer signal can be detected, the motogadget speedometer sensor included in the
scope of delivery is used.
8.3.2 Using the motogadget speedometer sensor
The speedometer sensor supplied is a reed switch. The magnet supplied is attached to a wheel
using 2-component epoxy adhesive, whereby the distance between the magnet and the wheel axle
can be as desired. The speedometer sensor is attached to the vehicle with a retaining plate so that
the magnet and sensor are parallel to each other. The distance between magnet and sensor must
not exceed 4 mm and the sensor must not touch the magnet. The retaining plate must be stable
enough to ensure that the distance does not change even when the vehicle is in motion. The tigh-
tening torque of the sensor nuts is 1.6 Nm, use screw adhesive (medium strength). One cable of
the sensor is connected to ground, the other to the white cable of the instrument. Please note: the
magnet demagnetizes at temperatures above 100°C (hot brake system).
