Using your Rider Mounting on a motorcycle 1. Attach the RAM™ mount kit to your motorcycle. 2. Fix the holder to the mount and connect the wires to your motorcycle's wiring system. Important: The red POS (+) contact needs to be connected to the motorcycle's wiring loom at a point between the ignition and the +12V battery supply. The black NEG (-) wire needs to be connected to the motorcycle's wiring loom at a point between the ignition and the -(GND) battery supply.
Do not overtighten nuts and screws. You may crack parts of the mount kit or damage your handlebars if you overtighten nuts or screws. If you are using the u-bolt, don’t forget to put the rubber caps provided over the exposed threads. Important: Damage due to modifications, improper installation, road hazards or accident, are not covered. Neither RAM nor TomTom shall be liable for any injury, loss, or damage, direct or con-sequential, arising out of improper installation, or inability to use product.
A RAM lock for the mount. This lock prevents the unscrewing of the RAM arm from the motorcycle. A lock for the TomTom Rider itself. This lock prevents the disconnection of the TomTom Rider from the dock. Important: Both locks have keys so you need to make sure that you keep these two extra keys with you at all times! To use the anti-theft solution, do the following: 1. Lock the RAM mount to your motorcycle as shown below. Note: Make sure you use the longer screws provided with your Rider lock.
2. Lock your TomTom Rider to prevent removal from the mount. Unscrew the wingnut from the RAM arm and attach the RAM lock.

Sharing routes Installing Tyre Pro You can use Tyre Pro® to search, create and edit routes on your computer before you upload them to your TomTom Rider. To get free access to Tyre Pro®, follow the steps below: 1. Go to tomtom.com/getstarted and select your country. 2. Connect your Rider to your computer to link your device to your account and register with us. 3. Within 24 hours you will receive an email with a unique Tyre code and URL. Use this code and URL to activate and download your Tyre Pro® software.
Note: While viewing your recording, you may notice that the recorded GPS locations do not always correspond with the roads. This can happen for several reasons. Firstly, your device tries to keep the files small and this can cause a slight loss of data precision. Secondly, your device records the actual data from the GPS chip for an accurate representation of where you’ve been, rather than what you see on your screen. Thirdly, the software with which you view the recording may have the maps misaligned.
Tip: ITN files are TomTom itinerary files. Friends may share itinerary files with you or you can download both ITN and GPX files from Tyre Pro. To import one or more routes and tracks, do the following: 1. Insert a memory card into the card slot on your TomTom Rider. If routes are found on your memory card, a message confirms this. 2. Select OK. 3. Select one or more routes from the list on your memory card for import. Tip: To select or deselect all routes, select the pop-up menu button. 4. Select Import.
You see a message Exporting routes. Tip: If there is not enough space on your memory card or your card is not formatted correctly, you get on-screen help to fix the problem. 5. When you see a message that your routes have been exported successfully, remove your memory card to share your routes with other bikers. Note: Each exported route is saved as a GPX file in folder TomTom Routes on your memory card.

If this does not solve the problem, you can perform a reset. To do this, press and hold the On/Off button until your Rider begins to restart.
