G meter doesn't move

When recording (iPhone 5S, Ram X-Grip) I can see the g-force (little dude on a motorcycle) moving in relation to the bike's movements, but when the video was rendered adding the overlay the g-force meter never moves throughout the video.
Any ideas?
Thanks

[Moved to Using LapTimer]
Please configure your motorcycle as a separate vehicle and select "Motorcycle" as the type. For motorcycles, measuring lateral acceleration does not work as it is done from the driver's perspective (lean angle neutralizes lateral acceleration measured). Instead, LapTimer allows you to calculate acceleration from GPS and displays a lean angle instead.

I think I did that already (set it up for my S1000rr) Would I get a motorcycle graphic if it were configured for a car?
Thanks

Please check if it is selected as your current vehicle. In Timer View, press the small wrench in the top right and select your motorcycle. With the bike selected, you should see a lean angle video preview.

Thanks. It is and was specified and I did see the lean angle in the video preview while riding and shooting video.

In case you don't get the lean angle in the overlaid video, please select the lap in Lap List, press Recalculate and select Acceleration. Once this is done, revert to the original video and overlay it again.

Thank you, Harry. That resolved the issue.
