I didn't see the unit at that link.
@@robertbrandywine here you go mate. www.amazon.com/shop/caferacergarage?listId=1GGB2H8HAJB5A
How is this not already built into the bikes. It seems like it adds so much more safety to your riding.
in the instructions they don't actually tell you how to change the mode. This is the only video that actually explains it. Thanks for that!
I’m actually thinking of buying these 2 modules because of your reviews...thanks, great video!

Love your self deprecating honesty, Mate. Let’s get you some LEDS in those taillights next! Have a great week, Dan! 🏍👍🏍
Thank you mate, I'm here to help but I make mistakes along the way just like all of us, no point hiding them, Iv made more friends by being honest and Vulnerable than I have by trying to BS people. This bike will be getting a Cafe Racer makeover soon, More than just LEDS lol
Thank you again Gary, How is your ride going by the way? Sent me a PM message on my FB page with a pic of it facebook.com/CafeRacerGarageAU/
Cafe Racer Garage glad to hear it, buddy! Looking forward to seeing the entire process. Sorry I don’t do Facebook but could email you something if you’d like.
Gary A all good brother here is my email caferacergarage07@gmail.com
Cafe Racer Garage sent ✔️
Oops I gave you the wrong email 😬 my main email is caferacergarage07@gmail.com
Thank you for your videos, I find them interesting. I too installed the STS turn system, and just like you I somehow reversed the channels. My system was working like yours in the first video, which is to say it was OK, but not worth the money. I watched this video yesterday and found your correction. I went out to my shop and discovered the error, corrected it, now my system is working better that I ever imagined, I even ordered another system for my Triumph.
I do suggest you redo your first video and include a warning about reversing the channels, had I not watch this video I never would have known.
Alonzo Walker you have a very good point and thank you for your comment
what is the correction? I installed the turn system on my Ninja 400.....and it is working similar to the first video. It is not turning off promptly like it does in this video. I will gladly take some advice.
Very cool, I was just complaining the other day on a ride about how I kept leaving my turn signal on. And hey who does not like a bit more notice when I am braking!
Thank you brother, you always have a positive comment and I enjoy seeing your comment come in :), I tried to cover everything in this video but if you have any questions on this let me know.
I have one installed and it's way too sensitive. People riding with me were confused as why i was braking all the time. I will remove mine.
I wonder if adjusting the angle of the sensor up would reduce the sensitivity?
@@nathaniel4fat I bought one, and it's useless. In order to adjust it so that it doesn't flash all the time, you have to make it so insensitive that it doesn't work at all. And even then it flashes on bigger bumps in the road.
Yeah very cool!! I'd seriously consider installing both... we'll see
About not deleting and reposting your first vid... the thing is, if people fall upon the first video while searching or cruising around vids, they might not get the full story, even if you do the correction in the description (who reads anything anymore).
I think if you really like the system and don't want to "screw over" the brand that does it, you owe it to them to have a nice, squared correction...
That's my take
Love the channel, love the vids
Cheers
You have a good point, maybe I will do a remake of that video, thank you for your kind words and support my friend.
(Canada) thank you for posting this video! I couldn't figure out how I was going to connect to the rear tail lights (2015 750 Honda Shadow Aero) it seemed to me that I'd have to somehow squish the module in between the wheel and the fender LOL
I also really impressed with that turn signal cancelling accessory, wow I had no idea that it was so sensitive.
One slight issue, "Canada Post" charged me $14.79 tax, and $9.95 "handling fee" grrrrrrrr! LOL
........has left a comment to support this channel.
Wow! That's something new, these are really cool!
I love them :) Yes very cool and not many guys know about them so I hope this video helps my fellow Cafe Racer riders like yourself :)
So, I've just received my ST2 brake module, there are quite a few reviews online saying that it doesn't work as you have indicated in this video, so I'm not sure if I should send it back or install it.
Are you still sold on this product, or has time proven that it's not as good as first thought?
Love the channel btw
I like the idea, great for the the safety aspect but not a big fan of those cheap splicing connectors, haven’t had very good luck with those.
I have SBM on m Renault Twizy, great product, made in Slovenia... But I prefer the option with flashing STOP light
I don’t like the fact that you can’t turn off the blinkers yourself if you ever turn it on by mistake.. that’s a deal breaker for me. Hopefully they fix that in a future version. I just got the braking module though and am excited to try it out
interesting, must be an accelerometer or damped mercury switch? Could come in handy in HKG, the most common accident is rear enders, some poor chap was killed paying the toll at one of the tunnels, apparently the woman that hit him, thought it was the autotoll lane, whilst watching a movie whilst driving, the mind boggles
Oh nooooo that is terrible! What location was that in? We are so vulnerable on the road when we are on our bike and the 6 guys that invented this module did an amazing thing for bike riders I think :)
Brilliant idea.
Sweet. Needed. Thanks
What about when you change lanes? If you signal a change will it go off when you get in the new lane - often the lean is not that great!
Does the light also continue to pulse when applying the brakes during normal braking all the way to stop?
You think this will work with newer bike can bus systems?
Están chingones tus videos 👍🏻🏍👍🏻
How long does the flashing stop from the time you engine brake?
Just got them bro thanks for the videos. See how i got installing it to my cbr650r :)
That’s fantastic you won’t be disappointed. Come back and leave a new comment with your thoughts on them :) can’t wait to hear what you say
@@CafeRacerGarage installed the brake light dont know if they work yet but was a bit confusing with my wires on the honda cbr650r but think i got it right seeing it flashed once when i turned it on :)
I have a 2020 cbr650r. Do you have a video or diy on installing it
Hey buddy,have you had any dramas with the sts2 smart brake module,as some people have stated,that its simply a "tilt" switch,like on an old pinball machine,that uses ball bearings in a copper tube,to work,cheers. I currently have an offer from them for the module for $67 lifetime guarantee.
Don't bother. I bought one, installed it, and it's terrible. It flashes my brake light almost constantly every time I hit the slightest bump in the road.
How do you adjust the sensitivity?
Tip the front down for more sensitivity. However I removed mine after one 10 mile trip. No matter how it's adjusted, it flashes the brake light almost constantly on even a slightly uneven surface.
Does the st2 brake module do anything when the brake is applied? Or only when the bike decelerates? In other words if the bike is standing still and you touch the brake will it flash 5 times?
On the 2023 version anyway, it just sits in parallel with the brake light, it does not interrupt it, so the brake light switch would take precidence and the tail light would be on constantly.
I bought this before the company went out of business or shut down, then they reopened and then closed again. No support available, emails and phone don't work. It didn't say what wires to connect to on a harley davidson but i ordered it for my specific bike however they sent me one for an earlier model with the single center brake light but i have two independently wired ones so it won't work for my application.
They screwed me over never getting back to me before they shut down. It's a shame, its a good product idea.
They are still up and running currently, as I recently just ordered.
Hi guys any one installed on M unit bike? Is it compatible with m unit?
Has anyone installed this on Vstrom 1000? I'm struggling trying to figure out the turn signal switch as I cannot locate where to install the bumpers to change it from a sticky switch to a momentary switch. Any pictures or advice is welcomed. Thanks, Pablo
Mine came without any instructions have tried numerous times Thru their support email and have not got one reply. Never should have bought from them .
Heyya Cafe Racer Garage, - 2 questions.
1) Have you had any issues with Police picking up on the flashing brake light on deacceleration?
2) Can you do a vid showing the Smart Turn System doing lane changes on either dual or highway..... and maybe whilst lane spilting?
I saw your first vid on the turn system, wasn't impressed, but all makes sense now knowing there was a wiring oopie daisy, now consiering for my FJR 1300.
Thanks for the insight, oh and cafe racers not my thing, but sub'ed as I liked your how to and review on both these units.
Lyndsay Bennett thank you my friend, no I hav had no issues with this unit and police however if I did than it would be a stupid move on there behalf as it’s a saftey thing to prevent an accident.
I could do another video but it won’t be anytime soon as iv got a lot of other videos I need to create :)
Thank you for the comment brother
Got to say I've got similar system on my triumph (indicators) but on uk roads its a nightmare you often have a slight turn before a T junction, I found it cancelled the indicator just as i arrived at the turn or while waiting for a gap basically worse than forgetting to cancel. Would be interested in how these handle in non straightforward situations.
Paul Rodger Hi Paul, I can only imagine what it’s like driving on the roads and last time I was there we Just use public transport and stayed in London area.
whenever I use this to do something like change lanes it recognises it and Turns off the indicators.
If I Make A lane change and turn a corner shortly after you may need to put the blinker on twice just like you would in a car, in fact it works very similar to the car indicator system once you get used to it.
If I pull up to a intersection and put my indicator on to make a turn The STS will leave my indicator on Until I’ve made that turn once again much like a car indicator system works.
Do you mind me asking what Turn system is on your bike right now just out of curiosity?
Have a great day and thank you for the comment brother.
Cafe Racer Garage yeah it's the factory fitted self cancelling indicators on the tiger explorer 1200 i havent looked into it in great detail but turned it off on mine after a few dodgy moments..i love the idea but might be triumph missed the mark on their implementation. Great videos though keep it up.
Thank you mate I will always share my builds as long as I get awesome comments like this, Yes it sounds like that year Triumph it's not as accurate as the STS but not to say Triumph hasn't improved the system by now, I just trust the STS as much as I trust the air in my tyres because, I tested and tested and tested it and I can't seem to get it to not do what its ment to do :) If you have any tech Questions just shoot them an email, you will get a fast response :) Its so worth having and peace of mind too.
Is there a minimum speed you need to have before it works? I built in mine and with low speeds (20km/h) it doesn't work.
Thanks =)
Hi Mawini, as far as I know it works at all speeds but definitely check your wires and connect with STS support team to ask them some questions as they are the experts. Hope you have a great day
Thanks;)
I just tried one of these, the new 2023 version. For me, it's worthless junk. I actually designed and 3D printed a bracket to hold it in a variety of angles, and no matter how I adjusted it, it flashes spastically every time I hit the slightest bump in the road. it looks like my brake switch is faulty. If I adjust the angle to be sensitive enough to pick up deceleration, it basically never stops flashing, it's just jittering the light constantly.
I asked them to honor their money back guarantee and they would but I have to ship the unit back from the US to Slovenia. That's $50 in shipping. No thanks I'll just throw this thing in the trash.
do want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Dan, wouldn't these STS hardwares functions be able to be achieved by Motogadget m.unit Blue?
Albert Poon yes if you are going to re wire the entire bike, however this is just a few wires
@@CafeRacerGarage Thanks for the very prompt reply. Will need some help wiring the m.unit blue onto my XSR700 sometimes later. Hope I can get some help from you😊.
Albert Poon no worries mate whereabouts are you located?
@@CafeRacerGarage Am in Melbourne.
Albert Poon just to let you know it’s around about a three day job if you have never done it and starting from scratch. Let me know when you’re ready and I might be able to put you into contact with some people local to you :)
Mate do you do builds for customers or only your own I'm looking for someone to build me Honda cb anything with 4 cylinders
Asim Chaudhry Hi mate, where are you located?
@@CafeRacerGarage Sydney
Asim Chaudhry if you are serious we can discuss this in a msg on Instagram. Do you have a budget in mind?
Heads up to anyone thinking of buying the latest V3 version of the ST2 brake module.
Its advertised as...
"ST2 Brake Module uses an accelerometer and motion detection sensors combined with a proprietary algorithm to detect engine-braking or down-shifting.
It’s an intelligent system that doesn’t interfere with the actual brake light operation."
That sounds like it has a 6 axis IMU doesnt it? It does not... it has a simple tilt switch.
I could have cobbled one using a tilt switch for less than £5. This corner cutting simplicity of a cheap tilt switch provides no frame of reference for the attitude of the bike which means that it could also activate going down a hill even when not slowing.
Also... and I quote directly...
"FLASHES YOUR BRAKE LIGHT WHEN SPEED DECREASES DUE TO ENGINE
BRAKING OR DOWN-SHIFTING"
This is false... it flashes once on initial power up but in normal functioning use it only activates the brake light on de-acceleration with no flashing. Misleading advertising.
Earlier version/s used to also have the flashing option if mounted upside down but they have done away with that in the V3.... and if you want that capability you now have to buy their new brake flasher seperately.... its called the ST2 Strober and its not advertised to the general public... (maybe to hide the fact that the V3 doesn't have this functionality any longer?) You are only informed about its existance by email after you have bought the ST2 brake module... and its an extra £34.39 posted just to have the same functionality of the previous versions of the brake module... obviously to make more money.
To have only half the functionality of the previous version and not making their customers aware is as low as it comes.I wouldn't have bought it if I'd known and I feel ripped off. Not a good way to do business ST2 but don't worry I'm going to post this on every video site I can find so that prospective buyers can make fully informed decisions, they deserve to know what they are really buying and not to be deceived.
Yea, thats more like it, left a comment on the stuffup video that it took too long to cancel , now it looks the goods ... ;-)
I think this company went out of business. They are based in Germany and their website, email and phone numbers not working. Anyone want to buy my module?
I bought one of these ST2 Smart Engine Braking module for my 2021 Harley Davidson Street Bob FXBBS and there are no instructions for that and I email them and call but it looks like the german company went out of business as the website doesn't work anymore either.
Roads are empty..... it would be amazing to open up a sports bike
Yeah my friend always leaves me behind but he rides a 1299 Ducati Panigale so not much chance I will keep up lol what do you ride brother?
Cafe Racer Garage .....even better ... a bicycle .... still in a student... someday .... someday.... I will a super bike .... someday 😥... but favorite bike is the legendary suzuki hayabusa ..... What's your ?
that's cool bro, you know what you want and getting inspired to get it :) My dream bike is the ones I'm working on. I love having something unique that no one else has. Its a nice feeling to build your own stuff :) Have a great day my friend
Cafe Racer Garage yea .... I love the hayabusa .... else of the looks ... which I would love to modify and change ...and sitting position is weird .... but its 1300cc engine is what I am in love with ............. I love love medicinal jobs specially on motorcycle.... I would love build a supermoto ... and love watching build like you do on your channel .... 😍🤗... have great day. .. 🙆🙋
How is the directions handy when it doesn't even say Harley lol does it not fit a harley?
Good question and yes it does fit Harley, you will need to check as I think for some Harleys it won't work
THIS DOES NOT WORK AS DESCRIBED, FLASHES brake light when accelerating =, going over road bumps etc, no good. I had 2nd unit sent to me but it was the same, had to claim through paypal as they will not reply to my emails after 2nd module ws posted, AVOID ITS GARBAGE
Agreed, that is my experience as well.
stuff the Smart turn. you could spend that cash on better worthwhile mods.
It's a great device but I totally understand Its not for everyone, thank you for the comment mate and i hope you have a good day
