Hello Slick! And good day all! Thanks for the video!!! I ordered the STS Turn Signal and Brake Modules back on July 8th of this year, 2023. I installed the Turn Signal Module last week and everything went well enough. Last night I thought about installing the Brake Module, so I watched this video again. Afterwards I took my module from its box, shook it, and daggnabbit… I got the Clackity-Clack! I installed it anyway. LOL I have the same symptoms as your first module and many other modules apparently have. The directions say you can tilt the module to reduce sensitivity. The directions say tilt the cable-end (rear of the module) down to reduce sensitivity. I have a very small minimoto, a Z125, and space anywhere on the bike is a premium, but a flat spot is practically nonexistent. The only place actually was under the rear tail/fender, directly in front of the license plate LED housing. It did fit perfectly, but there is no way to tilt it. Looking at your photo, I think I will pop the top and gently tilt the sensor itself. If my module is the same as your, that will have the same effect as tilting the entire module. Hopefully that will do the trick. If not, I’ve soldered for avionics and repaired equipment down to the component-level of circuit card assemblies… micro SMT components… even repairing runs and eyelets in the center of multilevel CCAs themselves… anywho… if the tilting doesn’t work; I think sourcing a better sensor and installing it myself would be more expedient than having to deal with STS customer service and the back and forth international shipping… DHL is the worst carrier here in the States. Wish me luck! I’ll post as soon as the weather and work cooperates with me!

Greetings! I’d say just send that module back for a refund. No amount of tinkering worked for me! If it had that rattle, I think it’s no good!

Hello James, I'm in contact with ST2 at the moment regarding my non working module. They came back with some interesting info. Mine rattles, and does the same as your original one. Random flashing all the time. They told me that mine (and presumeably your original) is the 'upgraded Mk3 version' 1. It no longer gives a flash on startup 2. It's always fitted logo UP 3. It automatically switches between two modes, flashing (on gentle decel) and steady (on prolonged and harder decel) Sounds like your replacement may be the earlier model, which WORKS! Still waiting for them to get back to me regarding a replacement.

I’ve had two of these shipped from the manufacturer and installed properly on my 2022 Royal Enfield Continental GT650. Both did not work properly, exhibiting multiple problems as described in your previous videos. My concern is that since it’s such a simple design that often fails while brand new from the factory (there are many other customers online with the same problems to uphold this statement) it will likely fail after short use even if it works on install. I’m at the point where I feel safer just repairing the spliced cabling in my wiring harness created by the ST-2 splice tabs and ride happily for the rest of my life while remembering to tap my rear brake a couple times before letting my throttle loose than worrying about this thing failing unexpectedly. Any thoughts?

No, the relay is fine. The wavy lettering is an optical illusion caused by a thin line of clear glue running across it

The entire circuit board is made in China….lots of Chinese characters running along the bottom of it and also there is a small potentiometer in there which means it’s adjustable somehow. I’d say definitely not a bespoke circuit board because of the potentiometer and the two led’s

My first unit did this as well, exactly the same rattle and operation was very random and not helpful. It was the latest generation in the plastic case. I was sent a replacement and it's the older generation that was supposed to have the flash feature. But it does not do that either. It does work as advertised otherwise but I really wanted the flash before brake engagement but I guess that was not to be. I may eventually uninstall.

I’m not sure it would annoy anyone. It would certainly alert them to deceleration which is a good thing. It’s not excessive in terms of the light flashing. I started out being cynical, like you, but now I have a working module, I’d say it is definitely worth using

@@internetpolification - I guess I'm projecting from my experiences here in L.A., where one can see rivers of brightening red lights on the freeways during rush hour, each signaling a car braking. And on many freeways, those "rivers" come to frequent halts of solid bright red lights during traffic jams. It would be an epileptic's nightmare if all the lights were flashing!

Thanks for the video - I have a similar experience with my ST2 brake module; The module shipped looks different to the image on the box and it's super sensitive to any tilt or speed changes making it flash the brakes unnecessarily. Flashy advertising, poor product.

I found the same issue and posted a video as well (kzitem.info/news/bejne/q6Jnq5x-faFzpmU). It's a bit confusing as some folks have stated that it works properly for them. I also purchased the brake flasher and was going to install when I found bad crimps - they literally fell apart. I sent ST2 an email weeks ago and have gotten zero response. The big issue with the flasher is that it is in the brake circuit so any failure (connection or electronics) is going to cause total loss of your brake light. Based on what I have found with two of their products I am not going to install anything - I just do not trust them. I will make sure I apply my brake light and early when stopping.
