Attach STS unit (black box) to motorcycle housing Spot for STS device has to be flat and fairly horizontal STS device has to be attached to housing, not on the handle bar (not even on rudder or any other moving part) It is advised to connect STS device with zip tie, so try to find a spot that allows this and attach it firmly It is recommended that the module be mounted in a location not subject to extreme heat conditions Sticker with the STS Logo must look up Arrow in the STS Logo must point in the driving direction (forward) If necessary add velcro or double side tape (not included in the package) 12. Modify turn signal switch to momentary 12.1. Objective of modifying the turn signal switch is to convert mechanical (latching) switch into a momentary switch. 12.2. Loosen the screws that clamp on to the handlebar. 12.3. Four foams are supplied with the package - two big and two small sized foams. Smaller foams are perfect fit for most motorcycle switches, based on our experience. Bigger foams Smaller foams There are two basic types of left handlebar switches (LHS): Type 1: Type 2: Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Triumph, (Switch may vary in visual appearance from the outside.) Scooters, Mopeds 11
Type 1 LHS There are two basic variations of Type 1 LHS: Open 1 LHS or Covered 1 LHS. Open 1 LHS: Open switch: Same switch from different angle: Insert smaller foams into cavities with tweezers. As you move the leaver from side to side, plastic slider moves from one side to another. Left side: Right side: 12
Covered 1 LHS: Switch may vary in visual appearance from inside Loosen the screw(s) (highlighted with red circle), remove the covering and you will find two cavities where foams have to be inserted. Insert smaller foams into cavities with tweezers. As you move the leaver from side to side, the plastic slider moves from one side to another. Left side: Right side: After inserting the foam plugs, make sure the switch has full motion, but does not stay in the position. Reassemble the LHS back to the handlebar. 13
Type 2 LHS These kinds of switches are mostly used on smaller bikes (scooters, mopeds). Disassemble the switch from handlebar. Remove top plastic cover by removing it with a screwdriver. Your switch should look like this: Take the bigger foam included in the package and slice it into two pieces like shown in the picture below: Whole big foam --> bigger piece + smaller piece Insert the smaller piece of foam into the smaller cavity and the bigger piece into the bigger cavity: After inserting the foam plugs, make sure the switch has full motion but does not stay in the position. Reassemble the cover and LHS back to the handlebar. 14
