Smart brake module

[Cambo]

Has anyone any experience with the smart brake module by a company called st2. It activates your brake light when you're slowing down using engine braking. Have had a few mates moaning that they've overcooked it a bit when they're behind me due to me using engine braking

Tell them to learn the ride.

Or dab the rear brake? That lights it up too for free...

[hookie]

Yes, tell them to ride properly. Also sounds like they're too close to you as well. So save your money....

I echo what's been said already , sounds like they are riding too close .

Apart from echoing that your friends are riding too close/not paying attention, have a look here:

Is that the same thing? I thought that other unit was to make the brake lights flash if your braking exceeded a certain G threshold. Not sure it would work just under engine braking.

[UK_Vstrom650]

Maybe not but if the engine braking is severe enough to make other bikes following 'overcook' it then I'm expecting enough G's to trigger it...

I was thinking about buying this thing but foot on rear brake, cost less

I thought about it once, then realised how annoying driver constantly dabbing their brakes are. And chances are that's how it would look like.
