PLAN AN INSTALL Make sure that the motorcycle battery is fully charged. Verify that no moving parts will interfere with the components. Do not route wires near sharp edges which could cut wires and create a short. Do not mount components near high heat sources such as the exhaust pipes. Do not install the Ride Module under any metal. The internal antenna can transmit through fiberglass, leather, or plastic. TECH TIP RIDE has an internal cellular and external GPS antenna.
MOUNTING Select a suitable location under the seat or side cover that the module can lay as flat as possible. The Ride Core harness has three wires. You’ll need to connect these to your bike. Red: Install the terminal ring of this wire directly to the battery positive post. Black: Install the terminal ring of this wire directly to the battery negative post.
SWITCHED POWER Common tail light power wire colors Honda Brown or White w/black stripe Kawasaki Red Suzuki Brown Yamaha Blue w/Red stripe Harley-Davidson Blue Ducati Yellow TECH TIP RIDE requires proper installation of the switched power wire to function correctly. Switched power is hot (12 volts) when the ignition is on, zero volts when off. Common switched power sources are the tail light, (NOT the brake light), the license plate light, and some accessory plugs.
Locate the 12 volt switched wire source on your vehicle. The most common applications are the tail light power wire (not the brake light) or the license plate light power wire. Do not attach the RIDE white wire to any LED light sources, LED lights operate at a lower voltage. White: Install this wire to a 12 volt switched source using the provided Quick Connector. For example: the tail light or license plate light power wire.
ATTACH GPS Attach the GPS antenna to the RIDE module. Secure the GPS antenna in a safe location where it is not blocked by metal and pointed toward the sky. The antenna is magnetic, but also secure it with the included hook & loop/cable ties. GPS PLUG IN CORE Plug the installation harness into the Ride module. Secure the module with the included hook & loop/cable ties.
TECH TIP RIDE includes a back-up battery to protect your bike in case of theft. The back-up battery will power the device when disconnected from power. To disconnect the device without triggering the battery, unplug the device within 5 sec of turning on ignition. 1) Turn on the ignition switch. 2) Unplug the main harness within 5 seconds. MOUNT THE COMPONENTS The perimeter sensor uses microwave technology to detect mass density movement around the bike.
With the hook & loop fasteners, mount this sensor on top of the battery or any flat surface, ensuring that the top side of the sensor is facing upwards. Mount the perimeter sensor at least 6 inch away from the unit. With the provided hook & loop fasteners, mount the siren in any convenient location. Avoid areas exposed to heat, road debris or chemicals. ENCODING THE REMOTE Turn the ignition on and immediately unplug the ride harness from the ride module within 5 seconds.
Within 10 seconds, toggle Ignition On/Off, On/Off, On/Off. 10 SEC x3 White light flashes twice every 5 seconds to indicate Transceiver Programming mode. Transceiver Programming mode lasts 3 minutes. Press and hold button 1 for 10 seconds. When released, the siren chirps twice and the red LED flashes quickly 6 times to indicate that Ride Core has learned the code. The remote echoes 4 chirps and the LCD displays [LErn donE] to confirm it is encoded.
If you are encoding a second remote repeat the previous step for the second transceiver before continuing. Ignition On/Off exits Remote Programming mode. TESTING THE INSTALLATION Once the harness is plugged in confirm that there are lights illuminated on the Ride module to confirm you have good power and ground. Turn the ignition switch of the motorcycle to the “on” position. Confirm that a red light is now illuminated solid on the Ride module. Turn the ignition switch to the “off” position.
TECH TIP If the Red light and White light do not stay on solid when the ignition is on then there is a problem with the switched power (white wire) installation. Consult the service manual and/or the wiring diagram of the motorcycle to confirm you have chosen the correct switched power source wire.
ACCELEROMETER PROGRAMING After the installation is complete and tested, turn the ignition on and immediately unplug the ride harness from the ride module within 5 seconds. Plug back in the Ride harness to the Ride module with the IGNITION ON to access Accelerometer Programming mode. During first 10 seconds the white LED will blink slowly to indicate countdown. 10 SEC Turn Ignition Off within 10 seconds. If no action taken in 10 seconds, Red light then stays on to indicate Ignition On.
sensitivity levels. (1-5). Test shock with ignition off. Red LED will light for 1.5 seconds to indicate successful shock. Wait 1 second to test again. Prog. Mode Accel. Mode Programming mode ends after 2 minutes of inactivity. Exit any time by turning ignition on for 3 seconds. 1.
ADJUSTING PERIMETER SENSOR Although the sensor is pre-set from the factory it may be necessary to adjust the sensitivity to suit your specific application. Walk towards the motorcycle and try and lean over the top of it. Once the sensor detects movement the siren will begin to chirp slowly. If you back away from the motorcycle the siren will stop chirping. If you continue to move closer to the motorcycle the siren will start to chirp faster and faster and then go into a full alarm.
Sensitivity can be adjusted by removing the plastic cap and tuning the adjustment screw. To increase sensitivity, turn adjustment screw clockwise. To decrease sensitivity, turn the adjustment screw counter clockwise. Less Sensitivity More Sensitivity TECH TIP Do not turn sensitivity above half way, this may cause false alarms.
TROUBLESHOOTING Lights not appearing when Ride is plugged in: Check that the power and ground wires have a firm connection to the appropriate battery posts. Also verify that your battery is fully charged. Red light not appearing when the key is on: Check that the white wire is firmly connected to a 12v switch source. For example: When the key is turned on, the wire needs 12 volts, when the key is turned off it will get zero volts. Still having issues? Visit our online support: www.ridescorpio.
