    Default Reverse Beep sounds odd, should I worry?

    When I go to backup my beep sounds like it is cutting in and out, making it sound odd AF. Anyone had this happen? Should I worry about it?

    Hahaha, there was a long, somewhat testy thread on this not too long ago. I'm going to bow out of this discussion.

    I'd think odd is good, as it would attract more attention? ;-}

    Maybe add a REAL beeper on the a$$ end where it belongs. I've got the suicide shift conversion on mine, and it'd be right easy to add a standerd brake light plunger switch there to drive one. You think yours is loud ... wait till you hear mine! Ahahahhhaaaa!

    PS - main problem IMHO is the location of the beeper - right on the back of the instrument cluster, putting it right in my ear when I'd bend over to hand shift. Not a problem anymore. For those who think the stock beeper is too loud - there's a small hole to the right of center on the back of the instrument cluster - a piece of black tape will tame it down some.

    The wife's Ryker only beeps for a short bit, then turns off.

    Mine has always done that broken up beep. At least it stops after two blurps. The one that grinds me is when you shut down without the parking lock on. That's unnecessary. I like to shut down and leave it unlocked to I can manually push the bike into my tight garage space. I don't think pulling the key stops the racket either, but I could be wrong.

    It IS actually necessary, MudBug……but I agree completely that you should be able to consciously override it to do what YOU want to do in your garage. Just think about what could happen if you climbed off your semi auto Spyder on a slight slope and forgot to apply the park brake.

    Oh yeah. That. I live very near sea level and tend to forget about things like that. I've forgotten what a slope is.

    Mine just started doing that broken sounding beep today, it sounds like if the battery was dying is how I would describe it.
    I was putting some loctite on bolts for the slingmods parking brake lock & thought I screwed something up. Whats strange is that it beeps normal if I put into reverse first time, but if I shift to drive, then back to reverse it does the muffled beep.

    If it sounds like that, ie, like the battery is dying, then maybe you should see if it still sounds like that if you've connected the battery to another battery via jumper leads?? Just connect it up and leave it connected for saaayyy, 10 minutes or so (in order to allow some battery charge equalisation across the 2 batteries ) then try doing what you've described above to get the dodgy noise.

    That'd tell you pretty quickly if it WAS battery related - who knows, maybe it's another 'undocumented feature' of the Rykers that'll let you know you've gotta start thinking about getting a new battery!

    Of course, you could always check the battery with a load tester &/or a multi-meter too, but where's the fun in that?!

    lol discovered a hidden feature. When I took it back out tonight it didnt make the muffled/dying beep anymore when putting in reverse. Bike has been ridden almost everyday since being assembled 4 weeks ago so most likely not a charge issue, but Ill throw my meter on it if it happens again just to see.

    Only get two beeps as I shift into reverse. Wish it was NO beeps. They are a loud PIA.

    Anyone know if it can be shut off?

    Found me a circular badge the right size. Some JB Weld and maybe leaving the pin on the back to act as a holder will gag that stupid speaker's mouth closed.

    For what it is worth, a lot of the electronic back up alarms have an adjusting screw somewhere on them. Not familiar with the alarms on a Ryker, but have worked on a lot of heavy equipment alarms. Most of the adjusting bolts just look like a small bolt with a locknut on it.

    The newer backup alarms are self-adjusting and have a lot of electronics. They sample the noise level near the rear of the equipment and automatically adjust the sound level to 5 or 10 decibels above the ambient sound level of the area.

    I used black electrical tape. It knocked the sound down some.
