SR-1 Radar Quick Start Guide: Installation, Display Compatibility & Alerts
The SR-1 Millimeter-wave Radar System is designed to help riders improve rear awareness by detecting approaching vehicles and providing clear warning alerts. This guide explains how SR-1 works, what is included in the standard kit, which CHIGEE displays are compatible, and how visual and audible alerts work in different setups.
Before You Start
Before installing or using SR-1, please make sure you have reviewed the product page and user manual.
SR-1 can work in two ways:
- Standalone Mode: Uses the included external indicator lights for visual alerts.
- Display Integration Mode: Connects with a compatible CHIGEE display for on-screen radar graphics, sound alerts, and advanced settings.
Basic Installation Guide
SR-1 installation includes three main steps:
- Radar Module Installation
Mount the radar module at the rear of the motorcycle. Make sure it is securely fixed, facing backward, and not blocked by luggage, body panels, license plate holders, or other accessories. - Warning Light Installation
Install the two warning lights where they are clearly visible to the rider. They can be attached to the original rearview mirrors or installed with the optional M10 warning light brackets. - Product Wiring
Connect the SR-1 wiring harness according to the wiring diagram in the user manual. After wiring is complete, power on the system and check that the warning lights work normally.
For detailed installation steps, wiring diagrams, mounting height, bracket adjustment, and safety notes, please refer to the SR-1 CG Radar User Manual before installation.
What’s Included in the Standard SR-1 Kit?
The standard SR-1 kit includes the main components needed for standalone radar warning operation:
- SR-1 radar module
- Two standalone indicator lights
- Required wiring and mounting accessories
The included indicator lights provide the core visual warning function. They are designed to be installed without replacing your existing motorcycle mirrors or display system.
Standalone Use: No Display Required
SR-1 can be used independently without a CHIGEE display.
In standalone mode, the radar module detects approaching vehicles from behind and sends alerts through the included flashing indicator lights. This provides the basic SR-1 warning function without requiring screen integration.
Standalone mode is suitable for riders who want radar-based visual alerts but do not use a CHIGEE display.
Using SR-1 with a CHIGEE Display
When SR-1 is paired with a compatible CHIGEE Display, radar alerts can appear directly on the screen. You can also access additional radar settings through the display menu.
With display integration, you can use:
- On-screen radar warning graphics
- Audible alerts through the display speaker
- Full radar settings access
Pairing Limitation
A CHIGEE Display can only pair with one SR-1 radar at a time.
If you switch to another motorcycle with a different SR-1 radar, the display will not automatically connect to the second radar. You need to delete the first radar from the display settings, then pair the second radar again.
Note: SR-1 is currently compatible with AIO-5 and AIO-6 series displays only.
It cannot pair with the XR-2 Display. When SR-1 is used with XR-2, radar alerts will only appear through the external flashing indicator lights, not on the XR-2 screen.
Visual Alerts and Sound Alerts
The SR-1 radar module and indicator lights provide visual warnings only. They do not produce sound alerts on their own.
To receive audible radar alerts, you must pair SR-1 with a compatible CHIGEE Display and enable Sound Alerts in the display settings.
Bluetooth Limitation
Radar alert sounds cannot be transmitted to a Bluetooth headset.
Even if your phone or CHIGEE display is connected to a Bluetooth headset, SR-1 radar alert sounds will only play through the CHIGEE display’s built-in speaker.
Optional Upgrade: CG Radar Rearview Mirrors
The CG Radar Rearview Mirrors are optional upgrades for SR-1.
They combine the rearview mirror and radar warning indicator into one integrated setup, helping keep the cockpit cleaner while still providing visual radar alerts.
Available options may include:
These mirrors are not included in the standard SR-1 package unless specifically selected at purchase.
