Help: Ride Engine Direct Connection screws

Postby pelealexandru » Thu Jan 26, 2023 12:55 pm

Hi,

I've just got my new harness from RE with Unity Direct Connection and the cams on the side of the harness (that lock the straps in place) are misaligned. I'm trying to fix this myself, but the screws are really hard to get out since they are in a very awkward position, covered by a textile material that gets in the way. In any case, I'd like to have a few spare screws in case I mess them up, but I don't find any for sale on REs' website nor do they provide any specs for these screws. It looks like they are 3mm hex screws, but I'd like to know all the specs (diameter, length, etc) to have a few spares at hand before I begin this unnecessarily complicated operation. Does anybody have any info or tried to adjust these before?

Thanks a bunch!

You should talk to your dealer before you do anything... If you mess up, you might be sad if you didn't consult the dealer first...

I agree with Smeagle but after that send a message via the RE instagram account. They are normally quick to answer.
