Title: help with my new led blinkers
Post by: DaxFX on July 09, 2007, 03:46:24 PM
i just recive today my blinkers they are led and had 21 bulbs inside each one. I install'm and when the bike is in 1.5 rpm the blinkers stop blinking thay just get still and when I hit the gas start blinking more gas more quick they blink. What you think ?

damm it if I try to do that on a bike I never could get it !

You need to get a digital variable load flasher relay.

They should have sent you a resistor ... my integrated brake/turn signal did , but as i have cat's eyes up front with regular bulbs they just flash a little faster

Blinker fluid is low, refill the reservoir.

A constant-speed (electronic) flasher unit will be your very good friend.  Go to an auto parts shop and get one -- from the wiring diagram, it looks like you need a 3-wire unit.

D is positive feed, B/W is earth connection, Sb is feed to turn signal switch/lights.

my blinkers are not integrated they are cateye led and the tailligth have not arrive yet. hope i get it soon ! I prefer seperate blinkers from the main tailligy is more safety so I hop when I recive the tailligth works fine but the blinkers they just stay still I have to acelerate very hard the moto and they start blinking !! I need change relay ? I need ad something ? how I can get the lblinkers works correctly ? the bike looks super cool with those tiny cateye signals and i dont want to take it off !!

Sheesh, they're selling ceramic resistors that should be available for $1 from an electronic supply house for $5 each.  Nice tidy profit margin for them.  Get a constant speed (aka variable-load) flasher relay from an auto parts store.  Follow the electrical diagram that I posted before to install it.  You shouldn't pay more than $5 for this!

Refer to the electrical diagram in my earlier post.  Terminals on the flasher should be labelled -- one should go to + voltage, the other to ground, the 3rd to the signal switch.  There may be a diagram on the back of the box containing the flasher.
