Default Indicator resistors or new flasher.

Now, I've replaced the indicators on my other SV with LED's and as you can imagine the flash rate is a touch high.
I was looking at putting in the resistors, which I will need one for each led, or does anyone know of a flasher I could use to replace the original with. So save a lot of hot resistors being wired into the bike.

Default Re: Indicator resistors or new flasher.

I believe Motrax / GB Moto do flasher relays from Halfords and other outlets. They should be plug & play and I imagine replace the charge / discharge cycle which involves the resistance of the bulbs for timing with an internal timing circuit. Easy, but much dearer than a couple of extra resistors.

Dan

I had resistors on my SV1000 for 4 years with no problem - IIRC they were 10w 10ohm from Maplins, about 40p each, one for each indicator - might evan have a couple of spares at home still if you need them.

I'll be poping down to Maplins later, but thanks for the offer.

Default Re: Indicator resistors or new flasher.

I'd go for the flasher rather than the resistors any time, I dont like the idea of hot pieces of metal buried away in the plastics/underseat of the bike.

Depends on where I mount them... I'm sure something will come to mind.

If you really must, make sure they are well insulated (to avoid a short) and jubilee-clip them/epoxy them to the frame as a heat-sink.
