Pointy Rear LED Query
the rear light seems to have two vertical stacks of seven (?) LEDs.
is it correct that the bottom 4 light up 'dim' for the tail light, and all of them light up 'bright' for the brake light? TIA folks |

Re: Pointy Rear LED Query
All should be on when the tail light is on, and i think all of them light up bright on brake activation. i have never eally paid much attention to them.
I know if the idle speed is too low then the tail only lights up the bottom few rows, so that could be a good start point?? |

Re: Pointy Rear LED Query
I think they should all be either dim or bright i.e. all dim when not braking and all bright when braking.

Re: Pointy Rear LED Query
They are all on on mine and all go bright when the brake is used!

Re: Pointy Rear LED Query
I noticed that the either the top or the bottom (can't remember which) were dim when my bike came out of a 6 hibernation for winter. Struck me as odd until I tried to start the bike and realised the battery was low. Never seen it since the battery was fully charged.

Re: Pointy Rear LED Query
Most of the replies have missed the point of this post (Except a few like admin)
When on tail light the top few of mine (same both sides) are dimmer than the bottom ones. (On Brake light they seem to be as bright as each other). Glad I'm not the only one then, thanks Sticks You should find that the top 3 are actually lit, but very dim? |
