resistors for lED indicators
 

Ok i got em

my indis are wired up n working.. but too fast.

so where do I put them..
on one wire only?
which wire???

so I gotta splice a wire?- theres only one attach point onthe resistor... well one each side!!.

educate me

; n fast - I wanna do it !

in case you prefer, there's a relay for LED indicators here

though I'm not sure whether it's a direct replacement for the SV one, someone else will advise. :idea:

i got some resistors here i can stick in the post for ya, how many you need ?

ill send u instructions if you need em?

awww u al sooo nice.. bike age I bought em now!!.. £1.99 each !!. suppose I could get a refund !!...how come u have some spare???man in shop says i need 4 !!

one fer each indi

my neighbour said should work just the sides! so only need 2 !!!


discussed in shop a new relay but mansaid they are £30 !!

but thats £14 !!!

ok, on the resistor, you have a square with 2 bits of metal sticking out each side.
you have a pin sticking out each end.

splice the wires going to the indicators, you need to soldier both the negatives to one pin, and both the posotives to the other pin.

thats how i did mine anyway though.

complete pain in the ass, dunno why they dont supply the indies with resistors built in.

dont bother with the resistors and let em flash fast is what i say, gets you noticed more. , , and just find a friendly MOT tester :)

oh, here is a diagram i drew ages ago :)

I was thinking that !!!........leaving them on

but is that detrimental to the system or anything?? overload???...



I called one MOT chap and he said it wouldnt pass... but he wasnt me usual man !... different place..

I am confused.com

I really do want to leave them fast flashing...

dunno about that, dunno if it will cause any other problems with your bike.

OOOOO nice diag...

cheers I will use it if I need to-

I gonna ring my normal man tomoz and see what he says.... and then maybe fit them.

or just take them ina bag to MOT- (along with me standard can, standard exhaust,... LOL)

I wouldnt if it was me I'd solder the resistors in. It isnt much work to do. I would think that with your indicators flashing like billy o you might also attract the attention of the boys in blue should they be in pedant mode.

Also then theres no mucking about come MOT time. Also if you sell your SV it might put a potential buyer off.

All this resistor malarky is why i bought Motrax mini indicators with normal bulbs in rather than LED ones :wink:
