Fitting LED Indicators to Curvy

Hi thar

As BBadger kindly pointed out a smashing deal at HG for these indies:

Since I broke my front right indie, and already have LED's on the rear, how easy/hard is it to fit these for the front?

I have a manual to hand but electrics is probably my weakest point. The bike is in my buddies garage so no physical access til the weekend to look properly.

All I remember seeing was 2 wires dangling down where the old indie had snapped off.

So guys - what's involved?

If its LED's all round i belive you need an led flasher unit otherwise it will flash very quickly.

you don't say for which model you wish to fit these, but you'll face two issues.

1. physically fitting them

2. flash rate

Ref 1. probably the hardest is the faired curvy, as the original is clamped on by use of a bracket onto the back of the fairing, the new one will probably be a thread and nut arrangement, so you'll need to find something to bolt it to or a different location.

Ref 2 . although a simple two wire connection to the original wiring, the LED's use far less load than regular bulbs, so the main flasher unit will work much quicker (about 120 PM), there are two ways to address this, either change the main flasher relay for one requiring less load, or add load to each signal circuit (resistors), so one to both Left and another to the right circuit.

Cheers Mark.

I see. Curvy Faired model. lol.

I just want this back on the road asap (all parts arriving by friday), gonna get a normal one from fleabay for a 5er.

Was just in hope it would be very quick and simple replacement in which case I would have done it.

depends on your perspective and experience, it is a simple job.

cheers Mark.

Agreed.

For this, I must be able to do it within 1/2 a day. Any doubt and I'll stick to what I know for the time being

If you buy Oxford Nano LED indicators its a straight swap, as the resistor is built in the supplied wiring. With the HG ones, you'll need an inline resistor for each indicator to correct the flash rate

The other things you'll need are some Motrax adaptor cables (converts the bullet connectors on the LED to a Suzuki connector) and the little adaptor plate for the fairing hole, as the LED will fall through the great big hole that the OEM uses.

The correct fairing adaptor plate is the one for the TL1000, nothing else fits and a lot that are sold for the SV650 aren't for the Sv650s model. Indy spacers are what they're called

This sounds like a lot of hassle, but its easy

Thanks Mavi

I will be revisiting this thread when I get my finances straight. When I saw Badgers link for £5.99 I thought feck it, why not if its a straight swap.

This all all above budget at the moment, as I've spent out loads for another lid/repair parts.

Hopefully within 2-3 months.

Ok, no problem.

The Oxfords are more expensive, but the quality is good, the brightness of the indicator is also good. Plus you don't have to faff around with seperate resistors
