Indicator Problem

The datatool was put on when I first bought the bike. Never had a problem until fitting the new smaller indicators. I did have a look for that but cant find anything the only way i could have done something was knocking the wires under the pillion seat. But the originals are still fine. I've the standard ones back on and there after changing the fuse of course everything works fine. Just doesn;t make sense.

got a funny feeling if you search the boards something on a resistor needing to be placed across the indy comes to mind.

I have had a look at that thought the resistors were only really needed for LED indicators. Coz mine are bulds and are 21w thought there wouldn't be any need for it. I mite get a couple of in line resistors which can be clipped straight in. Im no thinking there could be fault with the indicator unit they were only a tenner for the pair.

check with where you bought them from.Mine were £15 for reflective ones and slotted straight on.

Will do. Thanks for your thoughts. When you say they slotted staright on did they not have the 2 bullet type connected.

well i cut the original connections and ripped the bullets off and 5a connector blocked them.

Oh rite i follow you. Alrite then back to the drawing board. Any other thoughts appreciatted.

take the indies back and explain and see what they say.

resistors arnt needed with 21w bulbs, the indy wiring sounds like its wired faulty to me and both connections inside the unit are touching hence blowing the fuse.

i thought that because resis are for slowly down the flash rate. Well i can't say anymore as i can't see whats happening.
