I am fitting aftermarket rear turn signals as I have gone through 2 OEM indicators in two weeks and I also want smaller ones that I can mount on the reg. plate as I'm going to fit luggage. Problem is that when I fit the new signals they flash too fast, including the ones built into the mirrors - do I need to fit resistors to just the rear ones or do I need to add them to the stock fronts too ? | ||

Adding ballast to the rears should suffice. Odd since the both are already LEDs. My signals in the XBLights integrated tail flash normally. Z | ||

It sounds like the new signals are drawing less current, causing the rapid flashing. A different turn signal flasher should fix the problem. Americansportbike.com offers one for $20 part #16086. | ||

The American Sport Bike flasher is your best bet if it bothers you. Some LEDs already have a resistor to compensate for the load. The rapid flashing is a DOT requirement to notify a rider/ driver that one of the turn signals is not operating. | ||

I'm also tired of having to replace OEM parts (only blinkers so far). Though the fast blinking doesn't bother me enough to worry about slowing it down. Mike | ||

I'm confused. The American Sport Bike site says specifically that the 16086 flasher relay is *not* for the 1125 series. Is there an available relay that is, or is there a known value resistor I could wire into the replacement front signals on my 1125CR? Thanks much! KeS |
