Rizoma indicators

[shielsy]

I've had a pair of Rizoma indicators on my Speed Triple for a little over 18 months and one of them appears to have shat itself. Comes on but really, really dim. I'm fairly sure it's the indicator itself rather than the wiring as I've swapped it from right to left and the problem stays with the unit.

To be honest I was expecting them to last a fair bit longer than 18 months. Anyone else had similar problems?

Try taking out the bulb and check the condition of the contacts and the bulb. It might just be high resistance.

They are sealed LED units

Slight update. Now I've removed the unit from the bike it's clear to see that there has been some water ingress. Looking through the lens you can see the insides are full of white corrosion and general detritus.

The retailer has said that the warranty is only 12 months, so it's unlikely I will get a replacement FOC. Not really what I expected from a premium product. That's the last time I spend £80 on a pair of fking indicators!

That's surprisingly poor - I know it's very millennial, but is it worth complaining via Twitter etc? Nothing like airing poor quality products in public to get a response.

Have a chat with Rizoma directly. I’ve had Rizoma indicators on a bike for about 5 years, kept outside and ridden in all weathers with no issues.

They may help, it’s got to be worth a try.

My cheap eBay special £8 a pair led indicators last longer than that and I do 15k+ miles a year in all weathers. Get onto Rizoma that's not good enough even if they do only come with a 12 month warranty.
