Not Such A Bright Spark

[JustTheTip]

Now then.....my electrical/mechanical skills are about as much use as a chocolate teapot, so I thought I'd turn to the PH collective for some pointers.

I've got an '04 CBR600RR. I recently had a two-in-one LED indicators/break light fitted to the rear (which I got from fleabay, though originally probably came from Harris) and even mopre recently had some flush mount indicators fitted to the front (these were from Harris).

Since the front indicators were fitted, the flash rate has been too fast (amazingly not something that the Honda garage that fitted them even noticed). I spoke with Harris, who suggested that this was down to the fact that the resisitors for the rear unit don't match the ones on the front. They promptly sent through a set to match the front ones. Unfortunately they don't make any difference.

Can anyone suggest a remedy while I wait for them to call back?

higher wattage bulbs???

I had the same problem, which is that the resistance of the LEDs indicators are different to that of the bulb based indicators they replaced. A quick google ought to give you the solution as I can't remember what resistor I used and whether it was in parallel or in series to the indicators.

Assuming the original bulbs were 21W, use 10 ohms 25 watts, one in parallel with each indicator.
