Step 1: Make preparations
Make sure the motorcycle is on a stable surface. Switch off the ignition and remove the key. Prepare the required tool: screwdriver, pliers and possibly a cable cutter.
Step 2: Remove old indicators
Open the turn signal cover and loosen the screws that hold the old indicators. Disconnect the electrical connections by carefully pulling the plugs off. Dispose of the old indicators in an environmentally friendly manner.
Step 3: attach resistance
Attach the new resistors to the turn signal cables. Make sure to consider the right polarity. Use shrink hoses or insulating tape to secure the connections and avoid short circuits.
Step 4: mount new indicators
Place the new LED indicators to the places provided and attach them to the screws. Make sure the indicators sit tight and don't wobble.
Step 5: Mail the electrical connection
Connect the cables of the new turn signals to the corresponding cables of the motorcycle. Make sure that the connections are safe and isolate them well to avoid weather influences.
Step 6: Perform the function test
Turn on the ignition and test the new turn signals. Make sure you flash correctly and the resistors work properly. Also check whether all other lights work normally.
Question 1: What are the advantages of LED indicators?
LED indicators are more energy-efficient, have a longer lifespan and offer better visibility compared to conventional halogen indicators.
Question 2: Are resistances always necessary?
Yes, resistors are necessary to regulate the flashing frequency of the LED indicators, as they consume less electricity compared to conventional indicators and would otherwise flash faster.
