Step 1: Preparation
Before you start installing the LED blinkers, make sure that your motorcycle is on a stable surface and the engine is switched off. Wear suitable protective gloves and safety glasses.
Step 2: Tools and materials
For the installation you need a screwdriver, a pliers, electrical insulating tape and the new LED blinkers with an e-test mark and the corresponding resistances.
Step 3: Remove old indicators
Start loosening the screws of the old indicators with the screwdriver. After removing the screws, carefully pull off the old indicators and loosen the electrical connections.
Step 4: Install new turn signals
Place the new LED blinkers to the places provided and connect the electrical connections. Make sure that the plus and minus lines are correctly connected.
Step 5: Install resistance
In order to ensure a correct flashing frequency, the resistance must be connected in parallel to the LED indicators. Attach the resistors to a stable space and insulate the connections with an electrical insulating tape.
Step 6: Functional test
Start the engine and test the new turn signals. Check whether you flash uniformly and whether the flashing frequency is correct. If necessary, readjust the connections.
FAQ 1: How long do LED turn signals last?
LED blinkers usually have a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, which makes it a long -lasting option.
FAQ 2: Do I need special resistance for my indicators?
Yes, special resistors are necessary to adapt the flashing frequency when using LED indicators. These should be suitable for your motorcycle model.
