General information about indicators:
Most bikes use bi-metallic relays. Its frequency (which is the one that sets the pace of the turn signals) depend on the amperage circulating through the circuit. When replacing indicators from OEM to aftermarket ones which carry a different power, they may vary the amperage circulation through the circuit which causes a change in the frequency of the turn signals rhythm. Or if the motorcycle uses electronic relay (which frequency works independently from the amperage circulating through the circuit) then changing indicators should not affect the frequency of the indicators.
If OEM indicators are replaced by aftermarket ones that use incandescent bulbs, you need to check they use the same power. If it's different, you need to replace the bulbs for others that use the same power as the OEM ones.Â
If the OEM turn signals are replaced by LED ones (of much less power than incandescent bulbs), there are two options to balance the frequency:
1. Incorporate a parallel relay in the right circuit and the other on the left curcuit. If you replace four indicators, you need to use Puig resistance Part# 4298O. Or if only two turn signals are replaced (one on each side), you need to use Puig resistance Part# 4298O. The resistances are supplied with a scheme for a parallel connection. Note: On most bikes, the warning function of the bike is disabled if the resistance is used.
2. Identify the intermittent relay of the motorcycle (location and number of pins) and replace it from the list supplied on most bikes, but the warning functions work correctly when the relay is replaced.
· Note: some motorcycles do not have an intermittent relay, so in this case it cannot be replaced. Moreover, if indicator function requires more than one relay, it is possible that replacing only one relay does not solve the problem.
· Note 2: some LED turn signals flash faster than normal when connected to power. To verify the actual flashing frequency, remove all power by turning the key to the "off" position and then move to the "on" position to activate the flashing function.
