Electrical question

<< < (3/4) > >>

Bryanj:
The electronic flasher relay is sensing a load drop due to the small bulb so it flashes the other one faster(and idiot bulb) as a warning that you have a bulb gone.
To make it work you need to put the load back up to 42w per side and it will flash ok. An led flasher unit probably wont work properly as the load will be too high with the bulbs you got.
Electics is easy
You cant see it
You cant smell it
But by ell it can hurt if you touch it.

Also NEVER let the smoke out of the wiring loom or you are in big trouble!

Ok... But 5w legacy bulbs I suppose would be barely visible... Not very safe, I suppose. I would go for led in such case

MarkCR750:
Morning all, apologies I got the wattage wrong, the bulbs are 10w, still not very high I know but they are actually quite bright somehow!, I fitted the Identical ones to my Scrambler and they are clearly visible even in strong sunlight, on my Scrambler I haven’t had to alter anything, being a modern bike it’s got some clever wizardry and strong white mans magic that adjusted to the lower wattage , someone on the Ducati forum fitted the unit above having had the same issue as me and it worked so I’m hopeful, got to be worth a punt for £4, thanks for the replies all much appreciated as always, cheers Mark.

MarkCR750:
Footnote;
The adjustable flasher just arrived, works well, thought I’d mention it in case anyone else has the same issue with non standard indicators/different bulb wattages, cheers Mark.

Bulbs are more than bright enough at 10w btw.

Moorey:
A good cheap option then. I didn't know you could get adjustable indicator relays. Live and learn. :)
