(Yes, I have sifted through old posts Wink )

Fitted LED indies with resistors to my ZXR4. They came on, the relay gave one last 'ping' and they stayed on. No flashing, just on. Turned the bike on this morning and nothing. No flash, no on or off. Nothing. Even the indy light on the dash isn't coming on. Confused Headlights etc work but nothing from the indies.

Do the indies have their own fuse?

Got a relay that works with LEDs this morning. But the connection is different (Halfords) (Kawasaki my arse). So taking that back later and getting one from elsewhere (if the other place is open today Rolling Eyes )

Any ideas?

try fitting ur led indies without any extra resistiors

i know that some model bikes cope with led's perfectly ok without the need for extra resistors

my thundercat had a high flash rate with the led's so i needed them but some bikes dont

if u put extra resistors in and it dint need them then this would overload the relay and cause the relay to blow, hence not having any lights at all

just a thought

take care

The LEDs now come on but don't flash. My bro unplugged the relay and put it back in wrong! Laughing

Still need them to flash.

'Spose I should try them without the resistors.

Tried them without the resistors. And all 4 of them come on. Still no flashing.

Put the resistors back in now.

Anyone know a good site for a kwak compatible led relay?

I was in BFM motorcycles in keighley (i think) today and was looking at mini indicators and noticed to could buy a black box that was supposed to solve any problems caused by fitting mini indicators. maybe you need one of those? I think it was a motrax thing, but I may be mistaken.
