Product Information

Full details

This guide is for motorcycle owners who have upgraded to LED indicators and are experiencing incorrect flashing rates. The R&G Racing Indicator Inline Resistors offer a straightforward solution to rectify fast or slow flashing, ensuring your indicators function as intended. While effective for micro/mini indicators, their compatibility with non-LED or larger indicator types should be verified.

FAQs

What is the purpose of these resistors?

These resistors are designed to correct the flash rate of LED indicators on a motorcycle. When LED indicators replace standard bulbs, the reduced power draw can cause the turn signals to flash too quickly (hyper-flashing). The resistors add a small amount of load to the circuit to prevent this.

Are these resistors compatible with all LED indicators?

They are specifically designed for LED indicators and are most compatible with micro/mini indicator sizes. It's always recommended to verify compatibility with your specific indicator model and motorcycle's electrical system.

Do I need one resistor per indicator or per pair?

You need one resistor per indicator. Since these are sold as a pair, you can convert two indicators (e.g., front left and front right) with one purchase.

How do I install these resistors?

Installation involves cutting the positive wire to the indicator and connecting the resistor inline between the motorcycle's wiring and the LED indicator. Ensure proper insulation of all connections.

What happens if I don't use resistors with LED indicators?

Without resistors, your LED indicators will likely flash much faster than the standard rate, which can be distracting and may be illegal in some regions. The motorcycle's indicator warning light might also not function correctly.

Can these resistors be used with standard bulb indicators?

No, these resistors are specifically designed for the lower power requirements of LED indicators. Using them with standard bulbs could lead to incorrect operation or damage.

What is the difference between RGR0002 and other R&G resistors?

RGR0002 is specifically for LED indicators. Other models, like RGR0003 (Click 'N' Ride 7W) or RGR0001 (Standard Bulb), are designed for different applications or indicator types.

Troubleshooting

Indicators still flash too fast after installation.

Verify that the resistors are correctly wired inline with the positive (+) wire of each LED indicator. Ensure the correct type of resistor (RGR0002 for LED) has been used. Check that you have used one resistor per indicator.

Indicators do not flash at all after installation.

Double-check all connections for security and correct polarity. Ensure the resistor itself is not damaged. Verify that the original bulb worked correctly before attempting the LED conversion.

Resistor becomes excessively hot.

This could indicate an incorrect wattage rating for the application or a short circuit. Ensure the resistor is rated appropriately for your motorcycle's system and that all wiring is correctly insulated and free from shorts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures correct and safe indicator operation.
  • Easy to install for most users.
  • Addresses a common issue with LED indicator conversions.
  • Cost-effective solution compared to replacing indicators.
  • Compact size for discreet mounting.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for micro/mini indicators; may require verification for others.
  • Requires basic electrical understanding for installation.
  • Not applicable if your LED indicators already flash at the correct rate.
  • Sold in pairs, so you must buy two sets if all four indicators are replaced with LEDs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the motorcycle's ignition is switched OFF and the battery is disconnected if possible.
  2. Locate the existing wiring for one of your turn signals.
  3. Cut the positive (+) wire leading to the indicator.
  4. Connect one end of the resistor to the motorcycle's wiring side of the cut positive wire.
  5. Connect the other end of the resistor to the positive wire of the LED indicator.
  6. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated (e.g., using heat shrink tubing or electrical tape).
  7. Repeat for the other indicator in the pair.
  8. Reconnect the battery and test the indicators.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for use with LED indicators.
  • Specifically recommended for micro/mini indicator types.
  • Check your motorcycle's indicator wiring system to confirm positive (+) and negative (-) connections.
  • These resistors add a specific load; ensure they are suitable for your bike's electrical system.

Care:

  • These resistors are passive components and require no active maintenance.
  • Ensure connections remain clean and free from corrosion.
  • Avoid placing resistors in areas prone to excessive heat or moisture.
