Hi All,

I have an 04 600rr and I installed side marker LED blinkers and a rear taillight with intergrated yellow LED turnsingls but I cant get it to blink ?? someone told me I need a relay or resistornot sure were I can get these anyone have an idea or is it something I hooked up wrong?

Thanks In advance LED

 

Yes you need to wire resistors with the rear signals. With leds on the front and rear they are actually blinking its just going so fast you cant see it. Your local radio shack should carry them though I don't remember which one's you need aside from it being the kind in a ceramic block.

 

I have an 03 with led tail...that I just bought...I didn't do the mod.....but the blinkers do move fast..and there are no resistors in the wires to the tail.

Since resistances in a series are additive....I would measure the resistence across the blinker circuit on the bike and then across the old lights...what you should find is that the new blinkers have a much lower resitence. therefore I would then go buy a resistor nessecary to get the new value approximately the same as the old....this should slow the blinkers down.....it is likely possible to accomplish this with one resitor cleverly placed in the wiring system...I haven't studied the diagrams enough to know where that is...I would start by bringing the tail light back to factory resitence by the proceedure above and see if that gets you close.

http://pdftown.com/Honda-CBR600RR-Service-Manual.html is a link to where I was able to DL a FSM for free...study the diagrams and decide how you want to attack the wiring.....you shouldn't be able hurt anything by adding extra resistence to the circuit as long as you add it "in-line" or in series.
