mattyp713 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Hey everyone! I have a 2021 and have replaced the OEM LED turn signals. I’ve gone through 3 different sets of aftermarket turn signals that “flow” or “scan.” However the bike speeds up the flash for the turn signals to the hyper-flash (hazards work just fine). Has anyone figured out how to slow the flash rate down? I’ve messed with resistors and they either don’t do anything, or short the system out and don’t flash the lights at all. As far as I know (I could very much be wrong), there aren’t relays on the bike, it’s all controlled by the lighting control unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyTheHog Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 You also need to replace the relay to LED compatible one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyTheHog Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I know the headlight is.... but are the OEM turn signal LED? if they are not, I bet the flasher Relay are not either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Led signal.. Led headlamp only comes with led signal.. could be the voltage of oem signal not same with aftermarket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheap generic lights can be sloppy on design quality since the flasher relay just looks for enough resistance. Since your bike came with LED flashers, that is controlled with an ECU rather than relay, the ECU is probably "confused" since the resistance is less than expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
