LED Problem's
-
did anybody get this problem sorted with the stop and tail light as have fitted a led bulb to and it only flickers at tickover but fine once revs are up no load resistors fitted
@britshgigolo The best I got was a dim tail light at idle and bright when the revs were higher. Sadly my DTR didn't like the LED rear light at all!!!
-
How odd. My 2000 dtr had no problems at all. Is the headlight dim as well? I'm wondering if there's a problem with the voltage regulator.
-
@gareth_iowc i have not installed any resistors to the bike as smds dont mormally need them do you have a link to the bulb you installed as thinking it could be the bulbs thats the problem maybee we should put up what bulbs we find that work ok and what ones to give a miss as would help others
-
@CYBER-NINJA yer thats the same as i have dim and flickering when idle but fine once revs are up have put on new battery and change the rectifer for a new one to solve the problems with the head light i was having and tested the stator and that reads fine but have got a spare to so may give that a try just incase
-
the indicators ones seem to be ok just waiting on the led flasher to arive as they dont like the one on the bike with 4 led bulds fitted as not enough power to trip the flasher
-
well got the new flasher unit and it still not working with all indicator bulbs changed they all flash when you switch on indicator to the left and nothing to the right so can only be somthing to do with the bulb in the head unit turn singnal as thats a standard bulb so back to square one with this
-
@Calum did you find a led bulb to fit in the indicator turn light on the instument panel
@britshgigolo For the vapor unit?
Nah I haven't looked. Bike still needs more work so haven't bothered
-
-
no this is the standard dtr unit
@britshgigolo Right I don't have standard clocks.
-
ok mate ty

right the problem with the led indicators and just led indicator bulbs is the dash signal that causes the problem as it uses feeds from bth sides so what is happening is the power is going back down the other feed where they split and causes both sides to flash you can buy a kit for this but after reading up its just two diodes that is needed 1N4005 600v 1A General Purpose Diodes 99p for ten so have ordered them and will get them fitted and let you all know the out come but you will still need to change the flasher to stop the fast flash problem

@britshgigolo Interesting, how did you discover this remedy bud???

been trying a few things as could not work out why this was happening and then started to search the intenet and came across a few articals with same problems then found this site https://matchlessclueless.com/store/led-indicators/led-indicator-diode/
wich gave me the answers -
