uzi_999 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 hi all, first thread here , although i have found this forum damn useful reading up about the YBR125.. anyhow, wanted to ask y'all a quick question. the factory indicators on a ybr are 10w, according to the owners manual, but aftermarket ones, by oxford, are 21w.. would that be fine, considering its only a 11w increase, and bearing in mind that indicators aren't constantly on. also the wiring on the harness seems like it can handle it. any opinions? (btw, im changing to these, because ive got a set of spotlamps, and couldnt find anywhere to mount 'em - but the normal indicator positions - as a temporary fix, the indi's are cleverly mounted on using sellotape ) will post up pictures if anybody wants any ideas/inspirations (when bike gets back from mechanic) ...
Moderator drewpy Posted February 4, 2009 Moderator Posted February 4, 2009 10w is unusually low for indicators, is this a haynes manual by any chance? 21W is the norm or you could go LED and use an LED control flasher

I think if you fit 21w bulbs your indicators may flash faster.
blackhat250 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 considering its only a 11w increase, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now then " iv just M.O.T."d The old 400 [passed. ] Point is it failed last week & one thing was "turn signals" Too fast [120 flash per min] is max .... so the options 1 . Fit another unit [ original is soldered 3 terminal] spare 1 had 2. 2 . replaced rear bulbs [ off RD400] 12 v /21w. DT400 is 6V/17w. BINGO Slowed repetitions [ Increased resistence ] Rears were slightly dimmer but hey shes thru MOT. NOW FOR THE REGISTRATION ... HOPINGLY BY TOMMORROW NT.

HOPINGLY BY TOMMORROW NT. thanks for that mate im MOT free for another two years (07 plate ), but ill wire them up anyhow, without mounting them, and just count if its under 120 flashes/min
nio Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 @drewpy: "21W is the norm or you could go LED and use an LED control flasher" The normal wattage is the one prescribed by the maker, and that is 10w for the YBR125 @Geoffxt: "I think if you fit 21w bulbs your indicators may flash faster." Biger wattage = slower blinking (or flasher reley burned) @uzzi_999 If you put LEDs on you should change the flasher releay 'cause LEDs need a special flasher (due to very low consumption) or a spesific resistance (in serial junction).
steve m Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Yes you can get 12v 10watt bulbs, what sort of fitting is it ?? Try These consuma Bulbs More Bulbs
