So you have led indicators yes? As a temporary measure take out the indicator light in the clocks. If that fixes it you need to get yourself a couple of single line rectifiers, like the ones on a DT175, pop one in each wire to the indicator bulb in the dash and (providing you fit them the right way round) problem sorted.
JORDAN-432 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Posted April 16, 2010 Thanks, so by taking the light out from the clocks is it just as simple as it sounds
Moderator Cynic Posted April 16, 2010 Moderator Posted April 16, 2010 Thanks, so by taking the light out from the clocks is it just as simple as it sounds What bike manufacturers generally do is have the indicator indicator(you know what i mean) earth through the side that is off as there is not enough power running through the lamp to make the indicators on the other side flask. Led indicators need a fraction of the normal amount of electric to work and the earth current from the dash lamp is more than capable of lighting all of them like hazards on a car. If you do whip the dash lamp out dont forget the MOT man will want one in place and working correctly at time of test. Otherwise yes it should fix it.
