  1. Hihi, first off, welcome in... So... LED swaps aren't just straight forward... Ever... There are several questions that need answering before you get anywhere near an answer to this. 1/ Did you purchase a dedicated LED indicator upgrade for your particular bike? 2/ If not, did you just buy a cheap set of 4 LED indicators? 3/ If not, did you go the very cheap route and just buy 4 LED indicator 'bulbs' and replace them? 4/ Does your bike run on a 'CANBUS' (Controller Area Network) system? 5/ Did your install include a controller unit? There will be several more questions no doubt from more knowledgeable people, but that's your start... The fact that your indicators flash at the correct speed means that your bike isn't detecting the low power draw of the LEDs as a burned out bulb, which means either they're regulated or your replaced your indicator relay... 6/ Does your bike have a single turn signal indicator bulb on the dash or a right & left indicator? If it only has one indicator bulb on the dash, it's possible that you're getting a current leakage thru the shared turn signal indicator bulb. Removing this bulb and trying again will tell you if this is the problem. If it is, you need to install a diode in the bulb wiring...
  2. Glad we could be of help..! lol Welcome in anyway.
  3. See, that makes so much more sense than in the Appalachian mountains..! They did them in exactly the same pattern, but red too. But you're right, the Blue ones were far more common, and yet, if you look around for one these days, the blue ones are rare as hell!??! He should be up there at the top now, I've given him one too. For bikers, we have some strange views of 'exciting'... rofl
  4. Banff... Had to google that! But I'm getting that it's in Canada. You don't sound like you're in Canada..? I'm going to go on the principle that you're in England and work from there! lol. In any event... Welcome in! At least you'll be able to do your DAS and not have to wibble through the rigmarole of going through the licence levels! It's cold at the moment, but at least that means you should have passed by the time the nice weather starts.
  5. Or, there's the expensive / buggeration option: When was the last time your valve gaps were done?
  6. And here's me trying desperately not to spam the place up..!
  7. You could possibly do with an external mike for your camera. You have a rather resonant voice like me, there's a lot of reverberation on the audio... Other than that, an informative video (that's actually in focus!!!).
  8. So... I 'think' the part number you want to be searching for is: 3KM-22210-00 That should get you some hits...
  9. Hey, looking good! But, who would park a house on a motorbike???
  10. Possibly a little more information would be good... What exactly is your model of XJ600? Purchase Yamaha XJ600N motorcycle parts online Fowlers Parts in that link list a few options.
  11. Well, you're a regular now... I'd probably get a lot more points if I posted pictures, but, I'm lazy... lol I don't even know what all the categories are for earning points!!!
  12. Ho Ho Humbug! I'm still not entirely sure WHAT you get points for? rofl
  13. I'm going to clarify that... I was BORN in the late 60s..! lol
