Delboy's Garage, XJR Turbo, Blinkin' too fast !

[@MrYaatri]

You are sacrifcin the advantage of less power consumption of LEDs when you add a resistance in series. The proper way is to change the relay. The problem is not too much current but too little current drawn by LEDs.

[@royd9837]

It really is a simple job when you know what you're doing. That's why 73k subs follow you. You make things look so easy we all think we can do stuff like that. And we can because of you. Thanks for another cool video. PS loved the demo on the white board. It really does help the novice. I hope you and Penny know how much confidence you give people like me to give things a go.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Roy, thats very kind of you, its just simple stuff and you're right, sometimes the novice just needs a simple explanation.. thanks for watching and take care.. Del.

[@clivewilliams1406]

Adding a resistor to replicate the resistance of the tungsten bulb is not the best way to install LED indicators. Substituting an electronic relay for the original (probably electro-mechanical) one is far more preferable - think of all those amps you save by doing so! The resistors are also a heat risk that is best not to have Will your open turbo meet noise requirements? Also, what about the potential for flames to emit from the turbo, which the silencer effectively eliminates on a well set up installation?

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Clive, just being cheap with the resistors, the last owner gave me them with the bike, and even if they were splice in ones i would have binned them and fitted a relay... but as they were plug in ones, i just took the easy option and and bunged em in.. you are dead right, a proper LED relay is the best option... and with the Turbo, they arent that loud actually, not as loud as an open race can, the fan acts as a silencer and also provides back pressure to the head... and no, it wont spit flames, its only pushing 5psi of boost, very tame in turbo terms mate... check a few out on the tube, its a unique sound, but not overtly loud..

[@MerlinZener]

it's funny how you said everyone gets a bit weird about electrics - not me! I grew up messing around with crystal radios and transistors later, I can track down pretty much any electrical issue with a multimeter and a test lamp. For years, gearboxes were a complete mystery to me - all sorts of vague things to go wrong, I was never confident I could get all those things back in the right order. For some reason I've got some kind of phobia about pulling my forks apart, I've got no idea why. Everyone's got their thing. It's great you [and others] put out all these videos on youtube, no matter how much you know there's always something else to learn! :)

[@Moonfleet41]

Too right Merlin, we all have our favourite things, thats why we can work well sharing knowledge.. thanks for watching..

[@Broadcast1Channel]

Purchasing the appropriate plug in replacement LED flasher unit is the most sensible and simpler way when retrofitting LED indicators in place of tungsten lamps. Something to watch out for is some LED retro fit lamps have in-built current bias resistors (not to be confused with the current limiting resistor the LED requires) to provide the same load as a 21W tungsten lamp, in order to correct the flash rate and if present fool electronic detection of failed bulb with in the vehicle management system. These particular ones can run too hot due to inadequate heat dissipation because of the inclusion of bias resistor, which is often under rated for the application and cause the lamp fail prematurity. In the worst cases they can burn up.

[@JVerschueren]

Ooooh... poor explanation there. There's not 'too much current going down the line', which needs to be 'absorbed'. There's too little current being drawn, so some current needs to be shunted accross the LED indicator to trick the system into 'thinking' there's a bulb.

[@MrMattthompson92]

Your explanation is also wrong. An Led has almost no resistance, meaning there's far too much current flowing around the circuit, almost like a short circuit. Resistors need to be added to reduce the current.

[@incandescentwithrage]

Thomo 1 Nope, the OP was right. These LEDs are designed for the application so they have built in current limiting resistance, or multiple diodes in series to increase the forward voltage drop. If it had "almost no resistance" it would die very quickly. The resistor is in parallel to increase current draw, not in series to decrease it.

[@MrMattthompson92]

IncandescentwithRage, you're right. I didn't know indicators were fitted with built in resistors and my understanding of how a flasher worked in relation to current was backwards. The indicators actually have a much higher resistance than the standards bulbs, meaning very little current flows. Causing a fast flash. Adding the resistor in parallel reduces the overall resistance of the circuit allowing more current to flow and slowing down the flash.

[@HalfdeadRider]

All I know is that LED's are not bulbs (obvious if you know lol) and that they just need a current passing through to work. Wheather they use/draw current idk, my guess would have been if any it would be a tiny amount. Mechanics are only taught enough about electronics to be able to do basic work really, not to understand electronics at an expert level.

[@incandescentwithrage]

Thomo 1 Yeah that's the way it does it. You have the same with modern(ish) cars that will warn you a bulb is out if you fit 'basic' LEDs. If you look on eBay etc for CANBUS compatible LEDs, they have a built in parallel resistor to pull the current expected from a 5w. To replace larger bulbs, yeah you need external resistors to handle the heat dissipation, or a £10 LED flasher. Constant current (instead of voltage) LED drivers are used for the really bright ones.

[@KarlTheDingbat]

I just tend to go for the solid state relays, they will work for both bulb and led, the price difference is negligible as well. It is usually just a straight swap, but I did have to swap around a couple of leads in the connector block the last time I did it.

[@radiolinux45]

Where did you get the load resistors from? I am having a similar problem with BMW R65 Sept 1981 model with Side-Car have longer wire connections left-hand side is flashing too quickly I am not using LED bulbs only using conventional bulbs ?

[@Moonfleet41]

They were given to me with the bike, so not sure where they came from.. the brand was "Bike It" maybe they are available on ebay..?

[@CookingwithChefDai]

Wow Del, such a fuss free and simple solution. Thanks so much for the clear explanation. Definitely going to do this for my blinking too fast ER6 too. God bless Del, Penny....and cable ties! Take care! Dai

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi there Dai, good to hear from you, and thanks for watching... got your pictures of the RSV4, and right by the Arkley, we used to go in there when we lived in Enfield... ill get round to a reply in the facepage, just under it at the mo.. take care my friend.. all the best.. D&P.

[@Lemonators]

Hi del & penny, My question is, would you consider the filter it has to be a bit risky? Surely all it would take is one Dodgey puddle and for the filter to suck in a small amount of water then it's game over. Only asking as I've thought about taking the air box off my bandit and putting 4 little mini cone filters on the carbs

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Ollie, im sourcing an all stateliness steel one, and ill probably run a rain screen net over it.... but resat assured matey, this is a very common setup for turbos..

[@Liam_Bollocks]

Not sure if anyone else noticed but your headlight was dipping bad with the left indicator, that would be normal as the bike isn't running, but it didn't do it with the right hand indicators on, could well be nothing and it stops when the bike is running, just thought I'd point it out

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Liam, ha ha, i knew someone would make that comment... its not the headlight buddy, on the front the bike it has two LED strip lights beside the oil cooler, they act as "side lights" because the headlight has been converted to LED, and then the indicators flash, the top half of the strip light goes out and flashed orange, and the reason you couldn't see it on the right was that the right strip light on the other side of the bike was reflecting on the wall, sorry mate, should have shown the front,, ill do it in the next video when the bike comes back..! Del.

[@Liam_Bollocks]

Moonfleet41 fair enough mate, just making sure it wasn't an issue 😂

[@robertstillwell1829]

Moonfleet41 I

[@DJShadow1966]

Ooops disregard my comment about alternate flashing then lol

[@OcotilloTom]

Del, I noticed that my Harley Davidson dealer has LED "bulbs'' that look like the stock bulb. They just replace the stock bulb in the original light housing. Do you know if these LED "bulbs" contain a built in resistor or would I have to wire an inline resistor into the wiring harness/loom? Tom from Arizona

[@Moonfleet41]

Tom, i have to admit, i dont know buddy, i haven't bought any of those bulbs, and maybe they work right away in a Harley, but in another bike i guess they are still LED so could need a resistor.... not sure, id have to do it and see..!

[@androz8362]

Hi Dell Boy, hope youre well. I just bought a Bahn Chrome Air Cleaner from J&P motorcycles for my 2000 custom sportster. It was on sale for $96 down from $360. I wanted to change the stock cleaner and through scouring different manufacturers stumbled on a quality product on sale. My concern is not the fitting, but will I need to rejet the carb? Havnt done that before and unsure what type of replacement jet I would need. Have you previously done a video on this and if not is there any advise you can offer. Thanks as always for your help. Andy

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi buddy, good to hear from you... does your Sporty have open pipes or still got the factory mufflers..?

[@androz8362]

Hi, thx for getting back to me. It has factory pipes and scraming eagle slip ons assume theyre stock as well.

[@gtarider477]

nice install i did the resistors as well, but then ended up swapping out the flash relay for a led one. What i did for the rear turn signals was a 4 way trailer convertor, basically u hook up DRL/break/left and right signal /ground and the out put is 5 wires left/right and ground. since the bandit has 2 break light bulbs and 2 elements per bulbs. how it hooked up low element both bulbs is DRL, high element is break/ signal. The trailer convertor take care of the break and signal on at the same time, this can be done with 4 relays as well but the convertor comes in a nice small package which looks very clean. Hope this can help some one who wants to just get rid of the rear signals for a tail tidy, but still needs/ wants indicators

[@richardwilkinson6462]

Hi m8 just wondering I thought indicator & stop light bulbs where 21w. Are 5w bulbs not just used for side and tail lights ?

[@Moonfleet41]

Yeah sorry mate, not thinking..

[@christophershirley1303]

(P) Hey Del At 09:15 when you put on the left indicator to test it...what's going on with the headlights? Doesn't happen with the right indicator? Cheers

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Chris,ha ha, i knew someone would make that comment... its not the headlight buddy, on the front the bike it has two LED strip lights beside the oil cooler, they act as "side lights" because the headlight has been converted to LED, and then the indicators flash, the top half of the strip light goes out and flashed orange, and the reason you couldn't see it on the right was that the right strip light on the other side of the bike was reflecting on the wall, sorry mate, should have shown the front,, ill do it in the next video when the bike comes back..! Del.

[@christophershirley1303]

Ahhh... I saw the side lights in the front shot on the previous video...but boy they are bright! So does the top half of the side light become an indicator as well as the small LED stalk on the forks?

[@highlandriders9696]

Smart looking and I know nothing about current or resistors but had been advised this way would work so thanks for a walk thru. Had noticed white light flash at front end but have seen your explanation in other comments. Cheers pal

[@jasonjares1936]

What if I have regular bulbs that flash normally most of the time, but sometimes they flash fast? Would placing a resistor in there fix that as well?

[@Moonfleet41]

No Jason.. if they sometimes flash faster, thats probably a bulb that either has a loose or bad connection and is disconnecting now and again.... next time it happen, look front and rear of that side to see which one is out, and replace it... also check the connection, all indicators plug into the loom about 9 inches from the light.. so check that its plugged in ok too..

[@stevennelson8152]

Really interested in your Vids, can i ask where do you stand when you mot the bike, do you have to take steps to quieten the noise output ? I have a 1400 and id love to turbo her.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Steve.., two answers to that buddy... firstly we dont have any noise regulation for MOT here in the UK, all it needs to be is "not defective" and not have "Race use only" written on it... so they cant fail for noise alone.. although you can get an "Advisory" on the test certificate. The other issue is that a Turbo itself acts like a baffle... the little spinning fan in the exhaust quietens it down a lot even thought its a bit aggressive sounding..

[@marksmith8663]

Good easy going video . Handy double tail ends on the heat sink resistors . I bought a bike that the person before wired them in series which dropped the voltage on the indicator . So the led was v dull. Which explained why people didn't know where i was turning into on my home from picking the bike lol .

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Mark, yeah, i think the main message i wanted to get across here was that the resistor needs to be bridged accross the terminals, not wired inline which may look like the most logical way...

[@lukemagee462]

Del, did you need to do the front or were they left as regular bulbs?

[@Moonfleet41]

No Luke, like i said in the video, the single resistor per side will slow that whole side down, front and back... and you can fit it anywhere in the line..

[@lukemagee462]

Moonfleet41 ahh didn't quite understand it at the time. I had put LEDs on mine and put 4 resistors on and they still flash too quick. Could it be the case I have put two too many resistors on. ?

[@damiongreen6502]

hi Del, just fitted LED indicators to my gen 1 Tuono with a new Flasher relay but now have a solid green indicator light on my dash. Any ideas how to sort this? As always any help massifly appretiated.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Damion, I've had that with my ZX7R, I put the single bar end indicators in, they flashed fine, but too fast, I changed the relay, which slowed them down, but like yours, my dash light stayed on... so I put resistors in the system instead of the relay, they now flash at the right rate and the dash light works .. .I think sometimes these relays are the problem, every other time I've used them, they've been fine!... Sorry i can't be more help, that's just what happened to me mate... best of luck with it...

[@ownyourworld]

That's all well and good but I want to know is where that dent came from on the right of your white board 😊

[@Moonfleet41]

happened in transit when i bought it... thats why i have two, they sent me a free replacement and didnt want the dented one back.!

[@ownyourworld]

Moonfleet41 😊good I can sleep at night now ! Lol another good vid , what do you think of cb1300's ? Big reliable hondas ? As I'm thinking of getting one any thing major go wrong with them ?

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi again buddy, the CB1300 is a wonderful bike, ive had two of them over the years and cant fault them, but lazy touring muscle bike with bags of grunt, you'll love it.. their only general criticism is that they are a bit bland compared to the Suzuki and Yamaha equivalent, but its a Honda, and thats always a claim Honda's suffer, they ar a little more restrained in their image.... but thats personal taste.. id have another one tomorrow mate..

[@ownyourworld]

Moonfleet41 cool cheers 👍🏻

[@jonboy-kb1jj]

Nice neat job Del, but I wish you'd cut those cable ties flush with some small cutters!! I used to work with a fitter who always used to leave those sharp triangular edges from the cable ties, I still have the scar on my arm where it sliced through my skin like a small Stanley blade. Looking forward to seeing & hearing the new pipe mate 👍🏻

[@syrides6446]

Please tell me I'm not mad, few years back I read that putting bearing in the freezer makes them shrink a little making it easier to fit

[@Moonfleet41]

Yep, thats good advice, i just didnt do it.. you leave the bearing in a cold freezer over night, then heat the wheel casting up with a hot gun (not enough to damage paint), then the bearing practically drops in cold..

Mr Delboy , how many power w'ill have the bike approxely? with the turbo , I believe it has now around a 100 horsepower Alex (Belgium)

Hi Alex, the factory BHP was about 98 from new.. but with the turbo its 183BHP using the full length exhaust, but thats being redesigned to an open short pipe, so it should be closer to 200..!

[@alexdekegel5358]

Thanks Mr Delboy ! I like your bike its one of my favorites. Me self, I have a oldtimer a K100 BMW naked. I've bin working on it this winter.I do not have her so long. Its like driving a BOAT buth it go's like a train !! and its verry steady on the highway as on regler roads .The XJR Its a classic nice looking bike , with caracter its not to old or to new looking (of design I mean) ! Its certain not to have the a 200 horse power alone. buth its also nice/pleasure to trim the engine .And as usual you w'ill do a good job on that bike. Alex (Belgium)

[@i3bigc3i]

Are you going to get it back on the dyno with the new exhaust, or will it not make enough of a difference to be worth it?

[@Moonfleet41]

Yes buddy, i have a buddy who owns a dyno tuning shop, he's seen the bike and said to drop it over for a run up... the figures i have are on Dyno sheets from about 15 years ago, so it could well have changed a lot since then, it'll be good to get a fresh true figure now and see what its making...

[@i3bigc3i]

Moonfleet41 Nice one, looking forward it!

[@MidwestMotoRider]

Great video however for $10 you could just go up to the local Auto parts store and pickup a 12V LED flasher relay and its a direct replacement fit to the original one. Its what I did with my 75 Honda took 2 seconds to replace the old one. If however you like doing this, it works just as well and gives you experience with wiring and is pretty easy to do as Dell showed.

[@titchness8487]

But Del, I put a third indicator (bulb) under the seat on each side and now my LEDs work 😊 why wouldn't you?

[@Crockett20]

Hi Del, I started riding my R6 again last weekend and now my indicator light are blinking very fast as well as being reversed on the rear. So when i press the left side indicator the right rear flashes and vice versa. In the front it is not reversed. Ive had this bike for 12 years and never had a problem. Ive connected the battery the normal way as usual. Any tips? Cheers, Nils

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Nils.. it sounds like you have the rear indicator leads crossed.. did you maybe get the plugs mixed up? Just plug them in the other way round and they should flash correctly... and you don't need resistors anymore, just buy yourself an LED flasher relay to slow it down.

[@Crockett20]

@@Moonfleet41 thanks a lot for your swift reply. It is a little bit weird since I never fumbled around with the wires and now all of a sudden it blinks a lot faster and is reversed.....i will reconnect it and buy a flasher relay and will let you know. Thank again for the quick help, much appreciated !

[@SurreyRider]

Great video with a clear explanation and professional finish, thanks Del and Penny

[@MackieBass]

[@Moonfleet41]

Do it brother... everyone should try a turbo bike once...!

[@RenchRanch]

Load resistors added to the indicator circuit could possibly make the LED output less light. Just something to watch for. It depends on the brand of LED indicators and how many individual LED elements are clustered together. This is why the solid state flasher relay designed for LED's works better than electro-mechanical as it won't dim the indicators. But either method works fine. Some companies have so many tiny LED's clustered together that the combined internal resistance is similar to an incandescent bulb so the old flasher works fine. IMHO, one solution is not any "better" than the other in reality as long as the indicators blink at the correct rate and the light output is acceptable. More than one way to do it. But you can never beat FREE!!! LOL. Having the load resistors already = free = more beer money = best solution! ;-) Cheers! Mike

P. Hi Del a very appropriate vlog for me, I bought the auxiliary lamp set for my Fatboy from Swansea HD , it was in a sale.,No lamps came with it so I bought a set of LED on Amazon, the hardware is easy enough to do bit the 7" headlight came with a couple of harnesses, as is it will just plug & play but one of the harnesses is a PWM (pulse width modulation) apparently to stop flickering as the leds don't draw the same amount of power , similar to what you explained.Would you put this in , I looked at a few forums & the jury is out.Also what is the law regarding having the auxiliaries on, I know there is a separate switch but was thinking of wiring them into main bean.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks next week when the bike comes back..lol

[@tinks43]

(P) What a blinkin nuisance! Easy fix & tidy install though 👍🏻

[@Moonfleet41]

Cheers buddy, use what you have aye..

[@MattRiddell]

it's weird that the resistor has 4 poles - I would have thought it would just be in line with the live wires

[@Moonfleet41]

I guess thats the common sense theory.. but they go across the pos and neg to replace the bulb thats missing... its still better to fit an LED relay in the first place. but i had these handy and they just plug in...

bang on vid loved it

[@TroubadourJuggernaut]

The comments on this particular video are beyond annoying .... "cut zip ties square" "use proper LED relay" I would love to watch some of the commenters videos, oh right, they don't exist.

[@Moonfleet41]

hi Troubz.. You make a very good point... but this is social media, and you know the drill, everyone gets a voice, everyone can make what ever comment they like...no matter weather its kind, polite, rude or obnoxious... they are all free to criticize all they like..... TBH, yes i can fit a dedicated relay instead, thats a more 'professional' way to do it.. but i was given the resistors free with the bike ,and they turned out to be easy plug in ones.. so used what i had... Take care buddy.. Del.

There seems to be far too much bickering and nit picking going on with the channel these days about the correct term used to explain something that is quite obvious to us all . Dont we get enough political correctness thrown at us in our daily lives ?
