electrical brake light / indicator problem

Post by pugparcels »

ok this may not be anything anyone can help with as this issue is arising from my nc30 fireblade project. i have connected up the tail light electrics today ( led ) - all work fine side light and brake light only when lever is as normal.

i have connected the rear indicators along with the front ( both not led ) and when the indicator is turned on they work and at the correct flash rate but they seem to be causing the tail light to flash as well - only slightly but enough to notice.

just wondered if anyone has any ideas? i will try to look over it properly tomorrow. if my memory serves me the indicators on a standard 30' connected to wires coming off the head lights?

as i now have 600rr lights it does not work that way. so i have presently just have the blue and black connector blocks which has three wires coming into them, however i can only use two to get the indicator to work the third is currently going no where.

if it makes a difference the turn signal on the dash is currently not flashing when the indicators are on, im guessing this maybe becasue of the third wire as well, i am gona have another go in the morning but i just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts before i have another go......

I have a similar problem on my nc30, when I switch high beams on the brake light illuminates a bit brighter.

I'm not attempting to sort it out because I made this loom from scratch so It'll be a nightmare. I'll just live with it.
