Hey guys,

I have a 1990 cbr400rr, I bought it recently with LED indicators fitted which are flashing too fast. I have located the relay & was wondering if there is a LED replacement relay for our bikes? All i can find is relays like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOTORCYCLE-LE ... 518fac4fba But I believe this wont fit the 400's as its a 2 pin?

I would prefer to change the relay rather than fitting resistors on every indicator....

What's the best route & are the single resistors easy to fit if I have to use that route?


Cheers,

Toby

I use these, much better than the Chinese 99p ones. Made in Sweden I believe. There's a 3 pin version availablem IIRC the NC23 and NC29 have 3 pins.

I also make a mini loom to fit them so I don't have to remove the original plug

Link edited for the 3 pin version

Thanks for the reply dude! How do I make the plug or where can I buy one?

Many Thanks

All you need is one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Way-2-8mm-M ... 5d367ee237 and three of these (it's a pack of 50 but cheap enough) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PACK-OF-50-6- ... 3a7bf102a2 plus about 12" of 0.5mm sq automotive cable

I've no 3 pin connectors left at the moment or I'd make one up for you.

Ah okay pretty simple! On the the New relay, which order will the new connections connect to the existing connections. if that makes sense? Like left connection goes to middle on the old one etc or does it not matter?

sorry if that makes no sense!

Terminal 1 is the live feed from the switch, Terminal 2 is the load (to the indicators) and Terminal 3 is the earth.
So connect the grey wire to Terminal 1, the Black/Red to Terminal 2 and the Green to the Terminal 3

Ok thanks so much for your help!

Will the terminal order be written on the relay?

If you buy the red one I linked to it's marked on the body

I got a 3 pin relay and rewired on my fireblade.

Then was later reliably informed on the blade forum that the 2 pin one is what you need it just works differently do doesn't require the earth.

Thunderace talking nonsense again then.

Here's how I did it the relay was 99p plus post and a long wait, terminals and heat shrink were stock items for me so the job cost virtually nothing. Even so if I did it again I would definitely pay more and get the plug in one.
