Hey everyone,
I got new front turn signals, some simple and generic led blinkers.
Had a bit of a low side so just want to instal something cheap for now.
These led blinkers however flash at much quicker rate. Thought I can get an aftermarket flash relay but reading the forum posts I understand that MT10 doesn’t have one, so I wonder what can be the issue and how can I fix it?

It's my understanding that whenever you go from a halogen bulb to an LED bulb, you have to use a resistor to slow down the blink.

I didn't have an issue with fast flashing when I put my TST signals on. The OEM signals have a long plastic tube attached in the wirings - that's the resistor.

I bought a few generic resistors from amazon but returned them all since they did not do the trick. They usually come with the lights, no? I haven't messed with the stock turn signals so I would take advice from will or somebody else. I'm just speaking on experience from other bikes. |

When I replaced my turn signals I actually cut out the stock resisters attached to the signals and I had no issue with hyper flash.

I bought a few generic resistors from amazon but returned them all since they did not do the trick. You usually use something like this. Connect between the power and ground wires for each signal.  Also according to the manual there is no signal relay - the signals connect directly to the gauge cluster. |
