A simple and cheap effective way to solve this is add an old incandesent dual filiment bulb connecting the ground common and each of the filaments tone to the left and the other to the right, this will solve your problem without adding resistors that heat and burn out.

SOURCE: indicators flash too fast

hi,this may help,the standard relay will not work properly with led units as they are very low current devices,a standard relay runs at about 5amps current draw on standard 21w bulbs,however leds only draw about 0.25w,so on a standard relay the leds will flash at a million miles an hour,any good auto sparky will have a transistorized relay that willswap out for the original,these relays are not current dependant and will flash at the correct rate regardless of the current draw on them and it will solve the problem you are having...cheers

I have changed my flasher bulbs with LED Bulbs, I now have rapid turh signals. 2013 Honda CRV EXL

I have seen this so many times. If you change the bulbs for LED lamps then you need to change the flasher unit. This is because the LED lamps draw less current then ordinary bulbs.

Replaced Aprilia rs50 2006 indicators with LED ones + LED flasher relay though they light up but DON'T FLASH?

I am not a electronic wizz but i believe the led's will light up but do not have enough resistance to cause the internal breakers to work.
I found this.
The post that had the link said that it fixes fast blink and no blink conditions. http://www.greggscustoms.com/instruc...istor_Inst.pdf

I've got a honda cbr600rr 07, I've fitted LED indicator lights to the bike and resistors to slow the indicators down, however their still flashing to fast so ive read up to change the relay, I've found...

the thing that controls your indicators should make a clicking sound when they are turned on, try changing your bulbs back to the stock lights, if that makes no difference replace your unit :)

Replacing stock turn signals with LED Honda FT 500

Only problem I have heard of is the speed that the led indicators flash at. May be too fast to pass MOT. This is solved by changing the flasher relay for one made for led lights or fitting resistors in the wires to indicators which sometimes are included with the led lights.

Just fitted led indicators to 800 valusia

another way to solve the fast flashing is to have all led incators and they should flash at the same speed

LED Indicator Problems & Flasher Relay?

Modern Ducatis (and cars) don't have a conventional flasher. The blink rate is controlled by the dash cpu. The blink rate change is used to indicate that a bulb is out (by sensing low resistance). Using a resistor will fool the cpu into blinking correctly.

LED Indicators

or can I disconnect OEM indicators and connect one up to see if it works ok. Basically I dont want to rewire the bike for the indicators not to work!! just installed my LEDs a couple months back. All I did was to change the flasher relay that you can buy at local auto store for less than $10 bucks. and add resistors inline that are 8ohm 25watt. You can get the resistors from radio shack. i only needed to install the resistor on the front indicators. I didn't do them all at the same time. So, the rears worked fine with just the flasher relay for me but depends on your LEDs. Be safe and just get the resistors and relay and all will work just fine. And you don't need to rewire your bike. ....The problem is that the LEDS do not pull enough power to trip the relay to flash and the resistors correct that. And do them all at once..,,,
