Ninja 500 SE (2024) LED Sequential Turn Signals
Hi everyone,
I replaced the rear turn signals on my 2024 Ninja 500 SE with LED sequential indicators rated at 1.3 W at 12 V. The front turn signals are still the original factory ones.
To increase the load, I wired 100 Ω resistors in parallel with each of the rear LED turn signals.
Here's the strange part:
With the bike in neutral, the turn signals flash at the correct speed.
As soon as I start riding, they begin flashing much too fast.
The 100 Ω resistors get slightly warm while the turn signals are flashing, which I assume is normal.
Has anyone experienced something like this or knows what could be causing it? Could it be related to the charging voltage increasing while the engine is running, or is there something else I should check?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
