#30607 2000roadstar (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 258 kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 1 Year, 5 Months ago   I just put the kuryakyn lightbar with the led turn signals on my bike. Everything works great ( well the blinkers blink a little fast but that is not a major issue). The problem I am having is that when I start to accellerate/or even at cruising speed the led running lights flicker on and off. I didn't notice it but my wife mentioned to me yesterday when we got back from our ride. So I started the bike up and everything was fine until I started moving the accellerator(I can't spell) it started to flicker. Anyone else here install this lightbar? Any problems like that? Possible causes? I soldered all connections so I know that it can't be a loose connection(Well I assume that it's not). Anyways, as always, any help is greatly appreciated.

The flicker might be from the power wire you used. All just guesses cuz I don't know squat about this stuff. I do know about spelling stuff wrong. "moving the accellerator(I can't spell) ". Just use "twist the grip ".   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #30613 2000roadstar (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 258 Re:kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 1 Year, 5 Months ago   Thanks musky, I was just looking at load equalizers for the blinkers. But I am deciding whether to hold on that until I get the kuyakyn rear set up with the bullet lights. I used all the stock wiring and soldered the connections, I just didn't want to tear everything down to trace it. Being lazy. I think I will wait until the fuel pump relocation kit comes then I will have to take the tank off for that. But as always, thank you once again for your input. It is always good to hear even a guess because if that guess matches what you were guessing it always makes you feel better about the path you were on.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #30615 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 10751 Re:kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 1 Year, 5 Months ago   Cold solder joint?

If they are using the bolting to ground there may be paint that needs to cleaned away for it to get a good ground.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #30622 2000roadstar (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 258 Re:kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 1 Year, 5 Months ago   They are grounded using the groud wire from the wiring harness. And as for Doc, I didn't cold solder them. I used a hot soldering iron if that is what you were asking.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #30623 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 13085 Re:kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 1 Year, 5 Months ago   I would try a different power wire. At least it would eliminate that as the problem. Double check that you have everything hooked up right. Sometimes you need to go through everything it isn't to get to what it is.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #30624 Curt (User) Never to old to ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3028 Re:kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 1 Year, 5 Months ago   What Doc was saying it could be a cold solder joint. A solder joint that is not making a good conneion in the joint itself. Cure for the is reheat the joint again to make a good connection. It is some times caused by flux coating the joint and not solder.Check the factory plugs in the light bar itself if there are any.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #30627 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 10751 Re:kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 1 Year, 5 Months ago   Yea .... what Curt said ..... but better. LEDs don't flicker unless they are supposed to so you're getting a poor connection somewhere.

Thanks for everyones input.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
