#44919 navcop73 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Re:kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 1 Year, 1 Month ago   I already have a diode kit installed, and I still get the same issue.I too have Kuryakyn working on it as well as Custom dynamics.com. I even sent them the link to your video. They are both supposed to get back to me. I've tried a 2 amp load equalizer, a 4 amp one, and both of them together. I've also tried an LED flash relay with all those combinations. Kury suggested that with Yamaha bikes that there is an issue with the stock main switch and It won't run 2 sets of LED's on the front. But I don't see how that can be the problem when Rev only has the one set of LED's, and I am useing the same wires that go to my mirrors and the mirrors aren't having problems. I'll let you know what responses I get back from the companies.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #52660 scottay0 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 10 Re:kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 12 Months ago   This is an old string but I will try it anyway I have the same led light bar; plug and play run turn brake controller; 2 load equalizers; 1 diode between indicator and left and right circuit; led fender strut lights and currently have no single brake light. all functions work with bike not running and if you turn the idle down far enough they will work as well. But off idle front led markers start to flicker irattically. I think there is something that has been overlooked in the vstar application.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #52662 silver_fox (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 199 Re:kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 12 Months ago   My son had the same problem with his bike when he went to LEDs. The good thing is that he's an electronics technician and cured the problem by installing a "filter" capacitor in the power line going to the flasher relay. He used a 1uF capacitor and took care of the flickering. He soldered the pos. lead of the cap. going to the 12 volt in side of the relay, and the neg lead to the cap. to any known good ground. I would start with the 1uF, You may need to use a different size capacitor for your bike. You can find the cap. at any Radio Shack for like a buck.I hope this helps.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #52665 scottay0 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 10 Re:kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 12 Months ago   will this damage any of the other electonics I have installed on the bike. I have installed Kuryakyn plug and play run-turn-brake controller and load equalizers 2. and would I still Install the capacitor in the same place since it is installed in line with factory type plugs.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #52668 scottay0 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 10 Re:kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 12 Months ago   could you send a picture of this installed and was it a yamaha vstar 650?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #52674 scottay0 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 10 Re:kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 12 Months ago   question is for silver_fox for the capacitor filter to work wouldn't it have to be installed in line rather than t'd in?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #52692 silver_fox (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 199 Re:kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 12 Months ago   no, the capacitor shunts the noise spikes to ground. no, it will not damage any other electronics. unfortunetly, his bike is in Hawaii right now so we're unable to show a pic of it. Sorry. His bike is a Yamaha R1, but it doesn't matter the bike. Noise is noise. His words, not mine. Hope this helps.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #54519 scottay0 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 10 Re:kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   still have not figured out a solution for this problem and kuryakyn hasn't as well. I have five diodes on front cicuit a cb radio noise filter installed a new ground and a capacitor installed and still no change. light seem to work better if the battery is low. I wish I could figure out a way to limit the amount of power they receive.   Logged     Last Edit: 2007/12/08 12:41 By scottay0.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #54520 drewtherev (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 Re:kuryakyn lightbar w/led turn signals 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I fixed it. I dropped my bike in the garage and the only thing that got damaged was the light bar. Now I need to buy new one. I don't plan to replace it with the same one. Problem fixed. What I was thinking about doing, but never got around to it was to wire the brighter LEDs (turn signal) to the running light wires and then get a couple of relays and connect them to the turn signal wires. And run the Running light wires through the relay.
