3 years later...this video is one of the best videos on this subject matter. I've seen plenty, but you are the first to explain, diagram and demonstrate the solution to the problem. Great content!! Thank you, Sir.

I've watched a bunch of these videos and yours is the first to actually show which wires to hook the resistors too. Everyone else just says hook them before the bulb and that's it with no more explanation of which wire to hook them to and what to do with the ground. Excellent, thanks.

Thanks, Keith, 3 flasher modules, 1 week checking fuses switching wires around and finally checked out KZfaq. I never would have suspected the indicator light. Made short work; cut the wire. Will look for a diode here in the US. Appreciate your video. - Allen Moretsky in Florida

This just save me from hours of going through wiring on my moped artwork switching to led headlights. You are a legend.

THANK YOU! I had the 4 way flash problem until I followed your tip of removing the indicator bulb. As you stated, two LEDs worked fine,but a little fast. I bought the LED flasher relay a few days ago which fixed the fast cadence. Today, I just reinstalled the front LED blinkers which have blue arrows facing the rider and amber facing out. At least with that, I do have an indicator for now. I will install the diodes so that I can get the indicator working again. Thanks again!

Wow i was sceptical of this working but it actually worked lol

I just wanted to say thank you for the great video!!saved my life!! Helped me alot!! I have a 2020 500 excf that i got last summer(2022).. the guy changed the turn signals to LED and made a mess!! Cutting wires, no conector, just twisted the wires togheter with electrical tape... i fixed all that mess with the help of your video!! Good job! And i've watched a bunch of your video, very well done! It keeps me entertained during the long winter days here in Canada!!

Thank you so much . . I was able to fully understand the cicuit thanks to your comprehensive explanation Keith, good work! I used this knowledge to fit LED blinkers to my DRZ400 and sort the issue with the diode solution.

Great explanation. Currently planning an led signal upgrade on 70s bike. OEM set up on bike has no ground wires on signals, expects to get ground from plastic housing. So, decided I would upgrade to led and actually ground each signal using two wires from signal solution. Wanted to troubleshoot before I started, as I had heard about multiple issues. Many videos discuss the hyper flashing and all flashing problems, none explain and demonstrate solution as clearly. Yours is best description I have seen. I have led signals, electronic flasher to replace bimetallic OEM and premade diode harness being delivered. Will test it all attached to harness before removing incandescent system. Fingers crossed!

Hi. I’m from South Africa and just bought a KTM 500 with 105 hours on. Previous owner fitted led indicators and is doing exactly like in your video. I’m not very good at electrical stuff, but lets hope I can fix this problem. We’re also planning on doing light adventure trips.

An incredibly helpful video, thank you saved me a lot of headscratching

Thanks so much. All 4 were flashing, took out indicator dash bulb and fixed it! Thanks again

Wow! You just saved me 100s of hours. I would have never thought to take out the dash bulb! Thank you, good sir!

Thank you! Had this problem that all leds flash. Fixed it! THANK YOU!! ❤

This helped so much. Instead of diodes I ended using one pair of resisters on the back indicators, solved the problem without chopping the wiring loom.

Awesome! I just faced that problem !!! Thank you!

Great sir .. you are the only one, who gives proper solution.

if i skip the whole diode placing and just replace the bulb on the dash with an led (which is technically a diode), would that work? if it would it would be much simpler i guess, nice wellmade and informative video thought.

You legend! Thanks so much, been pulling my hair out with a new to me bike trying to hunt down the mischief! I couldn’t figure it out!

+1 thankyou. I couldn't work out what was wrong until seeing this. Instead of cutting the wires, I just removed the globe on the dash blinker light, and all fixed.

This is awesome, just the video I needed & explained perfectly. I had fitted leds to my yamaha thunderace with an adjustable flasher & led on the dash. I couldn't figure out why one side worked OK but the other side didn't, so I flipped the polarity of the led in the dash & the opposite light worked. Checked the diagram (in the haynes book of lies) & I noticed both positive poles go to the bulb. So I tried a standard bulb & got the same result that you show in your video. Now everything makes sense, Ive just got to sorce the diodes. Thank you 😊 Ps: I also hate hacking up wiring the harness but needs must.

EVEN MORE SIMPLE SOLUTION !!!!!! change the dash bulb for an LED one. available on amazon next day £6 pack of ten. works the same as your diode repair but quicker easier cheaper. done it on mine.

I just tried this and fixed it. Thank a lot 😀 at first i did not want to cut the wires because the bike is under warranty. But it really turned out great

Hi Keith, Thanks for the video mate. Just installed Taco moto USA led blinkers. Had all 4 blinkers flashing together. You saved me from a headache trying to it work out. Your a legend. PJ

Thank you very much! Should be more people like you. All the best!

Great Video ! Just followed this and Bingo ! LEDs all working perfectly now, problem I had was all 4 flashing.

Thanks mate, just saved me hours of frustration 👍

I think your channel is sublime! Since I started watching I’ve now sold my T7 and bought a 2021 exc-f 500! And I am so happy I made the switch!!! Your videos are such a great source of information and tips for my work with transforming the 500 into my unicorn. Do you know what would happen if one simply replaced the bulb with an aftermarket LED one. Would that work too? Probably not, but I thought I could ask anyway! Keep up the great and informative videos. Cheers from Sweden!

Thank Keith just upgraded the husaberg FE501 2013 and the dash light was working intermittently so all flash then normal did my head in, the leds i brought had there own intergrated circuit so only needed 12 volt, thus a bridged the 2 wires to the flasher

Brillant video does only one know what bulbs the tell tell take ?

Hey mate love the content you provide had the chance to get the diodes today soldered up as explainer worked a treat awesome job !!!!!!

worked on my 1995 dr650 se thank you .

Great help! Thank you

Your a genius, stopped me going crazy, thanks.

Worked on my 2007 KLR650. Thanks man!

I have 2023 KTM 450 exc-f but I don't have dash light indicator. I still have the issue of all four led indicators flashing at the same time. how do I connect the diodes in this case?

Thanks Keith, just helped me solve this problem. Awesome channel mate.

knew all that but to ground bulb wire, why did I not think of that! scratched my head all day! ta

Hi and thanks. Is this what your solution is? Do I need to install on all four blinkers?

Awesome video. I followed these steps and indicators worked perfectly, the only thing I’ve noticed is the dash light now does not flash on and off but just stays on until I cancel it. Any thoughts ?

Genius!!!

I followed your instructions but the result on my motorcycle I got one side indicator indicates and other dose not but both side all four are blinking . What did I missed.

Best instructional videos so far 👍

Hey Keith, I have a question. If the dash indicator globe is causing resistance because it is incandescent, then what if you also replace that globe with an LED?? Or do I have the wrong end of the stick?

I did try pulling the buld and that didn't work so on to the diod

Thanky you for this video. It's exactly what I neededt to hear/see.

Thankyou , thankyou ,thankyou great indept video helped me do mine perfectly.

Great video Keith. What size wires are you using to build the harness?

thank you!!!

Just wondering what happens if you replace the bulb with led equivalent?

Thanks a lotI had the problems with the 4 lights like hazard now solv it.

Kieth Duuude , your a Legend , this video saved my Sunday afternoon turning into a tool throwing episode 🫣😂😂 … You help me sort it in 10 minutes … The new led’s are working perfectly now … I enjoy your adventure videos a lot 👍 … Thanks Mate 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you so much. This is very helpful video.

Hi Keith, thanks for the informative video. Thought you may be able to assist. I own a 2009 Triumph Speedy and have replaced all 4 indicatorts with OEM Triumph scroll LED's & changed the relay as advised by Triumph. However, the front indicators only intermittently fail to fully complete a scroll. Any thoughts? Will the diodes remedy the issue? Kind Regards Sal

Smart

If the 4 flash at once problem is caused by single dash indicator light - and does not happen with the 2 dash indicator light models - can I just convert the vintage single dash indicator to a pair of them rather than the diodes to stock dash indicator bulb?

Fantastic worked a treat on my FZR1000 👍

could you not simply replace the dash indicator bulb with an led?

AWESOME bike just got LED turn signals as well!

Thank you 😅 your video saved me a lot of money 💵😉

Cheers Keith you made this too easy.

great video.... I got the blinkers working properly... however, the dash bulb is not working now..... is there an easy fix for that?

Thank you for video Sir Why 2 diot not one? Cheers

Would a led bulb not fix the warning light problem? Or must i use diodes?

how exactly do you get the indicator bulb out of the cluster? i cant figure it out

Sir can we solve this via disconnecting dashboard light ?

Your videos are the best....could you tell me please the rear indicator and where you got them from please from steve Belgrave

All works..but Front runners do not. If I hook up front runners as per specs- then rear turns are Permanente on with rear runners. 2010 Honda Phantom.

Cheers mate. Helpful 👍

Will putting a led flasher instead of the bulb that shows your indicstors indicating fix it?

Excelente you thank you.

Best video ever

Where is from the rear indicator? Do you have link?

Great Video ! Sorry for asking what might seem a silly question - so I only need to put the diodes coming off 1 indicator to stop both sides working simultaneously?

Hi bloke my mistake I went home and tried the indicators and the front globe ones are flashing and doing so fast and the rears not at all...and thanks for your time the other day

Can i buy diodes in any motorshop?

Hi mate can you do a how 2 on your rear number plate holder. I like your slim line indicators the exhaust can melt the rhs one

1N400x 1A not better ?

Hey Keith, what do you reckon if I got led front blinkers blinking and the rear led blinkers are only turning on and not blinking. After some more trouble shooting I plugged in both rear blinkers to test out some theorys and now my 10 amp fuse is blowing when I turn my blinkers on. The indicator bulb is unplugged for now, and all connections are made with the factory KTM plugs. I have a led flasher installed.

Very very helpful

What wire gauge did you use?

When you say globe are you taking about the indicator globe or the dash globe as that wiring diagram as a little confusing without this clarification!

Thanks mate!

Life saver!!! Thank you!

Quick question... would an LED indicator, instead of a regular bulb provide a fix without having to cut up your loom? Genuine question, as my GS500f is doing the same thing.

I am having the opposite problem, 2019 KTM SMCr, I installed Zeta hanguards with LED indicators, and after install they do not light at all. I know the leds work because I can put 12v to them from the battery and they light. Plugging in (I don't like hacking factory plugs either) the old incandescence turn signals, they will work, so I know there is voltage from the bike. My indicator on the dash does work, with incandescent lights, the led lights, or no lights plugged in. The smcr is turn signal only, no running lights. I have the LED flasher relay but no change. I'm stumped.

You saved me, thank you very much 😃

Genius! Thanks Kev~

Hi Keith Thanks for the video .. Could you please tell me which diodes to use as I’m making my own kit ..: Kind Regards Ben

Awesome video!!!

Love your style with the blinkers Keith. Have you had any issues with rego inspection passes?

Hi Keith, for a KTM 501exc or even a Husaberg 570 do you still need to add resistors to the blinkers (front & rear)or do you simply have to add diodes to the blinker dash light to get the leds to work properly? Does the KTM exc range come with led blinkers from the factory to start with?

Another way of doing it is to replace the 2 pin relay with a 3 pin relay and give the circuit a dedicated earth. then each indicator doesn't try to earth though the opposite side.

Gday Keith. Was your flasher a 2 pin?

Does it matter what side you ground out

bought led indicators for my gs500 wired them up and they all flash when i turn left or right, so i take it if i do that for both sides like your video it will work properly ? as in wire in the resisters and ground the earth both sides.. thanks in advance, any help is much apreciated. and great video tutorial.

Thanks for the video. (Low elec. knowledge question coming!!) So, are you just making one of these diode circuits (as per your diagram) for your dash indicator warning light? Not for each of the 4 indicators? My dash one (on Triumph Daytona 1998) has 2 wires coming out of it (happen to be green and green/white) one for left, one for right - so no (normally black) earth? Presumably this circuit won't work on it?

What if instead of using diodes (2 of them) can u use 1 LED which is a diode?

Cant you just replace the indicator light with a LED bulb to reduce the resistance?

I bought led flasher and my blinkers still blink fast help please
