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!

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!

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.

Then the dash would only light for one direction. the way this system is wired each positive lead off the bulb is connector to a terminal of the dash bulb. when you indicate left the original filament bulbs will send power to one terminal of the dash bulb and it will light up, the other terminal of the bulb is earthing through the right indicator. when you indicate right the left is being used as the earth.. Filament bulbs will light with reversed polarity, leds dont.

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.
