AR - riding lights resistor

Post by admin »

I took my AR for an MOT again today and yet again my tester did advise that technically the AR should fail because of the riding lights being on.
Obvious solution would be to remove the indicators i know, but i wondered if there was a way to resist out the riding lights so the indicators worked as normal.
On my NSR250 it's simply one of the wires needs pulling to each front indicator, not so simple on the AR though

Has anyone looked at this or thought the same ?

Paul, I vaguely recollect in the past this has come up, and some bright spark fabricated just such a gizmo.

Hello Mike, cheers for the reply, your right i too recall something similar.
My skills with wiring is pretty limited and basic.
I do actually have a guy on 400greybike who is an auto electrtician, i may just fire this over his bow.

Anyone have a decent quality zoom in image of the indicator section of the AR loom ?

I'm sure this has been done but I wouldn't hazard a guess as to where the posts are :? .

:lol:




actually it was indicated to me :D on my hornet that I should change the Flasher unit if i wanted to get the front indicators permanently on ( they were until I had a smash which damaged the french unit - so I was disappointed when it was replaced and they werent on anymore..)

only my fronts light up while running so maybe they can be disconnected and spliced in with the rears?

Hello Greg, welcome to my part of the web ;-)
I did think of this, but its finding where to splice without running whopping lengths of wiring back up the loom.

Anyway like i said on PB, nice purchase you made there pal.
