Rear LED light bar issue
« on: 24 August 2019, 02:23:03 pm »
Hoping for someone’s help. I have an Integrated LED light bar with indicators. The light works fine when the bike is on tick over what seems to be the issue is after a ride the light bar seems to malfunction (flashes non stop) until I turn off the bike and restart. On my Koso dash I have a  volt meter which reads when riding 14.2 V is this too high? Also if I take the rpm up to around 10k+ the Koso Rev gauge also plays up until I restart the bike. So my question is should the bike when riding generate 14.2v and or is my regulator rectifier faulty. To confirm the bike is full LED conversion and a LED indicator relay installed to eradicate the fast pulse.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

14.2 volts on you dash mounted gauge sounds fine. I think mine shows about 14.5 volts when I've measured it at the battery with a few revs on the engine. The Yamaha manual quotes a no load regulated voltage of 14.1 to 14.9.
I have zero knowledge on LED stuff.

let us know how you get on with the MOT using the lightbar as they are clamping down on the distance between indicators now.

I managed to get it through in April without them mentioning anything, the current light bar I am using converts half of the bar into the indicator as oppose to just the end portions (much safer) but technically I have zero separation between left and right I suppose it is pot luck
