Another LED indicator issue (Motobitz Indicators & Evoluzione Integrator)

[Rick T Reloaded]

I just installed the front LED indicators from Motobitz (great product) today. I also have the Evoluzione rear integrator kit. Upon installation, the Motobitz indicators did flash but quite slowly and the tail indicators (Evo) blinked alternately - left, right, left, right (and very slowly). If I grabbed the brakes however, the taillights would work correctly (brake light on with the correct side blinking - as designed). Doing a search, I found the following:

However, I'm still not clear if the 10 ohm/10 watt Radio Shack resistor or an auto flasher from a local AutoZone is what I need to make my Motobitz/Evoluzione setup work.

Anyone with this identical setup and the right solution? Any and all you help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance...

Anyone with the same setup...? Your input is greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem with the motobiz signals. I ended up putting Incandescent fron turnsignal with LED rear lights and it works fine. I think it has to do with the resistor. Also make sure you have a flasher unit that will work with no-load. Alhoughther. it did not work with the no-load flasher either. I am sure if you play with different resistors it will work.

Thanks crea...

I will try some Radio Shack resistors as recommended on the link in my original post - 10ohm/10 watt resistors...

Hope it works - damn Italian electronics... haha!!

Rick T,

You'll find the resistor is just the ticket. 8 ohm/10w is all that's necessary, but Radio Shack only had the 10ohm/10w when I purchased them. I have Shock Racing front LED's, which are designed for 23w systems, but not enough load to operated even an electronic flasher unit. One resistor each side, and voila. Do a search and you'll see the results. I got the idea from Stoneflyllama.

To make the Motobitz front indicators work WITH the Evo Tail Integrator you will need the following:

1. Radio Shack p/n is 271-120. 8ohm/20W resistor.
2. Remove resistors that came with the Motobitz indicators.
3. Wire Radio Shack resistor (one per indicator) in PARALLEL.
4. Soder and heat shrink
5. VOILA!!
6. Note: I sodered a loose (unconnected) yellow/green wire in the rear taillight to the wires connected to the bottom of the left/rear bulb. Without doing this, the system would not work properly.

I can take pics later on to illustrate.

Anyhow, thanks guys... Your feedback was what I needed to make it work.

Thanks, glad it worked. I'll do the same.
