Insert the new turn signal through the hole of the mount provided.
Push the spring washer over the thread, then screw the hex
nut onto the thread. Tighten the turn signal's hex nut with a
combination wrench (size 14 for M10 thread, size 12 for M8
thread), but without overtightening; the maximum torque of 6 Nm
must not be exceeded. Exceeding the maximum torque can cause
damage to the thread.
In order to mount the turn signals in a wider position where
necessary, appropriate extensions (optional) can be installed.
Ensure that your turn signals are installed in a clearly visible
position and are not obscured by other parts such as luggage
racks, bags or saddlebags.
Removal of the original turn signals often leaves large openings
in the vehicle's fairing, depending on the model, which are not
completely covered by the new turn signals. In this case, check
whether model-specific turn signal mount covers (optional) are
available for your motorcycle so that the problem can be solved in a
visually appealing way.

4.4 | Electrical connection

First, connect the supply cables of the original brake and tail light
to the appropriately marked supply cables of the new turn signals
with integrated brake and tail light using the Japanese connector
or with small soldered joints, which you insulate with heat shrink
tubing (push on the heat shrink tubing then solder the cable, pull
the heat shrink tubing over the soldered joint and shrink to fit with
a cigarette lighter).
The positive cable of the original brake light is joined with the
two supply cables for the brake light function of the turn signal
combinations. The positive cable of the original brake light is joined
with the two supply cables for the brake light function of the turn
signal combinations. The original ground cable is then joined with
the two ground supply cables of the turn signal combinations.
To connect the turn signal function, the respective positive cable for
the left or right turn signal circuit is then joined with the respective
supply cables of the turn signal combination. The ground cable
does not have to be connected as the ground of the brake and rear
light assumes this function. However, the redundant cable has to
22
be carefully insulated.
Ensure that the cables are connected correctly and in a short-
circuit-proof manner, do not confuse positive and negative or the left
and right turn signals, and under no circumstances should you use
terminal blocks for the connection. After connecting, it is imperative
to check that the electrical system is functioning correctly before
you set off.
The flashing frequency (speed) is set at 90 +/- 30 cycles per
minute. This means that the turn signals must flash between 60
and 120 times each minute.
If turn signals are installed which have a lower total wattage
than the originals, this normally results in a flashing
frequency which is too high or the turn signal stopping
completely. The correct flashing frequency must then be established
using an appropriate flasher relay or resistors (which simulate the
missing wattage).
Various universal flashers, vehicle-specific flashers and resistors in
different sizes are available as accessories.
The use of resistors is particularly recommended if your vehicle
has a combined relay unit which cannot be replaced (in this case,
it will usually have more than three cable connections) or if the
turn signals are controlled by the motorcycle's trip computer.
The resistors need to be installed in the right and left turn signal
circuits in parallel connection. They can be positioned directly
before the turn signals or in a different position within the right or
left turn signal circuit (either at the front or the rear).
The required resistance can be determined using the following
formula:
The required resistance R (in ohms) is equal to the square of the
electrical system voltage (6/12 volts) divided by the watt difference
between the old and the new turn signals.
The original wattage can be found either on the original bulb itself,
in the vehicle handbook or on the turn signal lens.
Example: A 7.5 ohm resistor simulates 19.2 watts, an 8.2 ohm
