2012 250r turn signal problems

373 Views 8 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Brandon CR
Hi everyone, I've installed an aftermarket integrated turn signal led headlight on my 2012 cbr250r

Everything is wired up and works great(Minus the DRLs because the bike didn't come equip with a seperate wire for it)
But my turn signals are being very odd, they work perfectly fine sometimes but the the hyperflash issue that I'll solve later, but sometimes both turn signals flash at the same time no matter which way I signal to turn. I thought that it could be an issue where I would need a diode kit, but the bike has 2 seperate indicators on my "dash" for the turn signals.
Any ideas? Thanks

Update, turn signals only flash at the same time when bike is started

The headlight looks very nice, tell us if the light beam is good as well. In Israel, the standard requires for turn-signal distance is at about 40 centimeters between the two turn-signal.

To your question:
1.
I suggest that you to arrange the issue of hyperflash first, connect an electric resistor in a parallel connection (see further explanation here LINK).
2. LEDs draw little current, so they may be operating from induced current created when one wire is close to or wrapped around the other wire. I think that an electric resistor reduces the above phenomenon. But I am not sure.

Thank you, that seems like a good idea to start with.
The headlight I am using has a common ground for all of the led lights (brights, low beam and turn signal) and then one other wire for each turn signal, should I attach the resistors to the one wire off the turn signal and then the common ground?
And so far the light beam is working great :)

Yes. So is the original harness (common ground).

Yes. But...
When you do a modification there are many ways to do it, some of them may cause serious problems in the electrical system. You need to find a place for the electrical resistor, and this place should also allow it to diffusion heat effectively(it's a quite big resistor)...so what is the best place for it?

By the way, there is another way instead of the electronic resistor. It is possible to change the turn-signal-relay to an electronic relay. I have no experience with this component, but it is an option you can consider.
I experienced an issue of hyperflashing for years because I didnt want to install resistors that are hot on the bike.
Yesterday fixed it, at almost no cost for me.

The relay for turn signals is designed to work with bulb lights that consume more electricity than LED`s, when you put LED`s the relay detects less energy being use and blinks faster to let you know a bulb is burned.

The solution for me was easy, I took a relay from a Honda CB190r that comes already with LED`s and put it on mine, and problem fixed.
You dont necessary need to get that one, you can buy an aftermarket for cheap, it needs to come with 3 lines.


To replace just check under the headlight for a connector that slides out from the frame, easy, no need to unscrew anything.

Costa Rica is in the center of the American continent, and you have the model of the winker relay with the 3 pin.
In the United States and Canada CBR250R is sold with the 9 pin. - LINK
Your solution is excellent(y)(y) (y)

I checked and found a similar relay in the Honda Monkey 125 and Honda SUPER Cub C125 NEW models,
Part No': 38301-KZZ-J01
I don't know to say if it's the same 3Pin connector as ours, but I think it is.

I didnt know, this is how the connector my bike use looks.
