Do you have LED turn signals? It looks like its a resistor so the turn signals flash at a normal rate.

Nope I don`t have LED turn signals they are normal with light bulbs in it.
So that means I could take them out ? or should I leave it there ?

That's weird. It's not stock that's for sure. Is there current running through it when the bike is on? Does it make 1/2 of the brake light blink like a turn signal?

It has a blink when I pull the front brake in, it blinks than in stays on, I don`t know what to do with it, and I think it steals power from my battery, not sure.

first up the item is a 17 watt ceramic resistor and not a stock component. From the pictures it only connected at one end. These have a wire at both ends to complete a circuit so this one is not drawing any current. I have no idea why it's there.

In the first picture that one was busted, than my father fixed it, but we don`t know what to do with it, I would really take it down, so the bike would remain kinda stock, at least at the electronic part..

Thanks for the reply`s !Thanks for the Help :cheers: :tks:

In that instance it would be for led lights. If Anything I think it would make your turn lights blink slower, using standard bulbs.

Do a test see what happens when you bypass it.

I will leave it on for a while, or until I need to take off the tail, because it`s a lot to take off. Thank for the replies all of you !
