Hello There

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by Ravenscry, Jun 12, 2016.

  1. I'm a Monster 821 owner in desperate need for the fitting instructions for the Ducati Performance tail tidy/plate holder part number 97380141B. I have pretty much assembled the whole thing ! But I have also added the LED indicators and I'm struggling with wiring it all up. Hence i'm on the prowl for a PDF detailing how it's done. If there is anybody out there that could kindly help it would be very much appreciated.

  2. Can't help at all but welcome anyway Dave :)
     
  3. Post in the relevant section, most people don't come here to welcome new forum members as they can't be arsed, we do have a moderator who would have moved your post back to here - but he's just silly :D
    and........Welcome :upyeah:
     
  4. Thanks for the heads up Exige. I'm new to all this forum stuff sure i will get to grips soon enough.

    Out of curiosity, do you own an Exige ? I only ask has I owned one back in 2006.
     
  5. Yes, but the proper one ;)
     
  6. It's probably yellow, so take no notice.

  8. Welcome Jay,

    LED's offer no (or very little) resistance load to the electronics on the bike, so typically they make the indicators flash really fast, similar to when a bulb fails on the old system.
    Just to confuse matters, some bikes have LED's at the front or back and then normal bulbs at the other end.

    To make an LED act like a bulb you place a large wattage ballast resistor across the LED, so one end to RED and one end to Black ....ACROSS the LED and not in series like a train.
    These ballast resistors may be in black plastic tube so you can see them others look like little car amplifiers.

    Sorry if this sounds condescending, but I've no idea how much you know about electricity.

    Does that help?
    If yes, give it a useful rating in the bottom left.
    I'm sure others will be childish (i expect / want this) and NUke me.
