Homologation and certification
This product is certified compliant. To know whether a product is certified compliant, just check for the presence of the letter E immediately followed by a number enclosed in a circle.
What are the electrical specifications?
Position light 12 V / 0.9W - Turn signal light 12 V / 1.4 W
Which lighting technology is used?
SMD LED Technology (Surface-Mounted-Device).
What advantages are there to fitting SMD LED indicators?
Compared to normal bulbs, LEDs last longer, are brighter and take up less space.
Are resistors included in the package?
Yes, 2 resistors are included with each individual tunr signal (10 W / 15 Ω ea.)
What is the significance of fitting indicators in either series or parallel?
An 'in series' connection is when two or more components are connected so that they make up a single route for the electrical current to pass through; if the components have two poles (i.e. are bi-polar), an 'in series' connection requires that one end of each component is connected only to one end of another, with the current flowing in through the free terminal on the first bi-polar component and out through the free terminal on the last bi-polar component. (see diagram 2 in the assembly instructions) - An 'in parallel' connection, on the other hand, is when the components are connected to a pair of conductors so that the electrical voltage is applied equally to all of the components. To understand this better, here's an example with two people: two people are standing between two ropes which are stretched out and parallel to each other. Each of the two people is holding one of the ropes in each hand so that both are holding the same rope with the right hand and the same rope with the left hand.
(see diagram 3 assembly instructions)
I only fitted 2 Rizoma turn signals on my motorcycle but they don't flash correctly. How do I fix this problem?
On motorcycles tested by our R&D department, we always fit four turn signals (where possible). We recommend that you seek advice from a specialist workshop or use resistors to adjust the current.
My motorcycle is fitted with LED turn signals as standard. Do I need to use resistors when fitting Rizoma turn signals?
No, these are not generally used.
