BMW S1000RR LED Turn Signal Resistor Fix morsunled.webflow.io
A load resistor is a ceramic power resistor that is wired in parallel with the LED turn signal. By placing a resistor across the circuit, you add resistance back into the path, increasing the total current draw to a level the flasher module recognizes as normal. This restores the correct flash rate and can eliminate the dashboard warning. The resistors are typically rated between 6 and 10 ohms and must be capable of handling the heat generated during operation. They should be mounted to metal surfaces away from plastic fairings and wiring, as they become very hot during prolonged flashing . For the S1000RR, owners have reported success with values around 21.5 ohms, though the exact requirement depends on the specific LED units installed . A common frustration is that resistors may fix the flash speed while the lamp warning remains on, indicating the resistance value is not quite low enough to satisfy the CANbus monitor .
