Question about rizoma led resistors r they only to slow the flash rate down bought a set and they come with 2 resistors per blinker. Directions r vague.
Thanks

One may be a voltage reducer, the other a resistive load.  Your LEDs may not run at 12V and if so, you MUST use the VR or you will break the LED.  Your LEDs load your blinker less, and you may or may not need the load, depending on your blinker and whether you are using lamps at the other end of the bike.  Not familiar with your product, are they identical?

Yes they r the same both measure 10 ohms each what I can make out from the wiring diagram I would use both in parallel if needed. It says 1 10 ohm resistor for a 10 watt bulb and 2 resistors for a 21 watt bulb. I know I kind of answered my own question trying no to mess up a $40 indicator.
Thanks

My owners manual for my monster says the oem bulbs r 10 watt would mean 1 resistor. What do u guys think.
Thanks
