CANbus Resistance Values

<< < (5/5)

Woof woof!!!
Bow wow.
Thanks.

And us HP2 Dudes prefer to think of it as a "Robust" and "Straightforward" machine rather than "Basic".... 8)

On a related topic, in my quest to complicate my life and spend money on eBay, I added LED bulbs for my tail/brake-light as well as my parking light bulb.
The tail/brake worked out OK: no CANbus reported errors and it works OK.
The LED bulb says "CANbus friendly" so I presume it uses a resistor to make it up to the same resistance as an OEM filament bulb.
The main advantage for me is hopefully not having to change the bulb: is a hassle to get at it with a few mods I've done.

The parking light LED swap was very strange though.
It works, and no GS-911 reported errors, however when you turn off the ignition the bulb stays on.
Not full brightness, but still on.
Took the key out too.
For HOURS too.....hmmmm.....
I swapped it back for the standard OEM filament bulb and it behaves as it's supposed to: turns off when ignition off.

i had ordered a 2nd type from eBay and I tried that one: is a bit more complicated than the 1rst one.
And THAT one works OK: goes off when supposed to and no GS-911 errors.
Brighter than OEM bulb too.
Hmmm......

So I think what happens is that the ZFE has a bit of leakage to the bulb: enough to light the LED slightly.
However why doesn't that drain your bike when the OEM standard filament bulb is in??
Is there a solid state switch in the ZFE that is not being turned off with the 1rst LED I used but IS turned off with the OEM bulb as well as the 2nd LED light?

Very strange
