I just installed the BadWinners Dash on my 2018 (US) Vitpilen 701, but that has caused my turn signals to stop working. Instead of flashing, they just stay on (flashing super fast maybe)? I have the New Rage cycles fender eliminator/turn signal kit, which I had to install a resister to fix that "hyperflash" issue for. Did anyone else have this same issue? Do I need to install another resistor? Is there space for another one, or do I need to install a larger resistor?
 
I don't know about your particular issue. But resistors add heat and waste watts. A led flasher relay such as a elfr-1 is plug and play works great. And eliminates resistors . Mabey the stock dash had more resistance in the indicator lamp or mabey your resistor failed. But most people such as I changed the relay.
 
Offtopic:
I had two ELFR-1 and tbh, didn't work as advertized (when the revs go up the flashing becomes faster).

Replaced it with one from TST Industries, which works perfect.

At OP, if you put the stock dash back on they work again?
 
Mabey it depends on signals itself. However I've used the elfr-1 on 4 different bikes. With different types of LEDs Works fine.
 
To clarify, by resister, I meant I have an elfr-1. I haven't tried putting the stock dash back in, but it was working without issue when I removed it. Maxkool, do you have the bad winners dash with your TST flasher relay?
 
I don't believe Max has the dash. Are all 4 signals flashing fast or just the rear. Also when you installed elfr did you flip the wires
 
I'll double check tomorrow, but I noticed the front one was not flashing (just constant on) when I was riding since I can see that one. On the dash, the arrow symbol didn't flash, and was constant on so I assume the rear is also constant on. the ELFR + New Rage Cycles fender eliminator/tail light works fine so I assume I installed all of that correctly.
