A caution on LED lighting- RZ350
Recently I have been upgrading my three motorcycles with the lighting from quartz halogen to LEDs. On the RZ350, I will caution those of you doing this with the instrument lighting as the light over the low oil level in the injection tank will always be illuminated IF you put the LED bulb there. You must put in the quartz halogen back in for that one bulb position and the oil level bulb will function as intended. I also found those trick LED strobe tail light bulbs that Russ from Detroit has been using. Some may think it’s annoying but I think it is a safety bonus to cagers behind you. Hope this tip helps someone out..

Got a link Evans?
I have Motodynamic integrated tail lights on the R1 and RZV500 (with R6 body work). They flash before staying on. Great safety feature IMO.
Thanks for the tip on the low oil level dash light. Must need the resistance of the incandescent bulb, eh? Like when you install led turn signal lamps. They won't blink until you install a solid state flasher.

I think some of those systems like the oil, earth through the bulb and the LED doesnt work the same way?
