Turn signals for motorcycles

Turning signals for motorcycle inform other road users about an upcoming turn to the right or left. The presence of these devices and their correct operation are mandatory requirements for a motorcycle driver when going out on the road. Failure to use such devices can lead not only to fines but also to tragic consequences.

General information

Nowadays, LED turn signal for motorcycle is mainly used. This type of turn signal has a longer service life due to its resistance to vibrations, shocks, and unstable operation of the electronics.

Moreover, LED motorcycle turning signals are characterized by low power consumption, which helps to save battery power. Also, their activation occurs much faster than halogen lamps, so their timely activation is essential in specific situations. LED turn signals for motorcycles allow other drivers to see their movement even in thick fog and poor visibility (for example, during heavy rain).

Types of turn signals

The design of such devices can have any geometric shape and be round, square, or oval. Depending on the type of fastening of the structure, the turn signal for motorcycles can be:

●     rigid, have good resistance to mechanical stress;

●     soft, with flexible fastenings that provide resistance to vibrations.

LED turn signal lights for motorcycle are slightly more expensive than their counterparts, but their excellent performance characteristics fully compensate for this, so they will rarely need to be replaced.

Principles for installing turn signals

Sets of turn signals for motorcycles are installed according to location: 2 pieces for the front and 2 for the rear.

A turn signal light for motorcycle is installed according to specific rules – maintaining the distance between the signals. For motorcycles without a sidecar, this distance is more than 150 mm, and with a sidecar, it is more than 600 mm. The steering signal of a motorcycle must have a length of more than 500mm. Universal motorcycle turn signal at the rear and front must be installed symmetrically to the axis in the same plane.

In addition, the motorcycle turn signal lights must be placed at the same height from the ground: 400...1300 mm – from the front turn signals to the ground and 400...1000 mm – from the rear turn signals to the bottom.
