Load Equalizer
Scotch-Lock™ Connectors
Instruction Sheet
I M P O R TA N T I N F O R M AT I O N
• For use on motorcycles when stock turn signals are replaced by L.E.D. or other low-draw
lights.
• Adds approximately 2 amps of load to the circuit.
WARNING
Load equalizers generate heat when in use. It is imperative that the signals
not be operated for extended period of time (i.e. four-way flashers).
Extended operation will cause the load equalizer to overheat. Aside from
the resultant loss of turn signal function, overheated equalizers pose a fire
hazard.
INTRODUCTION
Turn signal control modules and flasher units require a predetermined amount of load
(resistance) in order to function properly. Often times, when L.E.D. or small incandescent
bulbs are used in place of stock turn signals, the reduction in resistance is enough to render
the turn signal control module or flasher unit inoperative. The purpose of a load equalizer is
to add back some of this lost resistance so the turn signal control module or flasher does not
notice that the stock signals are no longer in place.

PROCEDURE A
Follow this procedure if either of the following statements are true:
• The only modification to the bike is that the stock signals have replaced with low draw
turn signals.
• The bike has had the stock turn signals replaced with low draw turn signals and is
equipped with a multifunction control module manufactured by someone other than
Kuryakyn.
STEP 1 Choose a convenient location to splice the load equalizer into your wiring
harness, normally under the seat or behind a side cover. Once installed, the load equalizer
should be secured to a frame tube or similar structure to help dissipate heat. NEVER secure
a load equalizer to any heat sensitive components.
WARNING
THE LOAD EQUALIZER MUST BE UPSTEAM OF ANY AFTERMARKET
MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL MODULES ALREADY INSTALLED ON THE BIKE.
DO NOT INSTALL A LOAD EQUALIZER BETWEEN A MODULE AND THE TURN
SIGNALS! FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY OVERLOAD THE MODULE RESULTING
IN MODULE DAMAGE AND POSSIBLE FIRE!

STEP 2 The load equalizer has three wires, two violet and one black. Using one of the supplied
connectors, attach the black wire to ground. Using the remaining two connectors, attach one of
the violet wires to the bike’s left turn signal power wire and the other violet wire to the bike’s right
turn signal power wires.
STEP 3 Secure the load equalizer to the frame tube or similar structure. Neatly strap the wires
in place as needed.
PROCEDURE B
Follow this procedure if either of the following statements are true:
• The bike is equipped with a Küryakyn Panacea Taillight system.
• The bike is equipped with a Küryakyn Run-Turn-Brake Controller (P/N 4859, 4860, 4861, 4710)
STEP 1 Locate the Kuryakyn module and remove the existing load equalizer. It is usually
stashed beneath the seat or side cover. In all cases, the existing load equalizer will be attached to
the module by a small, locking, three-pin connector. Depress the latch and unplug the load
equalizer.
STEP 2 Take the existing load equalizer to the workbench and carefully cut back the vinyl
sheathing to expose enough of the wire to make the connections.
STEP 3 Using the Scotch-lock™connectors provided, splice the matching wires from the 4810 to
those of the existing load equalizer. Match violet to violet, violet to violet, and black to black.
STEP 4 Plug the new load equalizer assembly into the module. Secure the load equalizers
separately to a frame tube or similar structure. DO NOT TAPE OR BIND THEM TOGETHER!
Neatly strap the wires in place as needed.
Ride On!
