How to wire in resistors
For the moment my bike does not have front turn signals, and because of that, my alarm doesnt function properly. I plan to install a 10w/10ohm resistor in place of the signals but im not exactly sure the best way to do it. I have the wiring and plug for the signals. Can I just tie the blue and purple wires together with the resistor to simulate a bulb? What needs to be done to the ground wire?

The blue wire is not part of the turn signal circuit.
Blue is the running light circuit that powers the headlight, front running lights and tail light.

Yea what Dan said.
The violot is for the turn the black is ground, put the resistor between these two.
On the other side the tirn wire is brown..

Keep in mind, this resistor will get hot. keep it away from other wires.
