4. Setup and Installation
The following steps outline the general installation process. Specific wiring details may vary based on your motorcycle's configuration. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for detailed wiring diagrams if necessary.
- Preparation: Ensure the motorcycle is off and the battery is disconnected. Clean the area around the factory saddlebag reflectors with warm soapy water and then with the provided alcohol pads.
- Remove Factory Reflectors: Carefully remove the existing reflectors from the saddlebags. This may involve prying them gently or removing fasteners from the inside of the saddlebag.
- Position Omni LED Inserts: Test fit the Omni LED inserts into the reflector openings. Ensure they sit flush and align correctly.
- Wiring Access: Determine the best route for the wiring from the inserts to the motorcycle's existing wiring harness for run, brake, and turn signals. This may require drilling a small hole in the saddlebag for wire pass-through, if not already present. Use a center punch before drilling to prevent slippage.
- Electrical Connections: Connect the wires from the Omni LED inserts to the appropriate run, brake, and turn signal wires on your motorcycle. It is recommended to use proper electrical connectors (not included) for secure and weather-resistant connections. Refer to your motorcycle's wiring diagram for correct wire identification.
- Secure Inserts: Once wiring is complete and tested, secure the Omni LED inserts in place using the provided M5 x .8 flange lock nuts. Apply blue Loctite to the threads for added security.
- Wire Management: Use the provided cable ties and cord keepers to neatly route and secure all wiring, preventing chafing or interference with moving parts.
- Final Test: Reconnect the battery. Turn on the motorcycle's ignition and test all lighting functions: running lights, brake lights, and turn signals. Ensure all LEDs illuminate correctly and respond as expected.

The Kuryakyn Omni LED Run/Turn/Brake Side Saddlebag Inserts operate automatically in conjunction with your motorcycle's existing lighting system. There are no user-adjustable controls for these inserts.
- Running Lights: When the motorcycle's ignition is on and headlights are activated, the inserts will illuminate with a constant red light, enhancing rear visibility.
- Brake Lights: When the brake lever or pedal is applied, the inserts will illuminate brighter red, signaling braking action.
- Turn Signals: When the turn signal is activated, the corresponding insert will flash amber, indicating a directional change.
6. Maintenance
These LED inserts require minimal maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Cleaning: Clean the lenses periodically with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the polycarbonate lens.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the wiring and connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Ensure all mounting hardware remains secure.
- LED Longevity: LED lights are designed for long operational life and typically do not require replacement under normal use.
7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Omni LED inserts, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:
- Lights Not Functioning:
- Check all electrical connections for looseness or corrosion.
- Verify that the motorcycle's battery is fully charged and properly connected.
- Inspect the wiring for any cuts, pinches, or damage.
- Ensure the correct wires are connected to the motorcycle's run, brake, and turn signal circuits.
- Intermittent Function:
- This often indicates a loose or corroded connection. Re-check all wiring points.
- Ensure proper grounding.
- Incorrect Light Color/Function:
- Double-check that the wires are connected to the correct corresponding functions (e.g., brake wire to brake signal, turn signal wire to turn signal).
If problems persist after performing these checks, contact Kuryakyn customer support or a certified motorcycle technician.
