Agreed. (Assuming the bulbs are low wattage ), it's not because the front and rear are different wattages that causes the problem, it's the fact the wattage is lower than the standard relay is designed for.

I think you have three options:

1. Change the bulbs to 21w (assuming that's OE on your bike)
2. Change the relay. There are adjustable ones available like these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Pin-Spe...id=1488328314& so you could tune the rate to whatever wattage you are running.
3. Fit resistors. (Not really worth considering as either of the first two options should be cheaper/easier)
