Title: Flasher Relay
Post by Stones on 02/16/10 at 10:06:52

I fitted some mini indicators recently and noticed they didnt blink as easily as the standards, infact had to give the bike some revs to get them going.

I put this down to the bike needing a good run to put some charge back in the battery as i dont get much chance atm to use it.

Anyway today they have given up to ghost ::)

Checked the fuses there fine so i suspect the flasher relay may have been the original problem ?

Hidden under the fuel tank i imagine.

check your grounds.

Yes, flasher under the tank, just in front of the decomp solenoid.

Yup,.. right-side front, under tank... a car flasher relay will work fine (way cheaper),... just take your old one in and match the connections... get an electronic relay if you are going to LED signals...

the stock flasher is a thermal brek type if the load is too great(or bad connection)flash rate is slowed..
if the load is too small(leds)flash rate is too fast..
some yaers ago i got a ticket in my truck while towing a u haul trailer cause my flash rate was too fast(load too low)

i had the same problem! i went to auto store after auto store looking for a match but to no avail lol

the sales guy told me "car parts don't go on bikes"

what a tool, lol get a universal one, put some female connectors on and slap the tank back on!!!!!

don't mistake the starter solenoid for the flasher relay like i did, i looked up the part and it showed me the wrong pic ahahahahaa
