hey everyone,
graet day yesterday i finally had my sv650s k6 de-restricted and fitted my new tail tidy and integrated tail light, but there is one problem...
as i switch on the indicators ive realised they are flashing to fast does anyone know what relay i might need or if there is a simple solution to this????
cheers in advance

Have the same problem...SV650s 1999.Real idicators are stock,front indicators are Valter Moto.I will ask a mechanic and will let know,plese do the same if you find out

buy a larger flasher relay that should slow them down

You need a different relay to solve this, simple enough to fit.
you can add resistors to the wiring where the after-market indicators are as if they use LEDs rather than filiment bulbs they have less resistance. The flasher relay in there as standard uses a charging / discharging circuit to do the timing, so adding resistance slows the cycle back down again.
Or you've got a bulb blown and not thought to look at the other end of the bike :D

but does anyone know where i can get a high voltage one??
thanks

The bike's electrics are 12V so that's what the flasher unit provides. I'm not sure you'd need more than 12V....

Voltage has nothing to do with it. Its the current.
Just fit resisters across the indicators or fit a LED flasher relay.:D

yeah sry its cause on me rs when i fitted the indi's i changed the relay for a "bigger" one and it sorted out the problem,
but i cant seem to find a relay for the suzuki only universal ones which arnt the same connector anyway, and i dont fancy paying for a resistor at ?6 each
anybody no where i can get one from
thanks phil

?6 ?
You're being bummed there.
As for standard connector, it's only 2 or 3 wires to put spade connectors on.
