Re: problem with flasher relay....
You need a different relay to solve this, simple enough to fit.

Re: problem with flasher relay.
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

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

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

Re: problem with flasher relay.
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 |
