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

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.
