sv650 2018 indicator problem - SV650.org

Bought this bike with a tail tidy which I didn't like, so I've gone back to the original rear end which came without indicators. I couldn't track down any oe indicators so bought a couple of late bandit units. Now they work but flash too fast. Anyone had a similar problem?

Hyperflash. You need different relays for them. Sometimes you can by inline resistors.

Are the front indicators standard - or has someone fitted LED bulbs? Similarly, the Bandit rear indicators - incandescent or LED bulbs? The stock 2018 SV indicator relay doesn't support LED bulbs (but you can get one that will). You should have 21W incandescent bulbs front and rear (on each side) as standard.

There's a couple of options to get them running correctly,

Thanks for your message. I think I've identified the problem the front bulbs are 21w but the new indicators I have put on the rear have 10w bulbs
