Re: Motrax Flash-It solid state relay

Ok that does not work either.

Wireing it as mentined above give me a solid non winking light on the indicator.

Anyone got any ideas........ please??? :notworthy:

Re: Motrax Flash-It solid state relay

hi there! Great forum BTW. just bought a sv 650s K5. Changed to led-lights

Just got me a solid state relay, here comes the prolem, The relay has 3 connection points, named 31 49a and 49. The standars relay has, as you know only two connections. Does anybody know how to fix it?

THX

Re: Motrax Flash-It solid state relay

i fixed mine by errrrrr

fitting standard ones on again :(

Din numbers are:
31 = earth, (bat -).
49 = live in (bat +). Orange/green wire on a curvy, brown on a pointy.
49a = live out, (indicator switch). Light blue wire.

So terminal 31 is the odd one out, sometimes a flasher will work without an earth, sometimes it won't. If it doesn't then connect 31 to a frame earth point.

Re: Motrax Flash-It solid state relay

Thx. Will try that tomorrow! I´ll post the result!

Re: Motrax Flash-It solid state relay

Do you have to buy the Motrax relay or is there a cheaper alternative?

Regards

Re: Motrax Flash-It solid state relay

I took a relay that works with cars and bikes, paid about 3 £. Don´t really know where to get it in the UK

Re: Motrax Flash-It solid state relay

Hi!

Worked like a charm! thx!

Re: Motrax Flash-It solid state relay

I got any motrax flasher relay from ebay for about £5 delivered. Think it was from a Yamaha of some description.

There are others on ebay that I'm sure will work as well.

Hi y'all,

Just wanted to post my experience with Motrax "Flash-it" solid state turn signal relays. http://www.motrax.co.uk

I recently replaced all the turn signals on my K6 with LED lamps. I got a blink rate that was darn near an epileptic fit inducing strobe. I tried ballasting down the turn signal circuit and got a fast blink. I didn't care for the idea of installing 20watts worth of ballast resistors in the circuit, so I started looking for a 12volt solid state relay.

Ended up using the "Flash-it" and I'm quite pleased with the results. The blink rate is back to normal without the use of any ballast resistors in the circuit.

They don't make a Suzuki specific relay (with the combined flash relay/sidestand relay/diodes) but installing the universal fit one was pretty easy. I removed terminals F (light blue) and G (brown) from the relay socket on the bike, then soldered the SSR directly to the wires. Black wire from the SSR to the light blue wire in the harness, red wire on the SSR to the brown wire in the harness.

Piece of cake. Normal blink rates, minimal load on the electrical system. :D

Excellent! just fitted one today and it works a treat!:smt038
Thanks for posting the details on which wires to connect to - the relay comes with no instructions at all.
