I have an 83 Suzuki GN250 that needs a new WOF. I went for it last week but it failed miserably. After replacing both tyres, turning the head light upside down and replacing a front axel bolt I am still having troubles with the indicators!!!
When the bike is cold and not started it works okay for a while. Then when I start it, it starts to flicker slower. Then it just stalls and stays on. The left side is also better than the right side. (Reason the one side has 21w globes and the other has 23w globes). Also if I rev it a bit it starts flickering sort off…. The voltages at the battery while rev’ed a bit is about 14.5v. (I don’t think it’s the charging, it’s more like the vibrations that’s making the flicker tick… LOL)
What voltage should the indicator globes be?
Should I replace the Flasher unit or can I test it in a way?
Sorry, I wanted to get the work-shop manual from the library but it’s out at the moment.
Thanks. This is a really kick-ass site!!!:rockon:
