Flasher relay

[nivram]

I have a 2007 Hyosung GT250 I need to replace to stock flasher relay so I can install some LED indicator and get the correct flash rate. The stock flasher on the bike is a 3 pin so I thought I could get purchase a standard 3 PIN electronic load sensing flasher realy I got a Narva one P/No.68213BL.

Installed the Narva flasher and blew my main fuse on the bike several times! the stock relay has 3 PINS L B E the Narva one Has L = Lamps or Indicator Switch, P = Pilot(what ever that is?) X = Battery +

The only way I can the Narva flasher to work without blowing a fuse is to leave one of terminals disconnected the P one which runs to the earth on the bike. What I need to know is, is this correct and why does the stock relay require all 3 terminals connected and new only only require 2 of the 3 terminals connected and will I do any damage having connected this way?

Damn misleading titles! I thought you were organising a running race of the buck naked kind....must be time I popped off to bed

I had issues with the flasher I purchased from the US with my "Clear Alternatives" taillight. I stopped in to see a sparky to get some advice, he took a look and came back with a new relay. A 2-pin Tridon HD12 to replace the 3-pin I had. It's been working great for the last 10 months and cost $15. Supercheap sell them, but they're over $20. I hope that's some help!

Thanks just hooking up the two pins seems to have done the trick, cheers

Hey nivram what 2 pins are you talking about? I'm in the exact same situation as you. Any help would be great cheers

Why didn't you use the stock flasher and add a resistor to the leds?

he probably wants to do it properly.

I would have though just working on a Hyosung would be classed properly though.

P is pilot lamp so you can plug it into a bulb/LED that is earthed and it will flash when either inicators are on.
Should be fine as you are , but I would insulate that P terminal so you dont risk a short and blown fuse.

$32 for resistors vs $15 for a relay.

Piss around with crimps and heat shrink vs plug in.

Don't be daft.

Hey guys

well my situation is a little different from nivrams

the bike CBR400RR-N
I got the bike with an aftermarket electronic flasher relay (3 pin 12v , 210w) X-P-L type pins
I know the original is a 3 pin 12.8v , 18w max for 4bulbs

I'm still on bulbs not LED

Ok so the problem is my bike has 3 wires leading to the relay, only 2 are connected at the moment. If I connect the ground to the relay the fuse blows. My handle brake doesn't trigger the brake light to come on. And turning on the signal while riding/stationary takes a long time for the lights to start blinking but the lights flash at the right speed.

How do i make this setup work.. or is it a waste of time?

Also my mate did give me his old flasher relay (2 pin 12.8v , 21w max for 4 bulbs)
a little higher then the original which makes the lights blink faster. But it's a 2 pin meaning no ground.

how do I make this setup work.. or is this a waste of time?

lastly should I just spend $65 to get an orginal flasher relay from Japan to solve all my problems lol

cheers

hey would you guys know why the flashers would take time to turn on? and start flashing.

Change the fluid inside the relay to something thinner like a 10w/30

ask again in 8 days time.




but srsly. the 2 pin should be fine as the indicators ground out through the other side of the bike... just... make sure your block actually does that shit.

You may have too much load for the relay. It is designed for a lighter load than incandescent bulbs. You could just buy a cheapo two pin relay for supercheese and swap it in.
