took the seat off of my bike to remove the battery today - accoridng to the H model manual the relay for the indicators is located between the battery and junction box - but theres nothing there on my bike !

any ideas where it may be its a 1990 model

cheers

switch the indicators on and follow the ticking sound.

i dont have a ticking noise - the relay went on me and just puts the lights on solid now, no flashing or ticking

actually - just a thought - but could the fact that my battery was knackere (putting out about 12.2v) be the reason that the indicators have stopped flashing - and that its not a dodgy relay ?

ordered a new battery last thu and it still hasn''t arrived, despite paying £10 for next day delivery !

well me an baz tried is relay - nowt !

still the same, lights are just on solid, when the indicator goes on

mine was shagged as didnt work on baz's - his spare did - tried it on mine, and although it didnt keep make the indicators flash again it did at least make a click sound / vibrate

they are aftermarket LED indicators - anyone got any ideas ????

I know it was working before hand but as resistors cost pence, it could tun out to be a cheap fix?

All you need to do is add in a resistor or two in series with the LED. Which is basically, disconnect one wire, solder on a resistor to fill the disconnection, and then cover with heat shrink wrap. Baz should be able to help you do that if he's willing.

when i stuck some aftermarket indicators on my zxr i just fitted a universal flasher unit and they worked fine. Had LED's on the front and mini's on the back which got changed to standard TL1000 ones when minis got a lot wet

picked up a cheap generic led 2 pin flasher relay from ebay - worked a treat !

plugged it in, and their all working again.

very odd as for 2/3 months they were just running off of the standard relay
