    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Blinker not Blinking

Finnaly went through the rats nest of wires in my headlamp bucket and found the blinker wires and headlamp wires. Hooked everything up and everything turns on when it's supposed to but none of the blinkers blink. Anyone know why this might be?

Probably just a bad flasher. Go to any auto parts store and pick up one of the small aluminum flashers for a car for $3-4. They work just fine.

Where is this flasher on the motorcycle? I don't have any schematics or owners manual
 
On mine it's under the right side cover. If yours is stock it will probably be a small, square, black one. Usually down around the battery somewhere. Just see if it's two or three pin before you buy a replacement.
 
Billy, by replacing the stock flasher, I assume it's possible to get one that makes my signals go faster? I hate the delay in them actually starting to flash... a lot of times, by the time the first flash happens, I'm already in the other lane. ;-)

Maybe one of the more expensive ones people use for LED signals. The speed they flash at is somewhat dependant on voltage.
 
I was just in autozone the other day getting a flasher for a buddy of mine. They had 3 standard type non-electronic flashers. The smallest one is rated for a total of 6 bulbs max......it will flash the fastest. The next size up was rated for 8 bulbs max....it will flash a bit slower.... The flash rate is determined by the load on the flasher along with the flasher rating itself.

I replaced my stock little black box flasher with one of the small round flashers and it works just dandy.
