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.

Hi,
this is what I think will be the start of many questions, my bike is an 81 gs750 I am in the middle of putting right. The problem is the right flasher works, lights goes on and off but the left flasher just goes on and stays on both lights front and back come on so I have to push on and off when making a turn. Would it be the flasher unit? or not enough power going to the unit I had to jump start the bike because the battery is in need of changing. Thanks.
Ian
 
i dont think its the flasher unit as this unit works both sets of indicators.
check your earths are ok, also make sure you have the correct bulbs.
best wishes davep
 
82 has a 3 prong flasher so it could be the flasher, go to auto store and get 3 prong flasher
 
If the 82 has a 3 prong flasher I would agree it's the flasher, I had the same problem on my 550, replaced the flasher and it worked better than ever.

Thanks for the input I'll get out at it today or tomorrow and let you know. I get to watch the young lad today so it depends on the length of the nap.

Could also be your switch. Sometimes you can build up gook in between contacts. Some 400 grit sandpaper can take care of that. Just watch for springs and such when you take it apart.
 
Hi,
got to work on the bike on Monday and go for a ride to day, new battery new R/R and guess what the flashers both work go figure? Thanks for the input I will clean up all the contacts and keep making the bike work better. Now on to the front brakes,seat cover new grips new front tire ect......
Ian
 
if you were having charging problems that would most definitely cause your turn flashers to act up. that has always been my way of knowing when my stator, r/r, or battery were going out. plus also make note that if your other lights flash with your turn signals then double check your ground conections. :) :idea:
