    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.

Turn signal flasher

On my 81 GS 850G the turn signals will not flash. They come on, but won't cycle. I've tried replacing the relay, and the relay box, but no change. With the turn signal on, if you tap the side of the relay, it will flash one time. The voltage coming in to the relay is about 10.4 volts. Any ideas? Thanks, tommyturbo2
 
#1) Check and clean every ground. This will cause blinker problems and even if not the cause it's a part of maintenance and costs $0.

#2) On my bike if one bulb was out or the fronts were disconnected the rear blinkers would just light up. Just a thought.


However, it sounds like your relay might be ALMOST able to click over on it's own since you can tap it to get it to open/close. I'd bet you've got a simple grounding issue.
 
Get your voltage up over 12 and try again.

What did you replace your flasher with? If you went to Auto Zone (or similar) and got a flasher, it will never work.
