Blinker speed depends on rpm?

[Bill Alexander]

Still not sure where to connect in the black wire. The orange wire goes up to my ignition. The break light switch is right by the black wire. Do I cut the orange wire and put the black wire inbetween the fuse box and ignition? So the wire would be orange out of the fuse box then the black wire from the R/R and then the orange wire again going back up to the ignition? If so what does the break light have to do with the setup? Or, do I connect the black wires connectors on the end of the orange/green wire that goes to the brake switch?

The black wire just needs to be connected in to the +ve circuit somewhere so as to read the voltage and control the R/R. I removed the fuse box and soldered an extra wire coming from one of the fuses and then connected the black wire to that with a spade connector (could have soldered the black directly but wanted to make it easier if I ever need to change the R/R again.) I felt this was a bit tidier than splicing into the brake light wire.

Go over to the rear brake light switch and tap into the orange wire there. Then power the switch with the other end and your set. Check the rear brake light for operation when you are done.

Hooked it up to the brake switch, I assume it doesn't matter which way the connectors are connected? I added an after market brake switch so not the original connectors.

The R/R fixed the over charging problem. At 4000 RPM the voltage was 13.4ish. Unfortunetaly, the blinker speed is still fjollowing RPM speed.

I have a few guesses, going to go over the grounds again. I am wondering if it fried the flasher, it is an after market flasher. What do the pros think?

I would not call that fixed, you are close to 1 volt under charging. You want to be above 14.0 at 5K RPM.

I thought for sure there would be blinker fluid comments in this thread.

Nah, everyone knows to change it during your first oil change of the spring. Along with exchanging the winter air for summer air in your tires

You mean I was supposed to change the air too? I guess that was my problem yesterday Tkent.

Blinker fluid did it again. I didn't change air since the tires are new and there really isn't a winter here. With year round riding, air hasn't been a problem, just gas.
