83-750 t signal relay

[Guest]

will any 12v 3 prong relay work? my bike had a 2 prong someone put in it ,no it didnt work
also, on this model, will the lights stay on and flash, or be off ,but flash? when key is on ,the book says nothing about it
some old bikes i had some stayed on like running lights
i had power to the rear but wouldnt flash, "2 pronger" changed to a 3, now nothing,checked fuses,there ok, i had all hooked up and grounded like book shows, i wanted to be legal at night but i am not fighting with it ill rip them off it and ride with out like always did, if i cant get it fixed


thnxs for any input

Hi,

Are you using all stock incandescent bulbs in the blinkers?

Do your front blinkers have dual or single filament bulbs? (Note: dual filament bulbs are used for running lights plus blinkers.)


Thank you for your indulgence,

Hi,

If they are dual filament then the blinker lead will connect from the flasher and the running light lead will connect to the brown wire in the headlight bucket.

The stock blinker setup wants to "see" a predetermined load for the stock flasher to work. Since you've changed out both (bulbs and flasher) you will have to do some trial-and-error experimentation. Have a look at this recent thread and see if it helps.

i have regular small signals , not led, i didnt want led, so they should work as standard signals i believe, the f'rs, the rear were on with the 2 pron relay, i hooked up the front, changed relay, the relay clicks on as normal, but no power now lol, and the dash lights no power now!, but there is power to the relay, but no where else, so i unhooked them all and will go through again

i was wondering mostly about the 12v auto relay working on a bike, as the bike relay is to pricy for me! it is ridicules ,and the jap bikes i have had in the past were stupid, if one bulb was blown they didnt work, or if one was unhooked they didnt work,cause it needed a complete circuit

USA- safety feature- all work until blown or unhooked- someone pass this to those a$sholes in japan would ya
