Electronic Flasher Relays-Great Price!

[zackattack784]

I have led front turn signals and led pod lights. The pod lights double as running lights (one wire spliced into running light wire, other spliced into turn signal wire). If I add this flasher relay will everything still work correctly?

I just installed that relay on my bike with bulbs up front, leds in back and the OEM bulbs hidden in the fairing by the previous owner and it worked fine. You could run pod lights and body leds all over the bike and that relay would work. It just turns the power on-off. I'd think it would be tough to overload it if I couldn't. I have now removed the OEM bulbs and and added an led license plate light it still works fine. :thumbup:

From what I've heard this works with the OEM flasher but I haven't tested it out myself on either. If the output of the electronic flasher changes state from 12 positive to ground then it will work as a ground path for the LED pod light ans when it goes to it's 12 positive the LED pod will turn off allowing dual function as a directional signal. It may not go fully to 0 volts or ground so the LED pod light may not light as bright as it was designed for. This what I think may happen using it in this configuration.

These should do what you want. Custom LED Blinker Genie Relay - Convert 2 wire LED blinker to 3 wire

I decided to order the relay anyway and for $10 take my chances. Everything works the exact same as it did before I put in the new relay (just slower ). So I'm happy!

Sold. Just purchased one...now I will have have less excited turn signals. Thanks for the thread.

Thanks for this thread! Purchased the electronic relay, simple install. Then I was able to cut my Motodynamic tail light resistor block out of the circuit. Gotta be a slight increase in my 1/4 mile speed by eliminating that hunk of ceramic resistors. :rockon:

Fwiw: unit installed a year ago is still working. No issues.

That's a broken link. Doesn't take me to the relay you're talking about which is about twice the price of the one in the link I've listed at the beginning of this thread.

Yep, but I'm in Canada and with shipping and duties, I went with the other one since it was cheaper in the end and less hassle.

Not sure if anyone reads this string anymore, but wanted to share my current situation. Installed led turn signals in the front and back; had the anticipated hyper blink. Bought and installed the relay. Works perfect at idle, however, at speed (5000 to 7000 rpm) I'm back to hyper flash or no flash (light stays on). Anyone else experience this? User install error?

I got the flasher genie and although the first one was defective, the second one works no problem. What year do you have?

Check your voltage at the battery at that rpm range to be sure you don't have a problem with over voltage because of a bad regulator rectifier. Voltage should not be higher than 14.5 to 14.9 vdc. If voltage at that rpm is good, you may have a defective flasher.unit.

I have a 2005 which I stripped naked. I checked the voltage at the battery between 5000 and 7000 rpm where my issue existed and voltage was good/stable at 14.3 & 14.5.. I emailed the Amazon seller to see if they would replace/exchange. If not I try the superbrightled link in the 1st post.

Cliff....

THANKS! it was a bad flasher.

I know this is quite an old thread, but for the life of me i cannot find the originals relay for the flasher to plug into on my 2007

Any help will be much appreciated

**EDIT**
After further research, I learned some of these bikes have the relay behind the LHS side cover under the seat, as soon as I discovered that, it was easy to identify the correct relay, so my new electronic one is installed, and my Hyperflash is gone

 

[Motogiro]

I've seen it listed elsewhere on the bike but most people have found it in the left front fairing area (If your bike has a fairing). It only has 2 wires going to it. I would imagine a naked bike would not be that far off harness wise. Is your bike manufactured as a naked?

Nah it’s an S, My edit above explains I found the relay under the side guard on the LHS. I found a YouTube clip that showed it there, so I checked mine and bingo, there it was as pictured above.
Thanks for your response though
