indicators not flashing

[speedaddictedberk]

Hi, i'm re-building my 85 gpz600r, all the electrics etc are in, and it runs, but when you switch on the indicator (either side) they come on but dont flash. i've put a new relay in with no difference. any other ideas?

fuse??

or there wired up wrong?

Check the resistors.

If memory serves they use a fixed resistance to govern the flash rate

fuse??

Surely if it was the fuse they wouldn't come on at all. Didn't they teach you any electronics in primary school?

i thought it was the resistance of the bulbs that did the flash rate (flashes faster when a bulb is out).

too high a load will cause the indicators to stay on for a long time. Have you left them for a while to see if they eventually go out??

about 30 secs, i start getting paranoid about electrical fires when things dont work

You could always flick them on and off manually with your thumb :I can't believe it's not butter!

I think SpeedAddictedBerk has something he'd like to tell you all. Please include time taken to come up with solution. :I can't believe it's not butter!

umm, right, well.....

so Rossi was round before a friday run, and while we were waiting for Zax, i mentioned the Gpz prob, and about 4 seconds later he suggested plugging in the front indicators too

cos i was thinking that they'd flash faster due to the lower load (like car ones do).

bugger.
