The adjustable flasher unit just arrived, works well, just had to swap the pos and neg over in the loom plug to suit it but other than that plug and play, thanks for the advice, cheers Mark

Surely the simplest route is to get all the bulbs (lamps) at the correct wattage which for a 900 carbie I think is 21w. Adding other relays or messing about with wiring just generates the possibility of another failure mode.

I've been reading this thread with interest.I changed my standard indicators a while back with a set of bike-it mini arrow ones never thought of the bulb watts ....anyway they work perfectly so i checked today & the originals were 10w & the arrow ones are 23w surely they should be very slow to flash ?? there's no indicator relay & i think they use the ecu/dash ?? i'd really like to fit led's but i'm sure that would mess things up i did wonder as there's no relay that they adapt to the bulb wattage ?? any ideas ??

I might be wrong but i think the S2R 1000 has the same Marelli ECU as my S4 so should have a relay for indicators?

Just my thoughts but if i were going to the trouble of replacing indicators then i would go the LED route and be done with it. Im happy enough with the standard ones anyway so it would be a bulb swap only. There are a couple of electrical issues i would sort before that: starter leads and alternator wiring both of which are inadequate and alternator wires are prone to burn out. If they havn't already then they will and take the reg rec out too which also could do with an upgrade.

There's no dedicated flasher relay and the wiring leads into the dash so it seems likely that the indicators are governed by the dash or ECU. I've still got one of the spare mini bulbs that came with the flashers and, although it's only 4W (!), the indicators still flashed at the correct rate. |
