Indicator flasher gremlins (511)

I noticed the blinkers on my 511 stopped working the other day, I found a spare flasher relay in a box of bits I have lying around (off an SMR 449). Swapped the flasher over and gave it a test (worked ok), put the bike away for the night.

Now when I got the bike out this morning and started it up, rode to the end of the driveway and flicked the blinkers.... nothing The 10A fuse is still in tact, speedo works, horn, headlight (+HBeam) are working fine, bike runs fine otherwise (did my usual 100km weekend loop).

Any ideas on how to see if the flasher is still good or alternatively any other wiring/electrical things I should check? I've ordered a couple of parts from Sicass and added a flasher to that order, just hoping it's shoddy flashers and not something more serious :P

Well there's my problem....



Time to find a spade terminal that'll fit that connector, if not off with it's head.... and on with generic spade connectors.

blinkers just failed on my 449, where exactly is the connection that failed on yours ?

Where the flasher relay plugs in.

Mine broke at exactly the same place. Bodged mine with a small nail and some electrical tape

I bought 100 spade terminals off ebay for $4, should be right for a while now...

Wheres the flasher relay.....under the seat......???

Behind the headlight.

Recently bought a 2012 te 449 that had the indicators taken off. I need them back on for the safety. I’m not getting power to any of the indicators. I saw a post showing a broken connector with wires like in my pic (the green and blue). This was cut off and bare behind the light. 12V on the green. Is this needed for the indicator circuit? I can see any other connectors not being used that would mate with those two wires if they were on a connector.

Well I just went for it and twisted that pair together. And we have indicators! But not flashing, they stay on solid. Does this mean I need a flasher suites for led’s? And just to confirm, the black component in my pic is the flasher relay, right?

Hi Andy, did you ever resolve this ???
