Turn Signals

I hit left or right and nothing. I was thinking maybe the flasher relay but what do you guys think? They will still click without the signals being on the bike correct?

RE: Turn Signals

I just want to make sure the blinkers work, I do not have the turn signals ordered yet. But with the bike on I turn them on. Aren't they still supposted to click even without them hooked up?

RE: Turn Signals

with no signals at all hooked up, your light(s) on the dash wont even flash, they'll stay solid. same thing with LED signals on both ends.

RE: Turn Signals

if they are filament bulbs...yes..not LED's..there is not enough resistance in LED's to make them flash without non-inductive resistors

RE: Turn Signals

orr...instead of the non-inductive resistors when they flash to fast you can buy a variable load signal relay...cause the resistors create a lot heat and can melt plastic....
