Changing Indicators
Hi, my first post.. so hi to start with 
I've recently purchased my CBR, it's a '99. But the indicators no longer work. They were replacements when i purchased it. I've managed to get them off and bought new ones. However i'm not sure which cable goes to which one. There are 2 wires inside the bike for each indicator, a blue and a black one. On the new replacement indicators i've purchased there is a black and a black/white wire.
Would anyone know which ones to connects to which?
Thank you in advance
P.S
The indicators are from oxprods
Oxford Products
Thank you

Hmm, my 98F3 has 3 wires on the harness (6 total), color, color/white and green,
Green is ground, solid is indicator and color/white is cruise light.
Blue, blue/white is left and orange, orange/white is right.
Get a VOM, check each (with ignition off) to ground, using the continuity check setting. That will pin-point your grounds. 'Beep' means it is a ground side wire. Next, switch to DC12 volt range and check each wire to ground with the ignition on. That will tell you which is cruise. Finally, with ignition still on, flip the indicator switch to left/right and check to see which is hot with that setting. That's your indicator wires.
If you don't have a VOM meter, you can use the turn signal itself to do the same checks. Looking to see when it lights up.

Hi,
You can download the wire diagram here : https://cbrforum.com/forum/cbr-600f4...wnload-121805/
Basically the colored wires on the F4 (blue and yellow) are the + lines. The solid green is the -.
All you have to do is open up the new halogen turn signals and check which wire (black or black/white) touches the bottom of the bulb. That will be your +.
On my replacement halogen turn signals the black/white was the positive line but as mentioned before you can easily check.
If you can (and they are still on there) try to use the OEM connectors (soldering the new wires and using some shrinking tube) or get some connectors because it will make life easier when you have to take the front fairing off.
