Hi all,
I modified my front fairing and attached some flush mounted turn signals recently (the old were smashed when the previous owner laid the bike down)

I have the bike tuned and running but I dont have working turn signals or brake lights. I was wondering what you guys think of my wiring setup. Im a complete novice when it comes to wiring so some advice would be much appreciated.

The attached pic shows the setup. I matched the solid wires and the wires with the white stripe when connecting. I am assuming the green wire is the ground wire because it was attached to the base of the old signal socket.
I am attaching it as shown, the screw goes to the base plate of the new signal.

Does this look like it should work?

I will be checking wires and fuses today to try and determine if thats the problem for the signals and rear light.

 

Hi Souldier

yeah you must check your wires but first you must check the fuse, the flash relay and your lights maybe you need change the lamps, but if you don't have turn signals and rear light i'm sure your 10 amps fuse is dead, remember put the right fuse amps only have 4 in fuse box, one of 15 amps just for headlights and the other 3 are 10 amps fuses.

and for your installation it looks ok, green wire is ground and the other are for the lamp with double filament i can remember the light blue wire its for 23watts and the light blue with white stripe it's 8 watts.

ok, I checked the fuses. The 15A fuse was blown and was in the top slot of the fusebox. According to the Haynes service manual the top slot should be a 10A fuse for the fan motor. The second slot down had a 10A fuse and the manual shows it should be a 15A fuse for turn signals, tail lights, horn and meter lights.

So Haynes has the descending order of fuses in the box as 10A, 15A, 10A, 10A

However the sticker on the inside of the fuse box lid shows a descending order of fuses as 15A, 10A, 10A 10A

Any ideas which is right?

 

Yeah that's right i make a mistake in the other post, because the 15 amp fuse is for the turn signal, horn, tail light and light meter so in the service manual this is the right order.



in my fuse box and service manual says:

A - 10 amp - headlights
B - 10 amp - starter
C - 15 amp - turn signal, horn, tail light and light meter
D - 10 amp - Fan motor

But if in your sticker have the order, try it. or try to looking every system, take away the fuse from headlights and turn on the headlights if does'nt, you know that fuse is for headlights. and do the same for every fuses.

Also get some heat shrink on those wires bud!

 

So I completely disconnected the turn signals, replaced the blown fuse and everything works. So I know that something about the new turn signal or the set up is causing a short and blowing the fuse.

I did notice that the new signal and bulb only has one filament whereas the old signal had two filaments. Is this the cause? do I need new signals that have two filaments, one for running lights and one for blinker?

 

Yeah my friend you must disconnect the wire light blue with white stripe and the orange with white stripe because you are doing a short circuit, and that is blowing off the fuses.

if you get a new turn signal and bulb with two filaments you can connect the wire with the stripes,until that you can disconnect the green to the screw ground and connect in the wire where is connect now the wires with stripes.
