I slimmed down the 54 with front and rear turn signals.

Problem: SOMETIMES I turn the signal on and it will blink normally but then all of a sudden it starts blinking faster.

It was working normally this morning but I turned on the high beam and it started hauling ass again. By turning off the high beam it returned to normal op.

If the bike is off or it's just idling it tends to blink faster. When it's runnning at above 3000 RPM it doesn't blink fast.

I think it has something to do with the charging system.

Can anyone shed some light (LOL) on the subject? :idea:

Check the connections. weeeeeeeee :?

My bike did the same thing. You have lowered the load on the flasher and this is what is cousing your problem. Are any of your new blinkers led's? Anyway if you dig around on the net there is an elctronic trick like a resitor on the positive or something like that and this will increase the load and stop the problem....

Also wheelie is right that too can cause the problem...

Your wires could be switched, depends on your blinkers.

Yeah, what wheelie and fukin' said. Check that you haven't reversed the polarity on the wires. If you have LP flushmounts you could have reversed it if you've removed the bulb and the plate with the contacts twisted around.

How the fuck do you reverse the polarity on a light bulb? I think this is impossible with a filament lamp. if anyone can proove me wrong on this I would love to hear how this is possible.

I thought wheelie was talking about loose wires because that will definatly cause the same symptoms. The electrical system is not sensing the correct load and this is why you are having these issues so increase the load.

With my short stalks, if you hook up the positive and negative wires backwards than they blink fast. I don't know why, they just do.

2K, you're right that the filament doesn't give a shit about polarity and I don't have my manual with me to know what other components are on that circuit, but is it possible that the neutral side has more or less current depending on what is on at the time?

What kind of lamps are you guys using. If it is a dual filament I could see it but I dont drive with running lights and I am running the small LP flushmounts.

:P did you check to see if there is too much blinker fluid :? :P







j/k :lol:

I have double checked the connections twice and they are fine!

How do I increase the load? Do I need Horny Goat Weed?

best guess is to measure the resistance of the stock's and then the after markets.
then make up the difference with a resistor from radio shack I'd venture to say it'll be like a .5 ohm to a 3 ohm resistor that you will put in series with one of the blinker wires on all the blinkers.... 4 resistors total.

Sorry, but I am retarded when it comes to electricity....

Does the resistor go between the wiring connection that I changed or somewhere else?

What is weird is that when I turn the high beams on it starts blinking faster....

yes, you splice the wire and put one end of the resistor on one wire and the other end on the other wire of the one you cut... try and make it the positive lead but it makes not much difference...
with the high beam thing there is more draw and less resist5ance and less resistance makes for a faster cycle from the relay... A heavyduty relay will take care of the issue also but I know not of where to get one for the 954..... :roll:

Thanks!!!!!! :D
