Hi all,

The indicators on my bike only work if only the front or the rear indicators are connected.

As soon as i hook up both front and rear, the indicators do not blink anymore and the relay makes no clicking sounds anymore.

as soon as i disconnect one of the indicator lights, it works as it should.

the flasher itself is new and OEM. the indicators itself are aftermarket.

could it be that the resistance of both indicator lights is to big?

Most likely - check the rating of the flasher can, and the wattage of the bulbs, as knowing the resistance might not help you much.

Also, there are some flasher cans out there, that are designed to only work with LED bulbs - they don't work very well with filament type bulbs.

I have one in my shed somewhere, that is only marked "Electroic Flashor" (sic) and it will work with LED's, but only flash with one 5W bulb.
