Hi guys, I have a cbr 125 and I had a little crash so I replaced the front right indicato, however now when I turn them on the right hand side indicators come on but do not flash and the light on dash comes on but doesn't flash either. Any help would be great

Cheers in advanced

Checked that the new bulb is the same wattage as the bulb on the front left?

Most likely this.

Or, have you put an LED one on instead?

To explain the suspicion, it's because traditional flasher relays rely on a particular amount of current being drawn in order to control the flash rate. You'll often see cars / bikes flashing away like mad when a bulb has blown.

You can now get magical relays that don't care about the current, usually sold for use with LED bulbs but they'll work fine with incandescents too. You don't need that though, just get the bulb wattages right and you should be fine.
