Indicator problems

[OreoXX]

Hi

I recently fitted new mini-led indicators on my NSR 125, but only the left-side indicators seem to be flashing correctly. The right-side indicators just stay lit, they don't flash. All four indicators are fitted with 10W bulbs like the original NSR ones, and I assume all four indicators go through the same relay. Therefore, I don't think the problem lies in the bulbs or the relay. Can anybody help me?? I almost got hit by a car because of this!!

i think you must have a look on this bulb power , it's may be not a 10w but a 21w . when the bulbs are too strong , it stays fixed and to low they blink more quickly .

I had this problem , you need a biger relay i think its a 21V relay u need can get them from any local car shop
21V or 21W i cant remember but its definatly your relay

The original ones only have anough power supply to power the standard ones leds require much more power so the indicators dont flash they just stay on.#

A relay should only be about 3 quid so its nothing really

i do not recommand to change the relay because your alternator has a limited power and with the lights on you will see the voltage going down and consequently the lights weakening

But as you go faster the brighter your lights get as your battery charges? i changed my relay and my indicator are amazingly bright and my battery is fine

Did the indicators come with little resistors when you bought them? I have LED indicators on my bike and have resistors wired in parallel with each of them to make them flash at the correct speed.

On the NSR, changing the relay seems to be the norm for fixing this problem.

Seen it posted many times over the years. It works fine, despite what any electrician says

All my bulbs are 10W, but only the left side indicators flash, the right side ones stay lit. If I need to change the relay, where is it located? And where can I buy it online?

I made my way to the relay, and found there was a loose wire, which I soldered back on. The indicators now work like never before

Thank you guys for your time and help, greatly appreciated
