12v flasher relay on a 6v bike

[Endless Nameless]

I know it sounds daft but... the indicator relay has packed up on my CG. Not normally a problem but I kinda need it tomorrow morning for my test. At half 8. No 6v bike handy to cannibalise sadly but we do have a CB500 to pilfer bits from. Would fitting the 12v relay from this work even vaguely, or is it daft to even try?

Cheers all. I'm stressed.

I think it's fair to assume fitting the said device will not result in flashing indicators.

Sometimes it's possible to open the flasher unit and WD40 the contacts, especially on old style metal ones.

I've done a similar thing, I never realised the indicators i had bought had 12v bulbs (6v bike) and i had indicators that never flashed but just stayed on.

So, Sadly i dont think it will work unfortunately! Who knows though, may be worth a try?

Decided to try and get a new relay in the morning- I'll ride to the test and go through the preliminary stuff while tristan tries to find one and rides it over to me and fits it! If not I'll have to cancel

Tried WD40 but didnt make any odds- think tis dead. Cheers for the help!
