Does the dash repeater for your indicators work?

My bike is similar.. I asked about it and found that some models of my bike had rectifiers but all models used the same loom, but the wire was useless.

Could it be to the rectifier?

Take a look at this wiring diagram..

Try touching that green wire to the frame and see if the indicators work after that...

First, check your battery is a) fully charged and b) not knackered

Next, that looks like a replacement indicator flasher, it may be the wrong type (two wire as opposed to 3 wire type) which may cause a problem, depending on what bulbs are fitted.

You said they come on but don't flash so there bulbs are fine.... Have you just replaced anything to do with the indicators on the bike or have they not worked since you got the bike? i thought they once worked but now don't and you found a loose cable.... bit confused now.[/quote]

It has been like that since i got the bike. what would be the the best thing/s to do.

1. Make sure the battery is charged and not knackered. You don't have to tools to do this, so use a battery out of something else that you know works absolutely fine. e.g. use jump leads off a car battery.

2. If it still does not work, then you need to make sure the load presented by the bulbs to the flasher unit is appropriate to that flasher unit. It looks in your case that somebody has replaced a 3 wire unit with a 2 wire unit, and, one assumes, did not change the bulbs to match. To be sure, you will have to find out the rating of the unit (if you are lucky, it will be printed on the case), the rating of each of the 4 indicator bulbs plus the repeater in the dash, and you will need a link to a wiring diagram that actually works.

Plus you could answer the original question.

Wotcha.

Looks like the earth wire from the flasher unit to me.
If you notice, the other green wire in the picture is bolted to a frame earth lug.
