I brought some of these indicators for my NSR i heard a lot of you have problems with them, not flashing right, not flashing at all. not flashing bright enough etc, these are going on a 1990 NSR RK

Does anyone know which relay i need and where i can get one from or what wattage/voltage bulbs i need so they work normally?

Cheers

ps im fitting these at the front and back

I don't know about making your indicators work, but seeing as this is in the FAQ section I thought i'd make it relevant. The best NSR indicators are from the place listed below, both myself and trueblue have them and never had any problems.

Well I got the Flexi-stem indicators from https://www.vehicle-wiring-products.co.uk/VWPweb2000/mcycle-1/mcycle-1.html . They're only ten quid a pair and they use the same 10W bulb as the original ones so are just as bright.

They do front and back and are quite a bit smaller that the wings I had before. (most of this text was copied from a post of trueblue)

Open up the indicators and look at the markings on the bulbs. They look like numbers and letters. Razz

They're usually either 10w, 21w or 23w. Standard bulbs are only about 4w I think.

TGE125NSR, read the NSR125 FAQ!!!!! thats what it is there for Very Happy

, and if you also read [this] thread i started, it covers almost everything about indicators on NSR's, and if you look at the pic I posted at the bottom, those indicators you have are the exact same ones I have on my nsr Smile

By the way, the bulbs in those indicators are 23w, and they use an orange bulb-which you cannot get in 10w (10w is the NSR standard). So get down to your nearest motorcycle shop (hein gericke or M&P etc) and pick up a 23-25w relay.

Go to halford, buy a new relay for whatever wattage bulbs you have got.

It will cost you about £2 if that.

Is there any where online because Rugby is crap little town no shops here Sad

just had a look on Mandp.co.uk

They only do 6v and 12v which confused me.

Will the 12v do then?

Lee · Trackday Trickster Joined: 02 Jul 2003 Karma :

yup, 12v 23w (12 volt 23 watts).

you just do not need a new relay.

just make sure the total waatage on each side does not exceed 33.

mini's usually have 21w . got but 2 10w from halfords for £4ish and replace them

all will work fine then
