i had the same problem when i replaced my indicators, you need to change your realay to a 23w just get it from the bike shope easy enough to do. If you take your seat of and its at the back on the bike behind the tray thing and infront of the lights

cheers

What my mate did on his Aprilia was on his mini indicators, stripped all the insides out (wires, connections, etc) and the standard Aprilia indicators have similar insides and with a bit of time (an hour or so) and a bit of superglue, managed to fit the standard Aprilia connections, bulbs, etc into his mini indicators, without using a 23W relay.

This only works if you just want mini indicators and not brighter bulbs tho remember. Also, be confident in what you're doing otherwise you'll f*ck up the mini indicators and your standard ones in the 'conversion' process. Laughing

I have just had the same problem.
It can be easily solved by simply finding a lower wattage bulb for the unit.
I have got 4 replacement indicators, the front are the original 23w bulbs, and the rears i swapped for 5w bulbs. (£1.49 from halfords!)
Cheap solution and works fine! Laughing

Hey Viper, what indicators have you installed?...the mini Motrax ones?...I'm kinda torn between replacing all 4 with mini ones, or buying another pair of the front (honda) ones and putting them on the back...

I bought the VERY cheap £10 replacement pack, with the three different choices of lense cover in. (M&P)

They work great. Havent broken yet!!!
