Hiya froggy,

You shouldn't need to cut any wires. Follow the cable back through from the indicator and it should come to a clip. Simply seperate this and attach the new blinker.

Is it on the 250? try and see what clips they have. post a pic if you can.

Have your new indicators got the same clip on the end? You could change them over but it would be better to get new from a hardware shop.

Yeah, I did notice your blinkers were quite...noticable? Smile

I have arrowed ones on the FZR. Something I didn't expect was with them being short stubs (really short) they barely could be seen as they sat behind the reg plate. Took a bit of bodging to get them to sit right.

Regards

Hi

Check the headlight fuse. Fair chance it is the same fuse as the indicators and that you have earthed one of the ones and popped the fuse (that is assuming the indicators do not work either).

All the best

oops..

you have a bike mechanic who lives near you,,,,
you could always pop up and get him to laugh at it,,

personally it sounds like the light fuse as you shouldnt have touched anything else,,,
