LED Flasher

[Seaking]

Hi guys.. wondering if someone could help me out with something here.. I can't seem to find my way around this..

 

basically two parts to this, please bear with me.. (keep your clothes on, I didn't say "bare")

 

Last year my signal flasher broke down and I had to replace it with a new one.. the mechanical flasher was located under the right side cover under by the seat.. simple plug and play.. However, while waiting for that one to come in, I picked up an Electronic LED FLASHER that would work for both incandescent and LED signal lights and not require load equalizers etc as it's all part of the package thing.. Its not a plug and play but someone had sent me info on how to splice it into the bike's wiring etc. Before I had time to attempt it, someone found me a proper OEM flasher unit and I put this electronic one on the shelf.. (photo with info on box and flasher) Does anyone recognize or/and know where I can get info about it etc etc?

 

Now, the second part is that I purchased and installed a pair of Genesis Flat LED Turn Signal White BAZ Eclipze2 (Custom Dynamics) and wow, are these things insanely frikken bright!!! Perfect with the HID headlight etc.. They are white LED that stay on all the time but turn off as you signal to flash on off on off.. but they stay on all the time.. making you very visible to blind cagers.. hopefully..

 

But being LED they flash fast.. oh well.. I can live with that.. man these are bright! NICE!

 

Someone stated that if you put load equalizers in the circuit to slow the flash rate down, you then lose the self canceling ability of the system.. Not sure if that is true or not.

 

Then thinking.. Hmmm what about that LED flasher unit?? Put that into the system and voila.. the flash rate slows down and ... self canceling we'll find out.

 

BUT the fun is I cannot remember where I got that LED flasher from, or how it splices into the system properly..

 

Anyone? Bueller?

There are instructions to hook up the electronic flasher relay to the signal canceler/flasher on Custom Dynamic's web site. http://www.customdynamics.com/yamaha_flasher.htm

It works!, but you do lose the cancel feature. I would get another one for the emergency flashers as well. It's plug & play.

Many thanks M8! woot, ergh.. I had a second look and it doesn't appear that I have the SAME flasher unit as shown there.. mine only has TWO wires and no adjusting dial to change the flash rate.. no worries. My buddy saw the lights in front of the bike and now wants them too so he'll order the new relays in at the same time..

 

(what's an ELFR DOT???)

 

Any idea what the socket is for the rear signal lights on a 2006 and 2008 RSV? The fronts are "3 pins" which confused me at the time of ordering.. now dunno what exactly the rear should be..

 

Thanks again for the link.. very helpful.

I use the Slim Line Metric Signal Stabilizer from Custom Dynamics. It's not plug and play but is fairly easy to tap into the wiring under the seat. My self cancelling signals still work.

Well that sounds good.. I checked their site and see several versions of the slim line signal stabilizer, I'm not sure which is which..

 

and later find out that Custom Dynamics guys say that the GEN-7.5-30 Load Equalizer is the one that will work for our RSV bikes... nice.
