Without going to a stealer, is there an aftermarket one I can put on the Buell?

I did hunt around and Hella do one on http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/prods/281.html

I don't want to go down the 'gay' audi led light route if possible.....

Just about ANY bog standard load independent flasher relay.

40 quid seems a bit high. Even a bloody Motogadget one is only 30€uros

Mine cost me USD13 from Taiwan - free shipping.

Count the number of pins and add up the Wattage of the bulbs flashed per side...

My Taiwan special supports 0.2A -> 20A (2.4W to 240W) O mighty pash. Makes it poss to Flash from LEDs to Headlight bulbs (should this take your fancy).

Does the X1 relay sit in a socket? - If so pin orientation matters. If not any old Live/Earth/Load pin config will do. S3's will run on anything.

Yeah man, if it was me I would go to the local car accessory shop and match it up...

Does EBay item 290365890500 look right?

I am sure yours is a special one Chris

It seems to require min 2*21w bulbs - The S3 has only 10W. So on the S3 that'd flop. It's an issue with a lot of car relays. wtf bikes only have 10w bulbs now is beyond me. The Guzzi has 21W.

I think this is what I fitted to the S3 and Guzzi - The R3 had different pins. I wanted to put in LED bulbs anyway - but they work fine with tungsten filament ones.

Might have something to do with changing the rear indicators out as one got damaged in shipping....hmmm, cheap spanish indicators....

Nope it's a 3 pin jobbie, it is just bolted in between the rear brake master cylinder and I think the ECU. Tried the key in ignition wiggle, that
made it click, so power getting to it , just not doing it's thing.....

This is the little bugger.....note the bulge on the topside, and the lack of dusting on the base of the TV, I shall spank her for that.....

All bulbs are 21w and the relay is 20w , would this be the problem? Add to that heat under the saddle from Oil, and 40 degree in the summer temperatures here in Tenerife....

Btw what would a blown bulb do? Would it make all bulbs not function, or would they flash faster like on some cars?

The originals on the S3 are just about the cheapest you can find. The OEM relay clicks faster with one bulb blown (mine did anyway).

Sounds as if all you need is a simple load independent 3 pin relay. If you need it now - get thee to your local generic scooter/bike centre. ime small independent Spanish garages are more inclined to be ingenious about repairs rather than start quoting OEM prices.

21W bulbs? - The originals were probably 10W looking at that piccie - looks like my OEM flasher too. You may well have burned the relay resistance out. Ambient heat is higher here (and so is Bonzo land)- so it's not that.

Get those 21watters out - the housings probably are only rated to 10W as well. The wires should cope. It's why I fitted LED bulbs - I wanted more light but not more heat.

Sorry the lenses said 21w , maybe not the bulbs.....

Will replace the relay first and go from there.....

I think I will remove all bulbs and replace them all as well, as they are only pennies.....

Right got a relay in town it was 21w 12V so should have been ok , the pins were slightly further apart, so we put it in and nada, zilch.....luckily I didn't buy it first.....

So it makes me think, bulbs or fuse. or all three....

1) Question, before I go down the multimeter route, if a bulb blows, does it kill the circuit to all bulbs?
2) Question, which number fuse on the board runs the indicators, and what else wouldn't work if this was the problem?



Everything else is working ok, except I need a TPS reset , and maybe a standard X1 map reload....

Cheers in advance....

1) What is the TOTAL WATTAGE on each side. That's the relay size you need. So if you've 10W bulbs in each indicator - you need 2*10W or 20W. A 12W wont do it.
2) Some of the electronic relays simply will not respond if you get it wrong. Some are also VERY sensible to pin orientation. They do not support reverse voltage.

If it were me I'd bridge the relay to start with and check the circuits/fuse. Nah just kidding - METER NOW and stop pissing about.
