    Flasher

    Good morning guys.

    First off let's get this straight... I suck at electrical

    Q1-The blinkers on the 83 GS450L are blinking crazy fast and was wondering what would cause that?

    The speed is constant at what ever RPM.

    Q2- Are the blinkers suppose to act as marker lights? If so, I have a problem.

      bad flasher relay ?

      a burnt out bulb ? on one of the blinkers ?

      I don't believe the blinkers should be constantly on...

      Check all the bulbs make sure they are all working correctly

      are you running LED lights or just normal bulbs ?

      .

        The PO had a trailer flasher relay installed. Lucky for me I had a relay in the garage from a previous project that seems to work fine.

        Now the flashers are blinking at a proper interval.

        Are the lights suppose to light up as markers? Mine do not.

          Some GS's have parking lights that stay on in the front, others do not.

            I haven't owned any small GS bikes, but on the bigger ones I have owned, 1981 and newer have running lights in front.
