    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

LED turn signals not blinking

Hey guys, so this is my first post on here and I've been the proud owner of an 81 suzuki gs450t for almost a year now. I just replaced the stock turn signals with LED ones and they come on fine but they don't flash.

I've read about people having issues where they flash really quickly and need to get a new flasher for it but i haven't found too much about them not blinking at all and just staying constant. Was just looking for some insight before i went ahead and started blindly replacing things. Thanks in advance and im looking forward to being a part of the gs community.

The turn signal flasher unit relies on a certain amount of current being used by the turn signals to make it flash. You'll need an electronic flasher unit. I got one at my local auto parts store for around $10. If you have auto canceling turn signals, there are some complications with that, but I don't know the specifics.
 
Ryan,

Welcome to GSR.

When it flashes too fast, that is too much current for a stock flasher. With the LED signals, You have the opposite problem; Not enough current for a stock flasher.

Also, add your location to profile and bike model /year to signature line (goto UserCP). Then both of those show up in every post and is easier for folks to help you.

Also, do introduce yourself in "owners".
Pictures, we all like pictures.
