    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.

The signals turn on but don't blink. This is after I removed the huge farring and saddle bags off of my gs850 (1979). Any suggestions. They use to blink.
 
do you have turnsignals on the front now?

what size bulbs do they have in them if you do have lights on front?

the flasher relay module used by Suzuki on these bikes is very VERY sensitive to the wattage of the bulbs and if it is not just right they wont blink.
 
Check to see that all bulbs are OK. Some systems don't work if one bulb is burned out. Course if neither side blinks then it would be two bad bulbs.

These system have a flasher that is sensitive to voltage, amperage and resistance in the system. If you've got a bad connection somewhere that could do it.

My signals started to misbehave so I checked and the flasher had two connections. I wnet to the discount auto parts store and bought an electronic flasher and it works with almost any variation reguardless of the charge present. Use them in all my vehicles now.

When removing the fariring and saddlebags you may have disconnected your raound for the signals. Check to see that you've got a complete circuit.
 
Hot Dog! I'm Back on my Bike :D That was it the flasher relay module was not pulling enough wattage for it to flash. FIXED THANK YOU :)
