Krey do you know what "type" of flasher it was? or did it just say flasher? lol im having the same problem with my bike.. except for a differant problem as well.. i just put LED's all way around and they turn on but dont flash.. when i put enough load on the circut they flash but only 4 out of the 8 or so LED's light up in each and they are very dim.. will that flasher fix this also?

From the sounds of it, I think this would work for you.

the electronic and the heavey duty flashers i got from napa didnt work. they actually made it worse :/ they dimmed the gauge blinker and didnt even light the led's atall.. got an electronic flasher from work and works like a charm. all LED's light up and flash at a nice pace.. maybe the ones from napa were defective or something lol

Is it really that bad to have a fast blinker? I have the Integrated LED Tail light / Turn signals installed for a few years now, and no problems have shown. I think the faster blink gets a lot more attention than the slow blink ever did.

Federal auto manf. regulations have specifications for the rate or speed of the blinks on turn signals. It's a generally accepted amount. It comes in to play because IF a state has an inspection requirement on turn signals, then they may require that they meet the federal manf. laws in most cases.

NC doesn't require turn signals on a motorcycle, so it doesn't matter for our inspection if I have them, if they work, if they blink fast, slow, or not at all, or what ever. Other states may require that if you have them, that they work and function to specific requirements. Some states require them always.

It would be up to your local inspection and state laws to determin if you needed to make changes.

The reason for the blink rate that is normally accepted is that faster/slower is generally considered to be less safe.

Other states will differ...

No no no... I meant physically to my bike. I could care less about the over reaching communist grab up of what our Government machine is becoming... Will it hurt the bike electronically...?

ya in ontario you have to have signal lights to pass saftey. tho i dont no if they have any regulations about the rate they blink at.. mine blink fairly slow with the flasher i have in it now

[JaxKat]

Thank you Krey. I like the fast blinker, It always gets the drivers and pedestrians attention quicker... It works.

yeah my LED's worked off the hop, but i had a burnt OEM flasher and didn't want to spend $40 at the dealer for the denso one so i got an old style flasher from 70's-80's chev half ton truck. They cost $2 and work like a charm

coincidence that I have a 552 flasher as well but not from napa...any flasher with 552 on it will work
