    What do you mean by draw?

    What electronic flasher do you suggest for this 1990 GSX 600F Katana and from whom do I buy it from? What wires do I hook the LED unit's solid yellow and black and yellow wires to?

    Thank you

      The OEM type flasher is a bymetal switch it needs an amp draw to heat the strip, no heat no flash. Your local auto parts store will carry them. There will be an extra wire that will need to be grounded. Other than that, it plugs right in.

        This clear alternatives led kit came with resistors that increase the current. Will this help the lights flash? Is that why they included them?

          Don't use the resistors. Just get the electronic flasher. Not a fan of hacking the wiring on anything if there is a safer alternative.

            Would the turn signal relay cause the lights not to flash if it is defective?

            Thanks

              Not if your using LED turn signals. You'll need the electronic flasher to work properly.

                I used an R1 led integrated set up mentioned above. You will need an electronic variable flash relay as mentioned. Can be picked up for under 10$ at O'reilly's.
