    Indicators aren't flashing

    Hey guys i was just wondering if my indicators are turning on, but not flashing, if that's road legal or not.

    and if not, what the issue might be?

    i have a feeling the electrics in general might be stuffed, since the indicators sometimes work, and sometimes don't.

    and the headlight has a bit of a mind of it's own too. i have to turn the handles full lock in one direction to get the headlight to want to turn on sometimes.

    i have a suzi '83 NZ 250

    Have you changed the bulbs to lower wattage ones, buy any chance?

    Happened on my XT when I went from 21w to 10w bulbs - not enough current draw to trigger the relay and the indicators just stayed on.

    Flasher can/ flasher relay Probably living under the tank somewhere
    Not flashing/ not legal
    Issue might be in the form of a fine from Mr plod
    Just shut your eyes and it makes no difference whether your headlight is working
