Indicators aren't flashing

[Red-Diz]

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

Sounds like dodgy connectors

Not enough load and flasher goes to fast. Too much and it sticks either on or off

Busted flash relay???

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.

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
