Modify turn signal relay to work with LED lights

[PGunn]

I just found this PDF on how to mod the flasher relay on the Gen2 to work with LEDs and not have fast flashing and have the cancel and 4 way working. I found the doc here http://www.650ccnd.com/PDFs/Flasher_mod_Revised.pdf

Does it say weather or not the auto cancel also still is operable?

Great post. I think I will put in a small rheostat so I can adjust the blink rate.

Hello,

 

It is easier to put an electronic flasher

The RSV flasher unit also integrates the auto cancel feature. So it turns the flasher off after you make the corner or a few minutes. I tried just removing the pins for the flasher and slaving in a LED flash unit and couldnt get the shut off feature to work. But if you dont care abuth the shut off feature sure.

First line in the pdf:

"I was looking at getting LED turn signals, but I didn't want to have fast flashing signals,

(it reminds me of the old thermal mechanical ones when they were ready to die) or loose

the self-canceling feature."

I would think so he does not say it stopped working. Also I would get one off EBay just to try it on, they are if I remember right are around 7.00 each and if you screw it up you still have the one working on the bike.
