Guys i have installed aftermarket turn signals on the front and an integrated turn and stop signal in the rear. They were working fine for a while, then they started to blink slowly, then just stayed on, now they will not turn on at all. Anyone know what to do????   :dunno_white:

Ahem. I meant to say:

Try installing a new blinker relay.

since they were working fine, try checking all the connection and making sure the bulbs are good. you can check each signal with a 12volt battery too- always check the simple things first  :thumb:

My guess is that your turn signal relay- TSR - has suffered in the conversion. Some of the TSRs are sensitive to the amount of current that runs through them. Too little current and they either blink slow or not at all.

Try one on the new TSRs that are more friendly to the LED or lower current signals that are popular now.

So where would you recomend getting a turn signal relay? is there a specific one for our bike? where is it located, i dont have the bike manual for some strange reason

Here's a link to a photo of the TSR. CLICK HERE

There are several online order houses for Suzuki Parts or you could pay your local dealer a visit and not pay shipping charges.  The Guilera is the latest style used. It is electronics and does not suffer from a load change like the older style.

The TSR is under the right side frame cover. It is mounted on the same bracket with the Rectifier/Regulator and the Side Stand Relay. It has a two wire connector on it (as in the photo).
