My bike has 4-way flashers... HELP!!

[TheDrunknmonky]

I installed low power LED signals on the front and rear of my 2007 GS500F.  The power draw was so low that the lights would not flash.  I did some digging and found out that I needed to add a load equalizer.  I went and bought one and installed it per the directions.  I attached it to the rear left and the rear right positive wires and i grounded out the negative to the right rear negative.  Now instead of having no lights i have 4-ways... I would really like to have turn signals again.  Can anyone help?

I had the same problem buddy. I installed LEDS and put resistors on and to no avail

My solution: Fudge them LED's. I got ones that are cool and have bulbs. DID THE TRICK.

You will need to replace the relay if you want to run LED flashers. You can buy a relay designed for the low-current LED setup.

There are many additional threads on this topic that will provide more information.

Good luck!

yep gotta replace the relay and might even need to install resistors in teh circuit... been there done that.

Electricity is rather easy, it looks like you screwed something up. If you take a look at how it's wired, it should be obvious why it's doing that.

the load equilizers should each be installed in series with the flasher circuit on each side. What you've done, is turned them from 2 circuits into one big circuit.

thanks for all the input. does anyone know which relay i should be looking for and possible where to find it?

[mach1]

any auto parts store will have relays just make shure you get a t prong. I got an extra loud clicker one and it worked great. workes gfreat with my LED rear blinkers

Yeah, same prob I had. You gotta do both the load balancer and resistor! Also, If you want the turn indicator light to work you need a diode. Kurykurin (sp) sells one that I used for six bucks. One of the most aggravating mods I did but love 'em now!
