    Where's the flasher relay?

    I'm trying to upgrade my bike so it'll have LED flashers front and rear. I got the Siccass ones along with their "Smart-flasher" relay. I found the stock flasher relay on my bike but because the "smart flasher" isn't an OEM replacement I'm not sure which wires to connect together. (There's only 2) I want to look up the wiring code on the bike to see which wire is which on the stock relay so I connect it correctly to the new "smart flasher" relay. Where is the flasher relay shown on my wiring diagram?

    I got home from work today and went into the garage to try and figure out how I'm supposed to connect my new Siccass "Smart Flasher" LED relay so my new LED blinkers will work. It was my understanding, from reading other posts, that if I wanted to change both front/rear blinkers to LED I would need to get an LED flasher relay. Anyway, before I got to far, I thought to myself, "I wonder what would happen if I just connected them to the stock flasher relay?" I already had the old blinkers off so I just stripped the new wires and connected them to the leads on the bike and guess what? They worked!! Both front and rear flashed at what seemed to be a normal blink rate.

    I did not test them with the bike running but I assume that if they work with the bike off they're going to work with the bike running. I also don't know if the flasher indicator works with them or not. It was not blinking but the bike wasn't running either. Another thing to check later.

    The other thing that came to mind was that I might not actually have a stock flasher relay. Maybe I don't. It IS an RR that a dealer put a light kit on so who knows. Below is the flasher relay I have on my bike. It does seem to work with these SICCASS blinkers... Orange Lens LED Flat Mount (22-100) and Orange Lens LED Flex Mount (22-104)

    For the record... it's a 2010 450RR.

    My 2011 520RS came with a regular flasher in place. The electronic flasher you show is the spare in my tool kit; from Beta. :-) Sounds like you are ready to ride with your LEDs!

    Catfish ...

    PS: The flasher in the schematic above is # 16 I believe.

    Not ready yet... but soon. :-) Praying for an early spring.
