After installing LED indicators/blinkers you will find the flash rate has increased (2x)
You can purchase Indicator flash rate relays from many accessory stores/ebay.
Thanks, ... well after attempting to research the interwebz for valid and non-jibberish info i came to the conclusion that if none is found i might as well contribute somehow and cut the time of others doing these DIY mods. If everyone added some we'd never have to buy (pirate) manuals that are only understood by 17th century wordsmiths.
I put one on my RF, the thing lasted from here to Melbourne and halfway back before it shat itself . Well it may have gone earlier, but i didn't really notice if it did . Then again i DID buy one for a car and not a bike
Doesn't a small resistor return both low voltage and led installs back to normal flash rates?

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?
hey PC, better late than never here but i replaced the relay the other night and took the old one out and cut it open for a post mortem analysis.
Turns out there was a dodgy solder joing that started the problem by not properly bridging to one of the posts on the electrolytic capacitor used inside the relay. Vibration killed that poorl soldering and the vibration of the whole freaking capacitor killed the other solder joint to the capacitor. Next up is to resolder both these joints *properly* and see if that fixes the issue. If it does then great! I'll then add a dob of hotglue to the capacitor & pcb to keep it from future vibrations.
Otherwise i've got another peice of crap to throw out as the bike managed to kill it!
p.s. i don't know htf it happened, but my bike lost highbeam as well, i didn't notice it until the other night, tore plastic off and measured freaking everything, but it just didn't work. Ended up removing the fuse to check it hadn't blown, put it back in, and the f)#$*#($&(#*#(@#(#*ing highbeam worked! Stupid arse electrics problems, i *HATE* them.
I would forget the ebay relays. I went through a couple before installing one of the common red Narva LED flasher units you can get from any automotive stores for a bit over $10. Been over a year now and never touched it again. I unplugged and removed the old unit, tapped off the wiring to feed the new one and left the OEM connector there incase I ever wanted to go back.
