Hi all i know its prob been covered before but cant find any links,is it better to change flasher relay or use resistors with integrated tail light to stop blinkers flashing too fast??and how many resistor do u need,1 for each blinker,just split live wire and reconnect??

I had one in my 05 Jim and I didn't need anything. The blinkers flashed perfectly, absolutely no different from stock.

From what I've seen of integrated tail lights....they suck!!!!
If you want some body running up your arse because they can't see your turn signal...go ahead

I'd rather have one any day. Mine was a shitload more visisble then the stock set up. Totally illegal as well but I never had any issues.

I am usually to far in front for any to crash up my arse end, defensive riding I call it.
I had one on my Bug and it worked fine

Just picked up my ZX10.....the dealer fitted a fender eliminator with led blinkers at the rear, and yeat they flash twice as quick....I'm looking into a fix.

this one is cheap version hasnt got built in resistors so it does flash faster than stock,however i have checked it out with the missus driving behind and visibility is good if not better (no double entenders..ha)than old skool blinkers

Hey Guys,
does anyone know if the ZX10 has a 2 or 3 pin flasher can relay? I have found an electronic flasher can designed for LED's (saves having to wire inline resistors) but I'm unsure as to how many pins it has, and I haven't had the time to rip the bike to bits yet and find out. Any help is much appreciated.

2 pin you can also use a 3 pin but just need to earth one of the wires
