Indicators flashing too fast

Anyone know why my indicators are flashing too fast? Gen 1 Tuono Fighter 2003
Got told to change the wattage of the bulbs and that would help but it stopped the indicators working altogether.
On the front there are 10W bulbs and on the back are 21W. I tried 21W on the front and this is when they didn't work.
There is also a horrible noise from the dashboard when I put the indicators on, is this normal?
I'm not very good with electrics so any well will be grateful
Cheers
 
Hey,

FYI, it seems you have posted this is 'classifieds', you might have better luck elsewhere. I don't know that much about electrics, but I know there is an indicator relay behind the bikini fairing. If you are fiddling about removing indicators while the ignition is on this will flick on and off frantically (horrible noise). If the ignition is off I believe it should not be powered.

Different spec indicators might need a different relay. I don't know much more than that.

I suggest you ask again in the Tuono 1000 section. Be warned they are a grumpy bunch on here.

Thanks Paul, I'll do my best not to offend anyone.

Shelter, were only grumpy on a Monday morning, or when our T's won't start, so you should be OK most of the time! ;)

Double rate of flashing usually means one bulb has failed. If all your bulbs are fine maybe the relay is faulty.

Cheers Paul,
That is my next port of call it's become the least of my worries at the moment with my T. Changed the levers recently and now it would appear my clutch is slipping in 4th so not sure how long the clutch lever actuator pin should be, I've tried shortening it but not been out on it since.... typical Scottish Highlands weather!!!!

Have you ever had this kind of trouble or know how long the pin should be? or is it a case of suck it and see and keep changing it to see if it helps. Maybe it's not the levers that's the problem!! slowly losing all confidence in my T something else goes wrong every time I'm out on the hoor...

Any help is grateful Paul

I have barely any idea about clutches and slipage- having not experienced that issue yet (until riding home after reading this, when paranoia set in- 'is it?' 'isn't it?' - thanks for the poisonous idea :) )

My advice would be to start a new thread in the tuono 100o section.

I did a quick search, and there are a few previous threads you could read through. Other than that I am useless to you, sorry.
