flasher relay

[stevie16v]

My flasher relay on my yamaha sr 125 has packed it in. Went into halfords and the local motorstore but with no joy. Tons of 21w relays, but no 4w relays. Is there an alternative i can use? the spec for mine, i beleive its 10w x 2 + 1.7w.

eek! Well the yam. Stealer near me wanted £25, you can imagine how fast i left the shop.

I tried a few local garages and no one had the exact part.

I'm sure my friend, any motor factors near you?

Yeah theres a couple. But they dont tend to stock motorbike stuff. WHo wouldve thought a relay would have been so hard to get! lol

What would happen if i put in a relay with a higher wattage? would it affect how the signal worked?

LOL yeah i know. But my bike control isn't erm quite up to scratch so dont want to complicate it more and end up eating concrete!

I bought a 21w flasher unit from halfords. Seems to be working ok, although its peeing it down so just checked to make sure it worked!
