Indicators.

[gothtec]

My indicators are flashing very fast on my CG125 rat.

No bulbs have blown could it be a short somewhere?

could be earth related.Flasher unit p'haps suspect.

have you replaced any on the bulbs?. are they all the same wattage?. just a thought. :o

[johnr]

usually down to poor earths. indicator relays work on resistance, and a selection of bad earths on a bike will create a lot of resistance.

Best way of sorting it is take one large amperage wire, run that from your earth terminal to all four indicator earth leads - however you wish to run it... split it with bullet terminals or whatever.

that should do the trick.

Also... your relay - two or three pin?

[gothtec]

Two pin, all running OK no changes at all then started quick flashing.

OK then, that's just Live in, Live out, therefore you need a separate earth wire as I mentioned above.

I bought a copy of Classic Bike Guide yesterday, where there was a piece about Ferret's wiring service. He said the same thing I did ;) The frame isn't going to be that good a conductor to earth, so you are better off with a special earth wire.
