I bought a 1978 XS650e last month. When I got it the wiring going to the front and back blinkers had been cut. I wired everything up, but the blinker lights would just come on steady. I did some research on the forums here and replaced the flasher relay with one from autozone which was recommended in the thread.
Initially it worked fine, although there was a 3 second delay from when I hit the blinker to when it lit up. Also, when I was at higher RPMs with the blinker on, it would blink faster. The past few days it has been getting much worse. Today the blinker takes about 5 seconds before the first flash, and it is very long between flashes. If I'm at high RPMs the blinker flashes so quickly it almost looks solid. Did I maybe get a bad flasher relay from autozone? I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks
