When I first got my bike and was checking the electrical system, I turned on the blinker and nearly crapped my pants! BEEP!BEEP!BEEP!

Here is how I fixed it.
1. Take the seat off.
2. Turn on the turn signal.
3. Locate the flasher (beeping box)
4. Remove the flasher.
5. Take the rubber mount off of the flasher.
6. Electric tape the rubber mount to a 552 automotive flasher.
7. Put new flasher on the frame. Quiet turn signals!

Yep. That was pretty common on the lifan bikes. You solution was the common fix. I fill the alarm hole in mine with tub and tile caulk.

I tried filling it. Still couldn't stand it. So this was my $1.50 fix.

I have a bike with the same annoying beep, but it's a box with a Molex connector, rather than a simple two-prong flasher connector. :(

Post a pic of the prongs on the flasher. I might be able to match one up.

Thanks. The bike is a little hard to get to right now, so here's a pic from last year:

I'll need to see the prongs on the flasher.

What do you have against the 'Beeping Winker' option (ok, not an option)?! Yes, that is what they were called in the manual...LOL

That is the flasher, on the right with a six wire connector. It does not have typical flasher prongs, so I haven't tried to replace it. I'll either muffle it or probe the wires to figure out which wires would power a flasher.

Weld. I think my lifan had that same style.
