Hey im kinda stumped on this and any input would be great. i have a 2006 lifan gy 200 and my blinkers work but they blink slow. any ideas what would cause this and how would you fix this? let me also say all my bulb are good and working just the blinkers are slow.

Thanks and God Bless...

Get a new flasher relay...should fix the problem, providing your battery and all electrical is fine! 8)

gomoto · 09-29-2008, 11:04 PM

do you know where i could get this? is it a standard item and do you have the part # and what store carries it. also where is this located on the bike?

"2 Pin Universal Electronic Flasher" is what to ask the auto parts clerk for. Tell him it's for a 12 volt Chinese motorcycle. (and check out the look he gives you) It's about $10 US.

You will have to modify the motorcycle wire harness to adapt the new flasher, because the harness has 6 connectors, only two of which are used.

I can give more details if you go this route.

First, check all the electrical connectors that you can see, especially the ones under the seat. Look for loose connections and corrosion.

And, buy a multimeter, because you WILL need it eventually :idea:

Let us know,

yes please give me the details so I can use this 2 pin flasher. when I have to replace things on my bike I like to use mainstream replacment parts so I can easly replace them in the future. I did the headlight coversion my bike uses a standard 3 pin h4 headlight. the brake pades are off a yamaha tzf 450. so yes please give me all the info in will need. also where is the flasher relay located?

I got a DOT Tridon it has 2 PRONGS in a 90 degree angle.no mod needed, I just zip tied it to the frame... it is a standard flasher they sell at Canadian Tire up in CANADA!
Anything with 2 prongs shown like the flashers in this pic should work!

thanks so much for your help im going to give it a try this weekend

I changed my bulbs around front to back.

joe · 09-30-2008, 07:47 PM

Just a though. On my 2008 Lifan LF200-GY5, if my tail light is not working my blinkers blink/sound slower then usual. If that is the problem check both filaments on the bulb and the connections under the seat. If it still does not work it might be in your key switch( that is where my problem is.)

theENIGMATIC · 09-30-2008, 09:47 PM

I had problems with my signals.blinking too fast too slow and eventually not blinking at all....had the Tridon on for at least more than a couple months and have had no problems since, the flasher relay on these bikes suck pretty bad and are cheap and easy to replace, I would be suprised if thats not the problem, providing the battery,fuses and everything else electrical works fine, but you should check everything out although I think you will soon need to change the flasher relay anyways! good luck...keep us posted!

This is the electronic flasher from Advance Auto:

This is the modification to the wiring harness.

The Black and the Grey wires are what I needed to extract from the 6 wire connector:

This is the best way to splice the wires: Note the wires removed from the main harness.

This is where I mounted the flasher:

Good luck,
Tigertamer

You might check to make sure that all the flasher bulbs are the same. It has happened to me that 1 bulb was different and the flashing was very slow. It's not very likely but might be worth a check. I'm No PRO.

gomoto · 10-01-2008, 02:05 PM

wow you guys are awesome thank you soooo much for the help and the pics. I have checked all the lights and what not batt is fully charged ect so it must be the relay. I will let you guys know what happens after i change it out this weekend...

God bless

gomoto · 10-09-2008, 08:10 AM

Well the fix works perfectly thank you guys soooo much and as an added onus the blinker beep beep is also gone. While i was into the bike I also did the c-cip mod and it helped with cold starting. thanks again guys.

God bless
