FZR AL Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I thought it was to do with the ratings on the bulb , like if you put a 12v bulb into a 6v it will just glow dim, as it there is not enough juice same goes for the wattage as well, if you put a 45w into a 35w rated again this will affect the the working of the indicators check the ratings for your bike Cheers Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosafa Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 all the bulbs are as i got them when i bought it??? will check 2morro tho. horn defanatly works, used it the other day when some blind old bat cut me up and nearly had me in her back window!!!! lol wel i havent ever checked the battery myself, ordered a new one the other day from my local mach, in the hope that will fix the stupidly dim lights! i leave my dipped beam on constantly for better vis "be seen be safe". should i not do that? would the wrong watt bulb cause the dodjy flashing times and not working atal? do you think it could be water in my electrics somewhere? thanks for help guys oh mines a 95 w reg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 21w bulbs in front and 12w in back. I changed this to 21w all around on the advice of a local mechanic. when i lefted the seat,i found two earth wires without connectors i.E (bare wires) after fiddling with them and reattaching them,then the indicators do not work at all. headlight still works ok,except for a mix up in intensity of beam( i.E) When dipped is selected,Full Comes on and vice versa) Any Ideas what this could be? p.s My horn does not work either, i think i need a new one. any suggestion much appreciated.
