Morning Guys, Well, my blade has just failed the MOT. Why? 'because the (LED) indicators are flashing quicker than required 120 per minute'.. First of all I didn't know there is such 'requirement', secondly I actually like them flashing quicker. Anyway, I need to buy LED relays and fit them quickly this weekend. I would appreciate any help, i.e. where can I get them quickly (around Surrey) and which are the ones for 2009 blade (I see 2 pin or 3 pin versions at DemonTweeks), Help! ')
you will be easier getting the in line relays that attach to each individual indicator at short notice rather than an actual proper replacement relay, i think that a proper OEM style relay would need to be ordered. If you have a J&S near you they stock the in-line ones, as do some dealers that have a spares shop (My Local Honda & Suzuki dealer sells them as i've purchased them myself) if you can wait you will get them on Ebay about half the price you would from a shop
Thanks Sam, Local J&S doesn't stock those relays, Infinity Motorcycles run out of stock alike another couple of local suppliers. It seems that most of us are gradually switching for LEDs, while MOT stations are happy to fail the bike for indicators flashing 'too quick', so LED relays are in high demand... Luckily Honda Doble has plenty! ')
The online resistors don't always work where as the led relays do! I had the same problem fitting in line resistors and ended up buying relay instead

The indicator relay is behind the headlight and is a nose cone off job unfortunately! Was easier for me at the time as had all the bodywork off from my accident. Although I had to take nose cone off to fit my hm dash and that took no more than 45mins
