Currently, I have an Denso flasher/relay unit (part# FE249JR) which it made
for 4 x 21 Watts turn signal bulbs. Since I want to use 10W bulb, I will
like to know the part number for the 4 x 10W version. I need that because
with that kind of unit, if you use a lower or higher wattage bulb, the
blinking rate is very inaccurate.
Here's a schematic of my current unit:

I asked a lot of dealer in my region but know one have this information! I
also tried to get the info directly from Denso but they alway refer me to
dealer!
So, somebody knows:
The part number of the 4 x 10 Watts version?
A dealer which have a Denso catalog/specification?
A japaneese bike which use 10W turn signal bulb?
Somebody who works for Denso?!?!
Thanks,
Ho! I don't want to use load equaliser, high power resistors or car/trailer
relay to solve my problem! ;-)

What those ratings mean?
Thanks

I have just replaced the rear indicators on my DRZ400E with those little
orange Hella LED clearance lamps (they handle 0-36Volts), and I had the
erratic flashing problem when I hooked them into the circuit. Problem was
the old flasher bulbs were 21W, and the new ones are about 0.5 w. The
flasher unit wasnt seeing the current draw that it expected. Talking to the
electronics tech brother, he advised selecting a resistor in parallel to the
bulb to bring the current draw up to what the flasher unit requires. We have
worked out the resistive value I require, but I am yet to buy the heavy
resistors I need.
Bear in mind that my bike isnt registered, and so the indicators arent
expected to meet DOT requirements. It may however give you an idea in
solving your erratic flashing prob. MY solution isnt going to reduce the
current draw on your electrics, though. Reduced current draw is the only
reason I can think of why you would want to run lower wattage bulbs.
I must ask though, why would you want to reduce the visibility of your
indicators on a road bike?? Lower wattage is going to make them harder to
see. I changed mine as the rear indicator mounts dont fit without the poxy
rear mudguard, and the whole unit is going to fall off very quickly when
bush-bashing.
Personally, I would prefer something so bloody bright that the world lights
up behind me when they are on. At least no-one can claim they didnt see you
indicate....

Just go to your nearest accessory shop and get an electronic flasher unit.
They are not load dependent and cost about $12 here in Australia. Can buy
them in K-Mart. Work with any wattage lamps, including LEDs.

I thought about the the resistor but I prefer to just swap the relay... It's
cleaner! Also, with the resistor, you have to deal with a lot of heat
dissipation... Something like 22W (42W - 2 * 10W).
I still hope finding the correct relay!

Looking at the size of the flasher unit on the DRZ400, I would think it
might actually be an electronic unit; it is very small & doesnt seem to make
any noise.. Doesnt seem to be a lot of room in there for mechanical
flasher...
And it doesnt like the LED flashers at all.
I might try some anyway; they may be better set up for what I want than the
Suzuki unit....
Cheers, and thanks for the idea.

Apologies; Hadnt thought of replacing the whole indicator units, so coudlnt
think why you'd be putting lower wattage bulbs in!
Cheers,
Rod.

Not legal for rego in OZ, if a bulb fails the law requires that the
rider/driver is made aware of that failure. However they don't check
that feature so you may getway with it for years.
For a 2x10W flasher unit try a honda XR250/650 - they run 10 watt
indicators.
You could use a 21w light globe as the load resistor ... cheap and you
already have them. Put it somewhere interesting :)

As does my Guzzi.

The Denso part number is 066500-5270 (SUZUKI Part Number 38610-12FA0)
Now, I need to found which Suzuki models use that part... I don't want to
buy a new unit... They are $60! I will check with salvage yards.
So, if you have a Suzuki, can you check on your relay if you see that
number: 066500-5270. If yes, tell me your model/year.
Please check!!! ;-)
Thanks,
Bob

Tungsten 2-21w bulbs, Halogen 4-21w bulbs?
Halogen bulbs also use tungsten. The difference is elsewhere.
And 21W is 21W, as far as the controller is concerned.
How about these instead:
Turn 2x21W
Hazard 4x21W
Makes sense.
