Z900 A4 - Slow Indicators

[bollypne]

Hi All, I have an A4. Indicators flash too slow at tickover, 1000-1400rpm but above that are ok. Also slow to to start flashing. Battery is good and charges well, even after a couple of weeks the bike will start on the button. I ride with the headlight on all the time.

Thanks - Colm

dodgy earth (s) or dodgy flasher unit would be what i'd look at first.

Seconded, Its almost always due to a dodgy earth, causing a bad high resistance connections.
And quite often the rears as they seam to get knocked about and etc when moving the bike around.
The other thing to check is how secure your headlight is as if you have been moving it around to get the beam height right often the indicator earths work loose.

Same thing was happening on my Z last summer. I spent a evening unravelling the wiring harness and found that the wires had pretty much disintegrated at their connectors. Redid them and all is peachy now.
