Question--is it Normal for the 610 te husky /09 /Flasher Unit to give up the ghost after a few months ? Or is it just my Bad luck. The same happened to my / 07/450 te unit a while ago ? Replaced the 450 one with a car mechanical unit. Asked the importer here in SA if the warrantee covers it--answer Noooooooooooo. Original unit just costs 20times the price of a car unit---Any advice on what i should do with the 610---need a small compact unit or need to wire longer wires in and move it to the air box--battery side and put a car one in.? Space is a problem i see -
I replaced mine with an aftermarket electronic flasher unit, which while smaller, was able to fit in the area of the fuse/relay blocks on the left side.
+1 on the electronic flasher. I also put on LED signals and wired up a hazard switch. The LED's ended up being 1.75 pounds lighter than the OEM lights.
+2 on running an aftermarket flasher.. when I finally get my hands on my 610 I'll be installing LED signals all around. To accommodate the LEDs I got this Flasher model LFS-1 (scroll to "motorcycle types") that's made for any combination of regular or LED bulbs without changing the flash rate. It looks to be well made, weatherproof, and was only 9 bucks.
