xgp Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Hey all, first post here. I recently bought a 2017 FZ-07 and decided to toss some of the Yamaha OEM LED accessory turn signals on it. I originally decided to use an LED flasher relay instead of the included load resistors, but the relay has a solid 1-2 second delay before activating the turn signals, so I ultimately decided to just install the load resistors with the OEM relay. The problem is I hacked apart one of the resistors when I decided I wasn't gonna use it. Any chance anyone here has a spare they'd sell me? I ran a quick search and saw that at least a couple members here have installed these with LED flasher relays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faffi Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Sorry to hijack, but my bike has a relay for digital indicators with a delay, and I've meant to ask for a long time whether the stock relay has delay or not when running stock indicators?

xgp Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 The stock relay and turn signals have no delay--you hit the switch and the turn signal lights up immediately. It turns out the LED flasher relays have this delay because they use a capacitor to set timing, and it needs a moment to charge when you activate your turn signals.

faffi Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Thank you, I will fit the stock relay again that came with the bike. Again, sorry for the hijack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted May 27, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted May 27, 2017 I do not have a delay with my electronic relay (I have the Custom LED one). I prefer the relay over resistors as I do not want resistors heating up when I am waiting at a stoplight in the summertime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrcode Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I also have no delay using the TST LED relay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll send those guys a message and ask about their relay's design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgp Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 I also have no delay using the TST LED relay Man, I'm using the TST RLYG2 and the delay is well in excess of 1 second. Looking at their FAQ's, some delay seems to be expected. I think I'll send them a message. I don't know, maybe my delay is longer than it's supposed to be.

myrcode Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I'll double check mine tonight and see if I can get a video. Maybe mine is a secondand I never noticed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faffi Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Mine is more severe, although I do not know the brand. It was like that with LED front/stock rear, and now stock/stock indicators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the video! That delay is way shorter than what I'm seeing. My relay came from TST with a much slower flash rate, and they do say in their FAQ's that speeding up the flash rate reduces the delay. My bike's in torn apart at the moment, but once I get it back together I think I'll increase the flash rate on the TST relay and see if I'm happy with where that puts the delay.

xgp Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 you can have my stock relay. send me a msg dewk2@yahoo.com Thanks for the offer, but I still have mine. I'm trying to get rid of the LED hyperflash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speed of that turn signal is from a setting on the Proton LEDs. I left the TST relay on the default setting and without changing the Proton LED flash setting, it was a slow flash - similar to the stock lights.[span] [/span] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess nothing changes then--I'm still gonna get a hold of the guys at TST. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgp Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 FYI for any interested, after seeing myrcode's video I decided to increase the flash rate on my TST relay just a little bit, and it reduced the initial delay dramatically. Much better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
