That's because if your tinicators are the LED type they need a relay box to be fitted in series. :spanking[1]:

Yep capts right, basically different indicators have/need different amounts of power and are wired in a different way. Change your indicators and certain things go up the left like flasher boxs, etc etc

Motrax do a replacement flasher relay unit that slows down the flash rate when you use LED indicators, it's around 20 quid I believe... (I have the Kawasaki version, it plugs straight into the original loom connector).

btw. remember that LEDs are diodes, so the current only flows in one direction through them - so you need to get the wires the right way round or they won't work...
