Color: AmberGoing to take my new indicators to an auto spark to fit, is it a straight swap over or do i need some sort of regulator as they are different to the original indicators?Also have spotted a small leak in my right hand exhaust should i worry about it or is there some sort of sealant that i can use as it is only a small leak or as the bike is only 10 months old should i thake it back to the dealer? 09 XTXTaa Hushy : )

Depending on the indicators some of them you need a different flasher box others not. Just have to see when you get them on what heppens.

As for the leak in the exhaust, where abouts is it and are they standard exhausts?

If there standard and it looks to be coming from at the bottom of the silencer at the end nearest the engine, dont worry this is just a drain hole so it drains any water thats got into the engine from say washing your bike to crossing rivers etc.

To pass the MOT requirements your indicators have to blink at 60-120 per minute. 1-2 times per second. Some people have found that swapping the standard filament bulbs for LEDs makes the indicators blink too fast. You can fix this by adding a resistor but the neater solution is to replace the relay controlling the indicators. Anywhere that sells LED indicators should be able to sell you a suitable relay if you find you have this problem. Like Maxwell says, you have to put them on and see.

You'd have to be more specific about where on the exhaust the leak is.

standard exhausts, half way down on the underside of the main box there's a small circular hole like a weld spot coming from there????:icon_scratch:

Just another pointer for indicator relays, I recommend this one, I have it myself (and I am using led rear indicators and the normal fronts):

It is a straight swap plug in, and is a similar phyisical size to the standard one so is easier to mount, compared to the common 'flash it' ones which are larger I believe, and also cost more. I got this one after lots of searching, it is one of the cheapest on ebay, and has the all important recorded delivery.

Like Maxwell says, it sounds like the water drain hole. So your exhaust doesn't rot from the inside due to condensation and/or washing.

cheers boys for the info
