1981 KZ650 CSR flasher relays

Hi everyone. First time poster here. I got my KZ 650 CSR a couple of weeks ago and the turn signal relays are corroded so I am replacing them. It appears that the specs on two flashers are different. Is this the case?

I was wondering what a good replacement for the hazard relay would be? Any links would be great. The ones on the OEM parts websites that I found are between 30-45 dollars which seems crazy to me.

Is it possible to use the same ones for both flasher relays?

Thanks,

Mike

Take your flasher relays to the nearest auto parts store, and see what they've got. They also have the electronic version, so if in the future, you use LED's, it will work, but the stock ones will not work with LED's due to lower resistances.

I did that and they had the one to replace the turn signal relay but not the one for the hazards.

On my bike,the hazard and turn signal relays/flasher cans are the same, a 2 pin connector from the harness plugs into them.

update:

I decided to get LED flahers and flasher relays. After some cleaning, trial and error, and yelling I decided to recheck the left hand controls.

I opened up the part and basically the wires just fell apart. Went to a salvage warehouse in the area (Baltimore Cycle Salvage) and got new hand controls for the left and right side.

now I have a high beam, low beam, blinkers, and hazards!

but...

[/ul]when I put the blinkers on and push the button to the left the left blinker blinks but the right indicator on the bar blink


[/ul]When I push the button to the right the right blinker blinks but the left indicator blinks.


[/ul]when I put the button to high beam the low beam is on, when I shift to the the low beam on the high beam comes on.


The wiring on this is very messed up. You do not even want to see the inside of the headlight. It is a work in progress haha

Thoughts?

If needed, there's a wiring diagram in KZr's FILEBASE that may be helpful.

Thanks Patton.
I had this diagram but this one is much clearer. With so many of the wires on the bike being cut, it is hard to figure out where they all go.
Even with the diagram.
