Location of the Flasher Relay

[Maskina]

Hello FJ owners!

I can't find the location of the Flasher Relay on my FJ1200 1991.

I've looked under the seat and between the sides.
I have limited tools at the moment, therefore I'm unable to check back and front.

If you know where the Flasher Relay hides, a finger point would be satisfactory.

Under the fairing, mounted on the fairing stay (sub frame) on the right side.

You've got to remove the fairing to get access to the flasher relay.

    The fact that the flasher relay looks nothing like a conventional unit , being integrated into another relay, makes it difficult to be sure on it's identity. The good news : that portion of the assembly can be isolated externally and replaced with an aftermarket el cheapo flasher relay.
  I have a picture of this conversion that I will post here as soon as I can locate same.
      Cheers

   Pictures.
I think the flasher relay is coupled with the starter relay, pictured here. The brown wires circled, are where the aux flasher relay is installed . Your relay may be polarity sensitive, it won't hurt to try it either way.

On the 1988-1990 models. The flasher relay is a stand alone relay located on the main frame in the area of the fairing sup-frame on the left hand side.

  It's good that the relay is marked as such. This should make things a little less confusing. Lots of wires showing. Does it do anything else besides flash the signals? The earlier units were self cancelling too,mmm, that warrants a bit of research.

   OK, I see the hazard business and the red button on the left side switch. Is this a European bike?

[aviationfred]

The photo in the opening post is a European or Australian bike. The red button is a flash to pass button. USA spec bikes did not have that option. The flasher relay does nothing except flash the turn signals. The self canceling feature is actually part of the speedometer.

   Fred,
  You know how much I hate to argue a minor point, however, if you look at the picture that shows the late flasher relay, you should be able to read the script thereon, I see the word "hazard" The defense
rests.

         Fred,
   A second review of that nice 1200 reveals a total of three switches visible on the left. the script is nearly legible , it looks like 'hazard' just above the red button.
  Perhaps the owner might shed some light on this little issue. I'm all ears!

Simon, this is the European switch block with the hazard and high beam flash function, there is no headlight on/off switch.

      Hey Noel,
  The picture says it all, ,however I'm gonna guess that the grey rocker is hi/low,and the black slider to it's left is the hazard switch. Or is it the other way 'round?
