  I have no problem with the flash rate on the signals themselves, that can be changed with the magnet. The problem I'm having is with a hyper-fast turn signal indicator light in the instrument panel. I will try the TST flasher relay and is if this cures the problem.

Your instrument panel flash rate should match your signal flash rate (flash speed, not blinker pattern).   If I turn the relay faster or slower, the signals and instrument panel are in sync.

Thanks for confirming that @betoney.  It’s certainly what I would have expected, as the Super Tenere signal swap on my bike had everything blinking too fast until I swapped the relay.

 Thanks, I will order one tomorrow.

My 10 mile commute somehow became a 40 mile commute though... weird.

I know, right?   Happens to me all the time... weird.  

Wife: “I thought you were going to pick up breakfast tacos?”

Self: “Yeah, I did.”

Wife: “That was four hours ago...”

Self: “Well, yeah, but look... I have breakfast tacos!”

Bounced it about in the garage a bit....

 

Did you notice different noises when you bounce the forks now @piotrek? Mine now make loud sucking noises when the forks extend due to the enlarged rebound circuit working.

Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

Installed Speed Bleeders and bled the brakes. Wow... I am a believer. 🤩

Even though I have a Motion Pro brake bleeder, I have been thinking about installing these, did you use standard or stainless steel?

Standard. I considered stainless, but the bike never really sees harsh conditions and is pampered in the off-season. OE bleeder's been on there all this time and came out in perfect shape. I'd be putting stainless on my cars for sure. Lost an argument or two over the years.

Sorry... don't remember where I bought (last winter), but look-up SB8125L and SB8125LL (longer). There are a couple of reputable brands, Speed Bleeder and Goodridge. I found this application table... lists SB8125 for the rear, but the 'L' is a good length (in my previous photo). Front right OE bleeder has an o-ring on it... just an FYI. Replace it with the LL bleeder and done. Photo shows the two types used, and what came off the bike.

@piotrekperfect. Thanks a lot for the comparison pictures.

 

After my last post I did figure out the part #s but the picture you provided was worth more. I think I'm going to order some. Revzilla has them but the "LL" are unavailable.
