Electrics = fun
Firstly ![Welcome](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/welcome.gif) to the HUBB
Sounds like some bad connections and possibly a new flasher unit.
Make sure all pushin elec connectors are clean of corrosion, it means time to check and clean. Check for bad Earth.
When I went to Mr. Yamaha in Oz for a flasher unit, they wanted $119.00AUD.
I fell over at that price and bought a car unit for $4.95. this works a treat, and if it fails in 12 months, I can buy 20 of the car units for the price of one genuine yamaha unit.
Cheers from Oz.

Yes Bacardi,
After picking myself off the floor, the salesman said that this was old stock and been sitting for 2 years, and he could do the flasher unit (GENUINE YAMAHA) for $80.00AUD. I asked if it was gold plated, not much sense of humor in that man.
Cheers from Oz

by flasher unit do you mean the little "square" black box that has a rubber band and attaches to the side of the battery box?
(84 has batttery right? :confused1: )
If it's the part I tried to explain I bought one for 7€ two years ago..
I'm gonna check if there are any on ebay that works for you!

Thats the little ###ker
Hi Bacardi,
Yes, thats the price I was quoted for a Genuine Yamaha Flasher unit (little rectangle with rubber support) from a local dealer in Dandenong. I wont out them as their is an alternative as I found out. The car flasher unit ($4.95 at repco) is doing a fine job, so i see no reason to change as it works, I did check the amount of lights (wattage) and all that so no probs.
Cheers from Oz.
