They'll work, depending on what resistors they have fitted. Most Jap bikes need 21w resistors, Aprilias need 10w.

The power rating of the resistors is not that relevant - it will only tell you the maximum power they can cope with.

What you need to know is the resistance so that you can ensure that the current drawn is equivalent to that which the bulbs you are replacing will draw.

..... or change the flasher unit for an electronic one that will flash at a constant rate whatever the load - and dispense with the resistors all together

i really need some one nearby who can solder to do that diode mod

though i may just take the clocks off and post them to noojella....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
