Installing HAZARD switch
Photo shown is the common block diagram of a turn signal wiring, wherein, when turn signal switch is activated, it will blink the turn signal lights left or right depending on the position of the switch. Front and rear signal lights are just parallel on each side.
More often, riders needs and want to install a HAZARD switch so that when activated will flash all signal lights to alert or inform other motorist to take caution on following you, that maybe you have some sorth of problem and or you are on a convoy.
HAZARD switch is so easy to do if you just follow your own bikes wiring diagram, by taking the common block diagram above only four components will be installed to have a hazard signal function.
- normally open push button switch
- 2 pcs of rectifier diode (ex: 1n4002)
- 3 pcs of stranded wire, prefer #18 AWG
- and an electronic flasher like on this link universal led flasher for leds or bulbs
Hazard Switch connection
The turn signal flasher on the block diagram will be replaced by your electronic flasher, aftermarket and or the DIY mentioned, and just follow the add on components, and voila, you have now a hazard function. no need for rewiring your old system.

its a KOSO immitation side mirror, with acrylic sheet placed inside and put leds to lit the sheet, just like my signalling BAR END. I wanted to create like those of a ford exped. van that has an arrow on the face of the mirror, but this immitation side mirror was not the type of mirror im looking for, those one way mirror like...Anyway, it still worth my patience.
THINGS needed to do the mods.
1. acrylic sheet size 3/4
2. metal polish
3. power tools, knife, mini drill,
4. sand papers, files,
5. patience

Electronic Turn Flasher for Led
Having problem flashing your signal lights when upgraded to Led type signal bulb. The answer is to change your original thermal flasher to an Adjustable electronic turn signal flasher for motorcycles..whats good about this is that we can control the rate of the flash of our signals that will depend on our liking..as slow rate to strobe rate..it took me months to discover on how to really blink a led on our motorcycles without any disgusting dummy load that prohibits the led to glow at the maximum brightness..but things change.and the time comes to offer to all of you.
size is just 0.5mm by 1.5mm
can be used to drive all signal lights with leds..or bulbs or combination of the two..
there are many aftermarket flasher offered at every motorcycle shop nationwide..but for me being an electronic enthusiast..OMG..some perform really bad...if not..cant do the job 100%.so why not build one for your needs.
picture show you the actual size fitted on the stock flasher terminal, a two pin flasher. The original was a thermal flasher that can only flash light bulbs, or filament type signal bulb.
video of the working finished unit plugged on the flasher turn signal flasher terminal.
the unit been tested on suzuki motorcycle, and will work on any model and brands too that incorporates a 2 pin flasher relay. It can also be use on stock filament bulb, or a combination of them.
