Where is the motorcycle flasher located?
2 Answers
Motorcycle flashers are generally located inside the left plastic cover, corresponding to the position of the battery. For cross-type motorcycles, the flasher is installed under the seat cushion. For scooter motorcycles, the flasher is installed under the front plastic shell of the head. More relevant information is as follows: 1. The flasher is a flashing device used to indicate changes in the direction of the vehicle. It is a component of the turn signal. Turn signals are relatively prone to damage with prolonged use. If the turn signal is damaged, it needs to be replaced immediately, otherwise it will affect driving safety. 2. Flashers come in various shapes, some square, some round, and some very small, but their functions are all the same.
I've been riding motorcycles for many years. The flasher relay is usually located near the battery box or under the seat, with positions varying by brand. For example, Honda often places it under the rear seat, while Yamaha might have it inside the side cover. When checking it yourself, turn off the engine and disconnect the positive battery terminal for safety. Open the relevant cover and look for a small black box-shaped relay. If the turn signals don't blink, a faulty flasher is a common cause, and you can replace it with a new one.

Safety first—consult the manual or a professional before working on it. Avoid forcing connectors open to prevent damaging the wiring.
