Hi
I just installed these turn signal on my bike but it doesn't flash...

I have kawasaki kz750 81 with self cancelled turn signal but i doesn't work, i put on manual cancel.
i put my old bulb light in my new socket and everything work fine
but the old bulb are too big to fit in my new lens...
anybody have the same trouble of mine?
Thank a lot!

Hi Philk7, welcome to the KZR Nation. Great to have another Montreal KZ650 here.
It is quite common to find that new turn signals do not flash. This is typically due to the fact that they do not draw enough current for the original flasher control.
The typical solution is to use a bulb that draws more current. But a much better solution is to go to Canadian Tire with your current fasher and get a plug-in electronic model that works with less current. They are only a little more expensive.
Best of success.

Philk7, good stuff! 
Do you have the price, the brand, the name and the part number so other members can use this solution if necessary?
A picture of the package would be great. :dry:
Best of success.
