For the Yamaha 1981 400 Special II:

I need a flasher unit. The ne I tried from auto parts store does not work, and a new one from bike Bandit costs almost $200 8O !

Nothing on eBay that matches.

Its a 3 blade unit Much of the info is rubbed off the case but what I see is:

NI------DENSC
N-------257CD
12.8V----5c/m
27WX2+3.4W
061300-5551
Japan
DOT A 3944
The '----' symbolize rubbed off and unreadable data.

Any leads guys?

Can You toss a pic of it up?

Don't feel bad. I was mounting a light bar (retro mounting) on Big Dave's Victory Kingpin last week.....did everything exactly as it should be done and cooked an ACM. (Auto-Cancel Module) for the blinkers. 300.00 :evil:

I'm about done with free wrenching.

Post a pic....i'll nose around.

What about this:

I tried cleaning the contacts, etc, the old one is good for maybe one click and that's it.

FastDoc · 05-23-2010, 11:11 PM

I'm very surprised the auto parts store flasher unit did not work, Doc! I think an electronic flasher unit from either NAPA, or Auto Zone should work well for you.

I would bring the Yamaha flasher unit into the store, and have the clerks match the terminals for you. If an electronic flasher unit will not work, I would buy an LED flasher unit from Rocky Mountain ATV.

It is a Nippon Denso unit. That will at least fill in the first blank.

I am pretty sure you can buy this same flasher relay at Auto Zone, Doc.

You can buy it at Auto Zone, and test it on your bike. If it does not work, Auto Zone will gladly give you a refund.

I'm with spud, An electronic should do the trick.

FastDoc · 05-24-2010, 11:12 AM

Wilco.

We a\have an Autozone in town I'll check it out.

Reveeen · 05-24-2010, 07:01 PM

I have an '82 in my shed (400 yamaha-ha "special") in bits...just say the word and I'll look (it may take a day or two, it's buried).

FastDoc · 05-24-2010, 07:07 PM

I'd love it! Thanks!

Don't look just yet. I'll see if the Autozone unit works and let you know.
