This mod is for making an regular relay into an LED relay. The 2010 bikes Came with LED signals already, so yours is already an LED relay. This mods not for you if I'm correct.

only my tail light is LED. turn signals are bulbs, I put LEDs in the rear and it flashes fast and if I put them in the front aswell it will stay on and buzz.

Q: I have LED turn signals... with a smal blackbox and a resistor which need quite some space under the seat. WITH THE MOD WILL THE LEDS WORK WITHOUT THE RESISTOR AND BLACKBOX???? thx

Done this today, thanks for the idea cyclic, just thought id post my opinions and give some better insructions on what to do.

Well, it works!, however it does flash just slightly quicker than id like it too, not fast enough to fail an MOT test(UK) but still slightly faster than usual.

Here's some photos:

I did this mod a couple weeks ago for my new LED flashers and it worked great for my 07XB9SX. I had a very hard time trying to get that dumb relay open though. I ended up using a hacksaw and cut around the bottom of the relay until I could slide out the circuit board. I cut the leg off the chip and epoxied it all back together.

Has anyone bought one of these cheap ass LED flasher relays off ebay? They should do the job.

free mods rock! Just used a knife and cut the contact on the back of the board, works like a charm.

This one works if anyone is looking for a cheap LED flasher relay.

I did the mod exactly how u desciped... removed the blackbox and resistor and the LED just burned out (Rizoma)... WTF is wrong

Outfreakingstanding!

Just did it...worked like a charm...a very elegant solution. I was able to cut the epoxy around the edge, while I kept the old epoxy intact, then pry the holding tabs to the side with a couple mini-screwdrivers to slide it out. I used a Dremel with a very small grinding bit to grind the circuit board connection. I clicked it all back together and edged it with electrical tape. Thanks! [up]

Worked perfect on my 09 xb9sx. Thanks. Knocked this out at the same time I installed my Clear Alternatives integrated rear brake/turn signals.

Thanks for the info. I will definitely be doing this mod.

Just did the mod, and it works great. Definitaly worth doing. It took me about fifteen minutes and cost only $0.00. my relay popped open easily (I had to pry 2 small plastic tabs with a small screwdriver to get the housing off) I then scratched the trace open with an exacto knife (like Rudirulez posted above)
