    Take one of your indicators off and measure the thread size....

    Before you order some new indicators just make sure that power is actually getting to the faulty indicator because if you arent then it's a wiring issue.

    Some replacement indicators would be fine then. Keep in mind that if you opt for some LED indicators you need the LED indicator relay to do with it or they will flash way too fast.

    First check wiring, check bulbs, remove indicators and measure the thread or take one as a sample with you to your parts supplier so you can compare thread size & pitch. Keep in mind that if you were to replace your indicators with LEDs that LEDs often have variable resistor ratings, meaning that the LED indicators might flash either too fast, or not flash at all - just a heads up.

    might be a bit late and you bought new ones but if anyone else looks at your thread

    I just bought a set of 4 trendy looking indicators for £11 ;)

    You can find the complete service manual with a wiring diagram for a simular bike at the link below

    http://www.mychinamoto.com/forums/showthread.php?2565

    According to said manual all of the ground wires are green and the positive wires are orange for the left indicators and sky blue for the right indicators.

    Good day to all,
    I owned a CPI DTR150 motorcycle or also known as sinnis trackstar in UK, obviously it's a chinese 150cc motorcycle, having problems with the turn signal and horn, it will only activate if I press the front brake lever and foot brake together, Tried tracing all the wires and found no breaks in the line or shorted wires, maybe some of you here have a wiring diagram of this motorcycle or any suggestions on how to troubleshoot the problem. I already search for the its wiring diagram but found nothing similar on the internet. http://www.hausmotors.com/motorcycles/sports-dtr-150/

    Possible poor earth
    Only gets enough earth of using other things etc
    Clean all earths
    Wires are very basic
    Check here for other Honda based bikes as yours might be the same basic idea
    What motor is in it? Also check if your switched work? Disconnect and check with a meter
