Match up the schematics. You may have to hack off the oem plug and use blade connectors. You can also go the resistor route. The led flashers will not work with the factory relay w/out resistors at all. It's very touchy with loads.

Yeah thats what happens with LED indicators, do a search the subject has been covered in the past. Does the Led flasher unit only have 2 connections? if so you need to connect the brown and brown/white wires from the stock 5 pin flasher relay, to it. That said the indicators will not self cancel anymore. You may wana get a warning buzzer of ebay aswell. Next thing to do (if you have the old shitty 4 pin VR fitted) is cut the stock indicator connector off and use it to upgrade to a 5 pin VR, the indicator plug is a perfect fit, heres the how to

hi,
Yup bang my head a few times with this in the past, George said the big 4 jap bike makers basically use two types of flasher relay HOnda has their own layout of pins where Yam,kawa, suzuki have a different pin layout.
Look at the original flasher relay it is marked with a weirdo number like 31,49a,49 on the pin side of the cube they relate to a standard pin out for that relay any replacement relay for the LED flashers must bear those numbers.
I also remember Y-G putting up an electronic wiring diagram to make your own electronic "relay" for LED's and it is either on his site OR in the wiki here, knowing him.
