I recently purchased a 1971 kawasaki enduro motorcycle with a 6 volt electrical system. I have to install turn signals on the bike to make it street legal. I couldn't find 6 volt turn signals to easily install on it so I decided to install 12 volt led turn signals since they are readily available and very inexpensive. I used a 6-12 v converter board to bump the voltage up and I bought a 12 volt electronic led flasher. When I turned the key to the on position the turn signals worked flawlessly. When I started the bike the turn signals just stayed on steady. I then made my own flasher using a 555 timer and that one flickers very quickly when the bike is running. I am thinking the problem is noise from the ignition system or the magneto on the bike, I'm just looking for an easy way to isolate that from the flasher circuit so my lights can flash like they do on battery power alone.
