DIY hazzard lights ninja 250 should work on 300

I just got done installing some hazard lights on my bike and thought I'd share how to do it. This
method works on bikes with either the tridon ep34 relay that I sell with my LED Ilushmounts or
with the stock relay & lights. I don't know about other relays so you'll need to experiment on your
own.
Things you'll need:
On/OII switch- You can Iind them on Ebay or online Ior ~$18
2 N4001 Diodes. I bought a pack oI two Irom radio shack Ior $1.40
Either 18 or 20 gauge wiring- About 4' total or as long as necessary
3 Wire taps- make sure they're sized Ior 18 - 20 gauge
Either: Soldering Iron, solder, heatshrink/electrical tape and/or butt splices/ quick
disconnects and electrical tape
The handle bar switch should be Ior a 7/8" bar. You can also use a regular waterprooI switch Irom
an electronics store, although mounting it will be up to you.
I mounted the controls on the leIt bar next to the clutch lever.
You'll need to extend the wires oI the switch. For the switch I used, the orange wire was the power
wire. You will attach the power wire to the Orange power wire oI the relay harness. The other wire
on the switch was green. What happens is when you turn it on, the switch completes a circuit and
the green wire is able to send power to the lights. Route the wires like stock.
You should have the leIt rear Iairing and seats oII. You'll need to Iish out some wires. First wire will
be the Ilasher relay. Easy to get to and pull out a bit. There are two wires. One that is solid orange
and orange w/ green stripe. You will tap the power wire Irom the switch to the solid orange wire.
(Iorgive the black residue on the solid orange wire. I had electrical tape on there)
I extended the switch's orange wire with a blue wire. Tap into the solid orange wire oI the relay with
a wire tap.
Next Iish out the two harnesses connecting to the rear blinkers. One will be green and one will be
gray. In this picture, you'll see that I tapped into a black wire. That's because it's my alarm's splice.
The green wire below leads to one oI the blinkers. The other end that's not in the picture is the gray
wire. This harness runs along the side oI the rear Iairing. For the power heading to the lights, you
will need to extend the other wire coming oII the switch. From this extension, you will need to split
it into a Y; each branch will connect to either the green or gray wires. You will need to solder in the
two diodes on the Y so that the silver mark on the diode is closer to the bike side and not the switch
side. See my diagram below. Use heat shrink or electrical tape to wrap the diodes up and tap the two
wires on the bike.
Here's the green wire you'll want to tap into:
Once you've tapped into both wires, just put your Iairings back together and that's it!
I Iorgot to mention that the other wire coming oII the switch is the wire you use to tap into both
gray and green blinker wires.
Here's a wire diagram:
The basic circuit is that the orange wire Irom the relay is constantly at 12v while the key is in the
On position in the ignition. When you close the circuit, in this case switching the switch to "On," it
closes the circuit and sends voltage to lights. In the stock switch, it depends on whichever circuit
you're closing to activate the blinkers. In this situation, we're closing the circuit and providing
power to both sets oI lights.
I should also mention that even though it does work with the stock relay, it didn't sound very good.
It sounded like the relay was struggling. II you want to upgrade the relay, purchase the ep34 and put
a ground wire on the E pin. This may very well work on the pregen models as well, but someone
would have to veriIy with a Iactory manual.
