This is the same flasher relay for the 2011+ GSXR750, does this 7 pin Suzuki flasher relay have the same slight delay between pressing the button and first flash that the 2 pin relay models have? Also is there adjustment for flash rate?
The relays typically have 1/2 of flash cycle delay because they start in the off state and then go on. If 85 cycles per minute is the flash rate, then each on/off cycle takes 1/85 of a minute (0.706 seconds). This means that as you initiate the signal with your finger it takes 0.35 seconds before the light turns on. If the rider is using signal lights as per instructions in every driver education handbook, and also according to common sense, then the 0.35 seconds of off state is inconsequent to the signaling intent. If the rider is trying to signal at the same time as making the move, then any way the signaling is accomplished does not warn the traffic around as to what will be happening, because it is already in progress.
@@TSTindustries Wow that was a really defensive / passive aggressive response. Could have just said; "yes they have the same delay as the TST 2 pin flasher relays" Don't disagree with what you said about best practice road singling behaviours. Having said that, as not all flasher relays function in this way, so knowing the delay is something that bothers me, I sought to clarify so I could make an informed choice.
@@IN_ZANE_ when a question is asked and one of the engineers answers it here, it is typically treated as what/how/why in the answer attempt. The aim is to give full spectrum info to empower the prospective customer to make a choice based on the best available data. I dont see how that came across as defensive, since the question itself was not offensive. Passive aggressive.... I don't even know how to defuse that one other than just saying that I was 100% emotionally neutral during typing that message.

Will I need a relay if I'm using and led headlight bulb
This telay is for the signaling circuit. Your headlight swap will not require the replacement of any relays.
