|  Just bought my first bike. Now I have a question. Does anybody know if a "flasher" and a load regulator are the same thing? Previous owner of the bike bought all new turn signals and stated that all it needed now was a "flasher". My local bike shop said it sounded like I needed a load regulator. Any help would be certainly appreciated. Thank you. Oh yeah, the bike is a 1985 Suzuki SP 250.

| The flasher makes the signals flash, so if your's is shot or missing the signals will not work. But if you now have LED turn signals, then they do not pull enough current to make the flasher work correctly. So you need either an expensive electronic flasher specifically designed for LED signals, or a load regulator, which makes the stock flasher work correctly.

 You need to get more information from the "previous owner". Good luck with that. What that statement usually means is: "I made this mod. but never could quite get it to work right. Now it's YOUR problem."
