i just put l.e.d blinkers on a 07 xb9sx now when you turn the blinker on it just makes the blinker relay buz and the turn signal just stays lit solid, no flashing.
i tried a l.e.d flasher relay that i had but it would not work. not sure what the problem is . i see the stock relay says ABS on it. i did not think that they had ABS? anyway let me know what you think.

thanks shawn

hey,
start the bike then try them... they most likely work.
I had the same problem then took the bike around the block and they work while the bike is running and just buzzz when its not.

i bought my LED flasher from American Sport Bike and it works perfectly with my LED turn signals. I would guess that it is you flasher that is the problem

The problem is that the stock flasher needs a resistive load in order to work.

Two ways of providing that:

1. Easy way. Buy Flasher from American Sport Bike.

2. Cheap way: Install 10 ohm, ten watt wire wound resistors across both the left and right flasher circuits. I installed mine under the seat. I bought the resistors at Radio Shack.

That's all there is to it.
