1. You need an LED-rated flasher. That will fix the "no flash". Alternatively, you could add resistors to add back the load the stock flasher needs but that kind of defeats part of the reason for getting LED's and you need to wire extra stuff in.

2. The stock indicator bulb in the gauges works by reversing polarity and grounding through the bulb filaments of the "off" side. LED's are low enough power that it actually lights them up. Removing the indicator bulb in the gauge will stop this or there is a wiring harness with a diode you can buy.

3. This topic has been discussed dozens of times so a search of the forum will provide more details if you want them.

If you're in a hurry to ride the bike with working signals you need to do one of two things.. remove the indicator bulb in the gauge and get an LED-rated flasher unit... or go back to original turn signal bulbs.

Here's one thread that covers much of what you need to do to get the gauge light to work. yamaha-enduros.com/index.php/forums/1977...lasher-issue?start=0

A search for LED flashers will yield a lot of results. Here's a recent one with a good flasher unit recommendation from Mako. yamaha-enduros.com/index.php/forums/74-7...-flasher-relay#97945

What blinkers are those?

They look a bit like some of the Kuryakyn or that other brand of LED blinkers, but I thought they were all 12v. I'm not 100% on your bike, but I am assuming it's 6V if my 75 DT175B is 6v.

That's probably going to come into play also.

USA model twin shock 125 Enduros had a 12v DC generator/starter system.
