Kiwi_Roy Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I just recieved a set of 5 relays from Digi-Key, $4.60 each. The postage to Canada $11.75 total US$34.70 I suggest you try to combine with a friend to cut down on postage My V11 has 2 SPDT and 3 SPST but I elected to go with all SPDT The 5 pin relay will replace the 4 pin relay without any wiring changes. The relays appear to be the sealed variety G8HN-1C2T-R RATED 20A for normally open, 10A for normally closed www.digikey.com http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch...p;x=17&y=14 Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve G. Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I did exactly the same 3 yrs ago, from the same guys. There have been no issues since, none. Best 30$ anyone can spend on the spine frame. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavo Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I think the relay's get a raw deal. my bike showed all signs of crook relay's, went to auto electrician and he checked thre relay's , they were fine accept for the odd loose case however I bought 5 new ones and replaced them anyway. 8 mths later same problems, the fittings that the relay's plug into are crap and a high quality replacement is on the cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My relay bases are the variety with slip in spade connectors. It's possible to slip these out by releasing the clip with a small nail so they can be replaced or squeezed with a pair of pliers to tighten them up. I will smear a little vaseline on the prongs before I put them in, this makes them easier to pull out and helps prevent corrosion. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
