Kiwi_Roy Posted November 14, 2009 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$34.70 I suggest you try to combine with a friend to cut down on postage My V11 has 2 SPDT and 3 SPST but I elected to go with all SPDT The 5 pin relay will replace the 4 pin relay without any wiring changes. The relays appear to be the sealed variety G8HN-1C2T-R RATED 20A for normally open, 10A for normally closed www.digikey.com http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch...p;x=17&y=14 Roy
Steve G. Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 I did exactly the same 3 yrs ago, from the same guys. There have been no issues since, none. Best 30$ anyone can spend on the spine frame. Steve
gavo Posted November 15, 2009 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

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
