Re: I have just bourt a new flasher unit for my zx9r b1...
Check the water level in the battery and add water to cover the top of the plates. Charge the battery. Replace it if it will not take a charge. A weak battery can cause the problem.

the switch is at the end of the handle but more common to fail is the flasher unit the flasher unit will cause the turn signal light to turn on and not flash if they flash fast check the bulbs ii the flasher is a small can shaped part under the dash near the base of the steering colum there is two one for the 4 way flashers and one for the turn signals
So you hear the flasher working? If you put your finger on the unit when it's flashing you will feel the one that is working. It is possible that the new unit doesn't look exactly like the old one, but if the electrical connection is the same, it should be alright. Some cars have two flashers, one for the turns, and one for the hazard lights. And some cars use a composite flasher that is for both the turns and the hazard lights. Keep looking. It should be up in there, possibly just to the right or just to the left of the steering column. If you still can't find it, check with a Suzuki dealer for the location...Or, go to www..autozone.com. and register there for free. You can list your car there, make, model, year, and engine, and you will find some good repair info there, along with component locations. It may tell you where that flasher is. Good luck.
On your '87 model, you probably have a bad flasher unit. It still used the "old style" flasher unit rather than the new Turn Signal Microprocessor that Harley went to in 1991. If it's the original, it's a round "can" in the headlight housing, part number 68543-64B (or you can use a heavy duty automotive unit #552). There's usually a clip that holds it on the side of the housing. Also, make sure that all your bulbs are lit up. If you have a bad bulb in one of the sockets, it won't flash on that side. I think all the bulbs are supposed to be #1156 bulbs.
I'm not sure your '90 model FLT has a "flasher" as you might think. It may have the turn signal cancelling unit. The way to tell is if when you depress the turn signal switch and let it go, does the light continue to flash for about 15 seconds? If so, you have a turn signal cancelling module instead of the a conventional flasher unit. If when you let off on the switch, the light stops flashing immediately, you have the old style flasher. I can't remember when they changed to the module in all the different modules.
If it has a module, it's probably under the seat the tank. If it's a standard flasher, it's probably behind the headlight.
When you say you replaced "flasher" I'm guessing you mean the combination turn signal flasher unit. If the hazards "flash" on the 4 way but the turn signal does not you are looking at a turn signal switch type problem. ... If 4way flashers do NOT work you need to check wiring immediately around the flasher unit mounting area.Or change Flasher unit Good Luck.
On my 2001 (same as 97) Cavalier under the steering column is a flap
that is held in place by one torx screw. Drop that and you should be
able to look way up and see the wires coming out of the flasher unit.
The unit is attached to something metal by not much. Grab the whole
assembly (flasher unit and its plug) and wiggle it free. Then you can
separate the flasher unit and its plug. BTW the old unit was bright
green or maybe that is some kind of cover that helps to reattach it but
I didn't bother.
