Omron G8b-201-01 Jun 2026

Here are the standout good features of this relay:

This relay is a popular original equipment (OE) part for Honda models from the 1980s and 90s. It typically cross-references with Honda part numbers and 38301-ME9-771 . Known compatible models include: Honda Rebel series (e.g., CMX450). Honda Shadow and Magna (VF and VT series). Honda CB and CBR series (e.g., CBR600F, CBR900RR). Helpful Installation Tips

Due to its versatile nature, the G8B-201-01 finds use across multiple industries: omron g8b-201-01

:

The internal circuitry relies on an analog RC (resistor-capacitor) network connected to an internal electromagnetic coil. When you activate your turn signal switch, current flows through the circuit, charging the capacitor and triggering the relay to break and remake the contact. This rapid cycle creates the characteristic audible "clicking" sound and the rhythm of the flashing light. Primary Applications: Legacy Powersports Here are the standout good features of this

Because of its high reliability, Honda integrated the G8B-201-01 (and close variants like the G8B-211-01) into many flagship platforms throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s:

If you plan to upgrade your classic incandescent bulbs to energy-efficient LEDs, a mechanical relay like the original Omron will hyper-flash because LEDs draw minimal current. Modern digital relays are load-independent and handle LEDs natively. How to Install a Universal Replacement Honda Shadow and Magna (VF and VT series)

When vintage or modern metric bikes experience erratic turn signals, rapid flashing (hyper-flashing), or a complete failure of the blinkers to illuminate, this small black cube is almost always the component responsible. Technical Specifications and Design

: It often acts as a safety gate. It verifies that the bike is either in neutral or the clutch is pulled before allowing current to flow to the main starter solenoid.

The turn signals do not light up at all when the switch is engaged.
