I have a 6 volt battery/system in my bike. The turn signals on my Suzi stay on but won't flash on and off. I am using 6 volt lights in the signals. I have tried both a 6 and 12 volt flasher, same results; lights stay lit without flashing.
My headlight keeps burning out, I have tried both 6 volt and 12 volt bulbs. 6 volt lights have no chance. 12 volt bulbs are fine when bike is idling, when I give it gas the bulb burns brighter and brighter until it blows.
In the headlight bucket, the electrical hub, there are 3 wires that are not connected to anything. 2 are attached to the bolts that attach the bucket to the front forks, ground wires I'm assuming, but not connected to anything. The 3rd wire is a brown white striped wire with double female connectors at the end, not connected to anything.
I tested the voltage at the signal lights before and after replacing a blown 2 olm resistor with a new 2.4 olm resistor. It read 7.5 volts before and after replacing the resistor.
IDEAS?

I had a 74 TS 250, Iwish I could remember more about it, but, 30+ years is a long time. Anyway, as far as I can remember the bike didn't really have a voltage regulator, as Guardrailjim suggested I think it was just a balanced system. Just about every 6 volt bike I have ever worked on has poor directionals, frequently they will need the engine running in order to little extra voltage in order to flash. Regarding the wires in the head light bucket the two attached to bolts are ground wires, usually for the turn singles, check to see what your present directional grounding method is. Regarding the headlight bulb, try getting the stock specified bulb for a replacement, like I said I can't remember what that bike had, but, if the head and tailight are on an AC system the bulb may not be your ordinary 6 or 12 volt bulb.

I was going to say the regulator, but "gdwrnch40" beat me to it LOL
--Put a volt meter at the battery and rev the bike. Over 7.5 volts and the regulator could be bad.
--Make sure the battery is making a good connection to ground.
--Bikes with 6 volt batteries usually run on a balanced system. If the battery is removed, the excess voltage of the charging system would be directed to the headlight and burn it out. A dead battery (or one that won't take a charge) - same thing.
--If the battery was weak, or not making a good ground, the flasher relay won't work properly.

I was recently given a 1981 TS 250 that runs and drives great. I started working on the bike to get it road worthy as it has been sitting on a farm for the last 10 years and I realized that the reason the light, turns signals and everything else wasn t working was because there is no battery. After further investigation, I realized that the wiring that goes to the battery is missing as well. What I do not know, and haven t been able to find on the great world wide web, is what wires I m missing, and where they go to and from. I have found diagrams covering the entire electrical system, however that s like trying to read a different language. Any help on this matter would be absolutely great. Thanks.

As Guardrailjim said your snatch plates are probably stuck. My old Triumph used to do this each and every spring. One trick you may attempt is have someone provide you with a push or roll down a small hill. positioned the motorbike in equipment and at the same time as preserving the snatch lever in bypass for a experience, in many circumstances in case you pump the throttle on and rancid the snatch plates will ruin loose and commence functioning excellent. If that isn't do it you need to pull the snatch disguise, then presure plate and bodily pry the plates aside one at a time.

Regulator assembly.
