Fast Blinker

Post by Bluehenrider »

I just noticed my right turn signal blinks extremely fast. I am assuming a relay somewhere is going bad.

Maybe the wrong bulbs.

My bike has had the same problem for over a year now, and I've started a couple of posts about it. I've taken it to the shop (they couldn't duplicate the issue since it only does it sometimes, so they couldn't do anything), I've replaced the bulbs, and I even bought a new turn signal relay off someone on here, and that didn't do any good either. Good luck figuring it out, and be sure to let me know what it is when it gets fixed.

Fast blinker stopped on it's own. No idea why.

Hi there!

I had same problem but i've solved it.
The bulbs in the bike where 10 watt and the default is 21 watt that was the problem maybe, when the bulbs are too big you can buy smaller bulbs but when you need yellow, you must paint it.
The 21 watt smaller bulb: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTOMOTIVE-LIGH ... 4d00e7ba07
I hope it was useful..

The issue will most likely come back again, mine always does that too. It will blink fast, go away a few days, do it again. And I went through everything like checking all the wires, indicator bulbs, even bought a new flasher relay. Nothing ever worked, but then tonight I saw this thread on advrider:

So after reading about how the problem came from his pilot light in the head light, I went and checked mine, and sure enough it was completely burnt out. So tomorrow on my way home, I will definitely be stopping for a new bulb, and hope that solves my problem.
