Watch this video please....

Post by ColumbiaBMW »

You all may remember me from the million turn signal questions I've asked in the past, my bike has always had problems with the turn signals, sometimes they blink fast, sometimes they blink normal, but now they are pretty much just always blinking fast. All the bulbs are new and greased, and the warning flashers work perfectly all the time, so I don't know what it is. If it was a ground problem like some suggest, wouldn't the warning flashers have this problem also?? I linked my YouTube video below that shows what I am talking about, it's getting really annoying having the blinkers work normal sometimes, and crazy other times. (Although I'll take this silly little annoyance over the dreaded spline failure ANY day. )

Just wanted to add one more thing. The signals work perfectly fine when the bike is cold and just started. This only happens after the bike starts warming up. So does that sound like the flasher module (am I calling it the right thing?) needs to be replaced?

Yes, it does. I think I still have my old one laying around from when I replaced it with the SM. IF, I have it, and you would like it to try it, I'd be happy to send it to you. You can just plug it in and see if it changes things.

Do you have a Kisan flasher unit (signal minder)?

I'm not familiar with your other posts.
