What should I check now?

Ladies and Gents:
In the ongoing effort of keeping my bike in tip top shape I have failed. It was ran over by a truck and everything still worked.
Now my front right blinker blinks rapidly, and the back right blinker does nothing at all. Its a bulb right? Replaced bulb, still doing the same thing. So tell me Grandmaster of the r1150r.net, what should I check next?

Perhaps a broken wire going to the rear blinker on that side?

I think that may be the case. A quick check for voltage in the socket might be in order.

The blinker speed is controled by the bulb load on the blinker system, the fact that one blinker blinks faster and another doesn't blink at all means that the non blinking is either burnt out or out of line...
Since you already replaced the bulb, look for a broken connection...

Bored at work (Caterpillar) I took my multi-meter out and looked for said broker wire. No Broker wire. However when testing with meter, I short out the ground for the bulb and it lit up like a Christmas tree, bent piece just a little more than 2 degrees, contact left, contact right...its alive, its alive, its alive. No more said problems. And Caterpillar thinks I am a Engineer of some sorts (robotic)
