Blinky Blinky issues

[Road-Kill]

I noticed my right turn signal blinks much faster then my left signal. Is this normal? This is the major issue in my life right now so I need it resolved. Should I never turn right again? In all seriousness.......is this normal?

Both the right bulbs and dash indicator blink super fast after about 4 seconds of turning the right turn signal on. I checked all the bulbs and they all work....thoughts anyone?

Sounds kind of like 'Hyper Blinker'. Do you have any LED's installed?

Try this and maybe it will fix it:



1. Turn the bike on.
2. Hold down the hazard light switch on for 30-45 seconds.

3. Turn the hazards off and put the right signal on and turn the bike off right after the first blink on the blinker.
4. Repeat the same process for the left side.

This is normally a symptom of a bulb out or circuit issue. The computer is not getting a reading from each bulb in the circuit.

But as you say everything is working on the right side I'm not sure what else to check?

I tried the "circuit reset" and it worked! What I do not understand is why it happened. I have added no LEDs nor did I mess with the system....dunno but the reset worked. Thanks everyone for the feedback. :yes:

Just a thought the computer may have detected a loose wire or bulb .......Mike :thumbup:

Its funny you mention that. I was recently at the dealer for a blown tail light and noticed the rapid blinking some time afterwards. Interesting the computer is that sensitive, a learning experience indeed. Thanks

Did the dealer replace the bulb with the correct one?

I dont know. I'm not about to dismantle the taillight to see, regardless I still could not tell what is spec. I also can not say for sure if the rapid blinking started before or after the taillight went out because I was told by a fellow rider it was out. For all I know it was out when I bought it 4 months ago but I noticed the raipd blinking recently. So far the reset has worked. I'm still questioning the ultra sensitivity of the computer. Maybe it is made to do that to alert the rider something is afoul?

The tail lights on the F3 are super easy to get to... just pop the rear seat off and you can then twist the bulbs out.

Glad it's sorted. That reset trick is a useful one to know.

All above wrong. You have too much blinker fluid in the right bulb.
