Indicators flashing to fast help please
hello all had this in another post ,so this area would be better ,when i got my bike last week my left hand indicator flashed to fast
Ive now changed them to after market indicators and they all do this they are not LEDS just normal bulbs
one member has suggested it could be a dodgy earth how can i check and fix it if this is the case ?
,im not to clued up about electrics but willing to try owt
Another thing is i have to keep my thumb on the switch for a good few seconds before they work this drives me bonkers
I haveva new relay coming incase it this
Thannks in advance ,
Any members selling a manual i think i need one

Instead of WD40, buy contact cleaner, that's what it's designed for.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Switch cleaner is the right thing. I have a similar issue with my indicators, when it's cold ( <5C ) they take around 4 seconds to come on, temperatures above this they come straight on. I have cleaned with switch cleaner but no change. I am thinking it must be something to do with metals contracting in cold weather. When I have time I will have to take the switch apart to see what goes on in there! Chris
