I received my F1 missing a rear right turn signal. I bought a OEM one and wired it up and it worked fine a few weeks ago.

I just registered the bike yesterday and have been riding it, but noticed that my turn signals blink rapidly like a bulb is missing, but all of them work. This wasn't an issue a few weeks ago. The front turn signals also stay lit slightly when the key is turned on. . . is this because they are considered running lights too or is this abnormal behavior?

My turn signal switcher is also really sticky and refuses to activate the turn signals sometimes. I've fixed these before on other bikes so I will clean it up and everything. Could this potentially be an issue with the fast blink as well?

 

Possibly. Usually the fast blink is because the electrical load is not enough to heat the thermal flasher up enough between blinks, causing it to short cycle. Smaller bulbs or LEDs can also cause a fast blink. The wrong flasher module can also cause it. If, after cleaning the controls, it still fast blinks, throw a LED safe flasher in to take it's place. It should slow it back down.

 

If that does not work, check the resistance of a factory light. Compare it to your current light. Calculate the difference and install a resistor in-line to match the factory. Then you should be good.

I mention the previous owner broke the headlight mounting tabs and a new headlight was required to get the front fairing to align. This is the condition of the harness and the left switch connected the left black was just a tad loose. Have a horn and turn signals. I don’t know why i don’t record this. That was so much help without removing the relay and checking I would’ve been lost.

 

heh, heh, so many little things to deal with!

Just figured out why my rear brake wasn't working. Someone had installed spring in master-cylinder backwards!!! grrr...
