Default Blinker problems

I just bought a 954 and just noticed that the blinkers look like they do not flash at all untill you get up close and then it looks like they flicker really fast almost to where you can barely tell they are, any ideas how to make the blinker work properly?

I'd suggest posting a picture. I'm assuming you have aftermarket LEDs that are often underpowered. If you want something brighter, you will probably have to replace them.

An issue with aftermarket LEDs, they draw less current. Your bike is monitoring the current being used by your turn signals to ensure they are working properly (simplified quite a bit). This is a requirement by law. If the bike sees less current (because of LEDs), it will think a blinker is out, and alert the rider by flashing faster. You can put a power resister inline to each turn signal line to fix that.

I fixed it, It took two 8-ohm non-inductive resistors. 20-watt 5% tollerance. from radio shack, cost a total of 5 dollars in change.
