Default fast blinkers

I just put on a turn signal eliminator for the rears and have noticed that when the brake is on a short occurs and the blinkers blink rapidly. I assume this is normal, but is there any way to get rid of that and make them blink normal when the brake is on? I have stock tailights and front blinkers (no LED). Its an F3 too.

Is this occurring when you have a blinker on, or just when you apply the brake?

Only when the blinkers are on and I hit the brake. No blinker= brake works fine, no brake= blinkers blink at normal rate, blinkers+brake= rapid blinker blinking

I call it ADD/ADHD blinker. Look into some resistors.

Are your turn signal lights alot smaller than the stock ones? If so, the blinkers will go faster due to less resistance due to smaller bulbs...

What exactly did you install again? If its a clear alternatives this behavior doesn't seem right, even with the need for transistors. I'm wondering if you wired it right. You might have wired your turn signal wires (yellow on a Clear Alternatives) to your brake wires on the bike. (???)

my first f4i was like that installed the integrator i got off ebay on it and when the brake switch kicked in they blinked fast. It quit as soon as you let off the brake. Lot of people i know have had this happen its normal. Probably a simple fix to it but it doesnt bother me

You need to install a heavy duty flasher relay, that will solve the problem
