Turn signals worked but now they don't
I'm almost done with my conversion to naked and am wiring up the front lights. Before I started the blinkers worked. Now all the lights work but they don't flash. I've got the front and rear turn signals wired and all works ONCE but not blinking. Do I need a new flasher? Thanks. Johnny

Re: Turn signals worked but now they don't
could be a flasher or the wrong bulbs in the turn signal housing. did you go LED? that would require a special flasher

No LEDs but aftermarket turn signals with bulbs of unknown specs. I am going to run over to Pep Boys and buy a flasher now and see what happens. Thanks.

Re: Turn signals worked but now they don't
Was the bike running? Sometimes while working in the shop with a low battery they will not flash right. Might try hooking up a charger to it and trying them again.

New electronic flasher... $12.99. Working signals... priceless. That did the trick. Thanks for the help.
