dacheedah Posted August 4, 2012 #1 Posted August 4, 2012 Ok tonight everything is working fine then I started getting a fast flash on right turn signal. Checked all lights and they are fine, left turn works normally. Any thoughts??
BuddyRich Posted August 4, 2012 #2 Posted August 4, 2012 Fast flash usually means a burnt out turn signal on the side that is fast
dacheedah Posted August 4, 2012 Author #4 Posted August 4, 2012 What I thought but they are all lit and nothing even dim . . . ., maybe I pull and clean
Flyinfool Posted August 4, 2012 #5 Posted August 4, 2012 It is possible for a filament in the bulb to break and short to where it still lights but just not to the correct circuit. The flasher still knows it aint right.
Guest scarylarry Posted August 4, 2012 #6 Posted August 4, 2012 Mine has done that a few times after I washed the bike...You did happen to washed before this happen did you?
Freebird Posted August 4, 2012 #7 Posted August 4, 2012 Have you actually pulled the lenses and checked for water/corrosion? I've seen at least three RSVs that had water in the rear turn signals...these happened to all be the left rear though and the sockets had corroded.
Flyinfool Posted August 4, 2012 #8 Posted August 4, 2012 Just another good reason to NEVER wash the bike........
dacheedah Posted August 4, 2012 Author #9 Posted August 4, 2012 Pulled the rear, all good. I rode over to Indiana to a yamaha dealer, they made calls and recommended replacing front and rear and see what happens... Thats what Ill try

dacheedah Posted August 5, 2012 Author #11 Posted August 5, 2012 I bought the wrong bulbs. . . these puppies have some strange offsets , so my end result was I pulled them out, all seemed fine, and ended up just putting them back in and guess what. They work fine now. I looked at the bulbs and they look good, the posts are at odd angles and not 180. . .
