    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Are these right?

Are these the right bulbs? Sylvania 1073 LL. The LL is supposed to stand for long life. They are 12v 23w. Bought them at O'Reilleys and that's all I could find in that size. Could be coincidental, but ever since I installed them, the turn signals flash slow when running. Seems like the faster I'm going, the slower they flash. They flash fine when the bike is not running. Cleaned all the grounds, but it didn't change anything.

related?

Does this even sound bulb related, or should I be checking something else?
 
I'm your neighbor over in Newport News, be glad to help if you need any.
 
Slower flashing at higher RPM's sure does sound like a charging issues to me as well.
 
Might take you up on that

I might take you up on that. I'll do the quick tests first. It does sound like it could be charging related even though I thought I had that sorted with a new SH 775.
 
cleaned flasher

Took the flasher out, opened it up and cleaned the contacts. Also cleaned the male prongs and female connections. Flashes correctly at all rpm's now.
 
Low voltage to the flasher due to dirty contacts. Yep cleaning contacts is a good thing. I'd advise doing a good once over and make sure all connectors are in good shape. Usually finding one area that's bad indicates that other areas need to be looked at as well.

Yep, I should have known better. I had already cleaned or replaced every connection I could find on the whole bike. Don't know how I missed these.:-\\\
