    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

My blinkers will sometimes come on, but sometimes they will stay solid. Any ideas?
 
I have just read through I think 100 posts on this topic this morning. At the end of the day it seems to be a pull out the schematic and check your grounds answer.

Oh yes, there are many other things that we can do to create this problem. Wrong size bulbs, bad bulbs and bad flashers but 90% of the time it is a ground thing.

I have a similar issue on my 1100G and I will spend my weekend looking at grounds.
 
Blinker relays need enough load and high enough system voltage to work properly. These bikes electrical system are corroded to death from age. Check and clean every connection on the plus and minus side over the whole bike and everything will work better. Dan

It was the blade connectors on my rear bulbs under the seat were dirty one time and the other time just a bad contact with the frame a bit of rust on the rear. Only once was it the front bulb burned out but then that was only on one side:)

if you get an electronic flasher fuse from an auto parts store it solves the load problem, it will blink no matter what bulbs you use and its a direct replacement for like 5 bucks
 
Wiggle both bulbs on the side that is not working. Sometimes the bulbs don't make a contact good enough to pass the electric. The blinkers won't flash without both bulbs contacting good.
