R1150R Indicator Lights flashing erractically

[triumsg]

Can anyone help? My R1150R turn signal indicator lights work fine. After a while of riding they suddenly blink quicker and sometimes revert to the normal flashing speed. Whats up?

It's most likely a blown globe...check both back and front are flashing.

Same thing happened to me. I replaced all of the bulbs to no avail. I decided it must be the relay and popped the seat off to look. With the engine not running, I turned on my blinkers and started pulling relays until they quit. When I put the relay back in, the blinkers were fine. The relay had just come loose or there was some intermittent contact going on. Everything is still fine more than six months later!

Thanks DJ and Dan.

As suggested, checked the globes. All were fine.

Removed the flasher relay (boy, is removing that fastner around the relay tricky!). Cleaned it with Philips contact cleaner and replaced it.

Took it for a short ride and everything seems fine.

Will take it for a longer ride soon!!

Thanks again guys!

Hey there Snow - exactly! strange clip that!

Thanks again guys - just back from a longish ride - more than an hour. No problems at all! Must have been a loose contact.

Glad I could be of some help. I don't know how people got along back in the days before message boards!
