How to fix a fast blinking of flasher light on VF750F...

Please help on how to fix the fast blinking of the flasher light with an interval of 2 blinks per second from its original of 1 blink per second. Thanks.

 

Hmm - most times this means at least one of the indicator bulbs has blown - but I guess you would have spotted that on your daily pre-ride checks

Another cause is if you swap out the standard bulbs with led ones as they probably won't have the same electrical resistance - and normally need an additional resistor fitted to the circuit to achieve the normal blink rate. Finally of course its always possible that the flasher unit can fail in which case you will need a replacement.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

If you're running LED's, you can get a flasher relay just for LED's. I got mine at Autozone but not sure what you have in your neck of the woods.

 

I replaced the original flashers with an small bike flasher without running light (not an LED) because the original is too much at $50.00 each. I'm sure this was the reason. I will try another flasher with higher resistance. Thanks.

 

Sometimes a high flash rate is due to poor connections between the bulb sockets and chassis grounds.
