Indianapolis, IN United States | So my wife was riding behind me last night and said the right hand side middle of my Tail Light V was randomly flashig on and off. Thoughts on where to begin to check?
Thanks! |

| Take your seat off an check the wiring going to the two relays on the right side of the bike. Mine did this and the wire bundle was to long and rubbing on the belt. Made my right turn signal stay blinking all the time. Though it was relay but turned out to be the wiring got eaten buy the belt. After reattaching wires and rerouting further away from belt everything works fine. |

Indianapolis, IN United States | So I determined half the bulb was burnt out. Not sure why folks behind me thought it was intermittent - but with a new bulb in things seem much better. |

Broken Arrow, OK | because often that broken filament dances around and makes intermittent contact. Glad you got it fixed. |
