Turn Signals 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
Can anyone tell me why the right side turn signals are flashing faster than the left side? I have checked the bulbs, they are not burnt out....any other ideas?

Have you connectd the Kuryakyn Turn, Running, & brake Light Kit? if you did, you need a load balancer to correct the defiency.

Have you replaced a bulb recently? if you have and replaced with the wrong bulb it could cause your problem from a diff resistance in the bulb.

pull the front turn signal bulb and see if it is corroded. I had the same problem, after putting on driving lights, the turn signals are then vertical and water gets in. you need to make sure the front signals are making contact on the right proper filament. mine was flashing fast on the right side and normal on the left side, I wiggled the bulb and found that the running light filament was flashing whild the heavy turn filament was not. cleaned the socket and put in dielectric grease. problem solved.
