I went through the threads that discussed turns signal problems and I still need some clarification of what is happening with mine. I just got my bike from shipped (about two weeks since I've seen it). When I switch the turn signal left, the rear left signal blinks really fast and the front left doesn't. I can hear the relay going on and off in sequence with the blink.

I'm not sure if the relay is the problem here or if I just need to replace the bulb. Before I start tackling this, I need some advice on what this could be. Thanks.

Just a bulb i believe. When one bulb goes out on most systems, the remaining bulb on that side flashes fast.

Mine do that! I just use arm signals at the moment. I think it is not earthing properly

If you can hear the flasher clicking then it's the bulb.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I swapped the left and right bulbs and the right one started behaving the same way....so thankfully it is just the bulb. Although on closer inspection of the bulb, I can't see a break in the filament.

On a related question, is this bulb standard? That is, can I buy an OEM one from an auto shop?

Nevermind...I just found my answer...just googled Osram 5008.
