My front right indicator started flashing really quickly, as well as the indicator light on the dash board thingy.

I gave the indicator a tap with my hand which sorted it out for a week. Now only my back right one works, but is still flashing quicker than normal. The front right one has died completely.

Anyone know the reason and how to fix?

Normally when they start to flash quicker out of the blue it means that a bulb is out. Make sure everything is flashing properly before you start worrying about the speed in which they flash.

I my experiance, it's normally a blown bulb. On my bike (CBR125) the dash light is constant. Just a case of getting down to the local garage and getting a normal one, but then again, it could just have been a loose connection if recently replaced.

I've gone through 4 indicators (1 blown, 2 broke after a drop, and 1 was a dirty connection). For the latter, I just took my bike up to the red line, so increasing vibrations, and it's worked ever since. Sounds like you have a blown bulb though

Haha, if only everything could be fixed by doing that Mr. Green

I'll attempt to replace the bulb, cheers.

if a simple tap sorted it originally i would reckon its a loose connection and indicators are normally the worst for getting gunked up so maybe an issue there?
