Left / Right indicator different speeds... why?

[theMusicMan]

Hey All

At 56 years young, I am totally new to bikes, and new to this forum. For my sins I bought a 2016 Lexmoto Aspire which will allow me to see if I can get through the winter using a motorcycle as I have gout in my hips - it gets worse in the cold so didn't want to spend a lot of money on a bike if I can't use it through the year. If my hip is good (getting on and off is the issue) I'll consider getting a better bike in the spring.

Meanwhile... is there a reason the right hand indicator flashes at half the speed of the left hand indicator?

I don't have a wiring diagram, but am happy to dive in and explore/learn.

Thanks all.

Probably old school flasher relay so the cause is most likely either one bulb is dead or the bulbs are different wattages.

[Pete.]

The flasher rate is usually a function of the power draw through the relay. Flasher bulbs are usually 21W but if someone has used a 5w or if you have a bulb out then the rate will change either faster or (usually) slower.

Many thanks both - and for your quick replies, much appreciated.

Aha yes, I see, makes perfect sense thank you.

I didn't spot any of the indicator bulbs not working, so will check the power ratings on each of them.
