Indicator green dash light flashes rapidly while indicator itself doesn't work

Scarletpumpernel · Oct 18, 2016

I have started experiencing this intermittent issue with my right indicator on my T120 Bonneville bought new in July: while riding I switch on the indicators and the green dash light blinks much faster than normal while the indicator itself does not light. Cycling the indicator switch does not resolve the issue, however it usually returns to normal a few mins later with no intervention. Has anyone else experienced this? The bike is still under warranty but thought I'd ask here in case it's something simple.

Off the top of my head I'd say a loose connection. Is it always the same lamp that doesn't light?

Front, back or both?....on an older bike I'd go with the loose connection or broken wire route, or even though its intermittent it could be bulb failing but not yet blown. But with your new bike its is unlikely...I'd look at the flasher unit/ indicator relay, a plug -in , probably under the seat.
