One blink, two blink...  no...  just one blink...

So I just finished the mini battery install on my bike.  It's essentially the same as Boule'tard's mod, but with a couple of minor differences.  However, I've run into a new issue:  my right blinker doesn't work.  I push the button, the neutral light (when I'm already in neutral) gives this kind of half-dim flicker like something changed, but then nothing blinks.  Left side works fine.  Did I forget to connect something??  Or is this just a dirty contact inside of the handlebar?

While I'm here, who else is running a 6AH mini battery?  How much life do you get out of the battery with the engine off before you can't start it? (without pushing it, of course...)  I think I got 10 or 15 minutes today.  How much of a difference would an HID kit and LED blinkers make to that time?

That's strictly between the switch and the right indicator wiring. The directionals have a common power wire so if one works, that wire is fine. Since it hasn't blown a fuse, my guess would be switch.

As far as the battery dying, your battery is there to start the bike, not to power your lights. Put it on a charger if you need the lights on and the bike off.

I did an oil change and some other maintenance today.  Not sure what I touched, but both of my blinkers work flawlessly now.  I never disassembled the handlebar control, but I did disconnect and reconnect a few things today - including the electrical connector to the tank. Huh

I'm clueless, but I guess I'll just move on to my next project. Roll Eyes
