this will fix your problem with fast blinkers


1) Turn Ignition on
2) Turn on 4 way hazards by pressing the hazard button on the controls. DO NOT press both turn signal switch's at the same time. That is the way the hazard activate on PRE CANBUS bikes.
3) Turn the Ignition off letting hazards run. IF the bike has security they will flash 5 or 6 times and then pause. This is normal. They will go back to flashing normal hazard mode.
4) Let hazards run 1-2 minutes.
5)Turn Ignition back on
6) Turn off hazards
7) Turn Ignition off and then back on
8) Check function of turn signals

I tried these instructions a couple of times with no success. Maybe I need to let the hazard lights blink more than a couple of minutes. 2017 Limited with CD front amber LEDs.

Don't drain it, just use them more often and it will burn off naturally!
