Default Right rear blinker issue? HELP!!

All of my blinkers work on my bike for the first 10-15mins of a ride. Then my right rear blinker does not work but still lights up when I put the brake on. I drive a 2014 CVO RK so my turn signals are not separate from my brake light. Anyone have any idea what would be causing this? I have not changed anything out in almost 2 years.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I figured that could be the case but it works when I put the brake on. It only has 2 filaments, one for the running lights and the other for the blinkers/brake lights. The blinker stops working but after the bike sits for a little while, it starts working again.

And and did you try and replace the bulb yet? Try and eliminate the easy things first.

The bulb assembly on the CVO is $175 since it is LED and from HD. I don't think it is a bulb issue since it still lights up when I apply the brake.

It wouldn't be the bulb if he has brake and tail lights, And it's a CVO, LED's correct? And they work. I'd say you have a issue, either the switch for the bad side, or possibly the blinker module. The fact it works for about the same length of time before failing, if it's fairly consistent would make me lean away from wiring.

Thanks for the input. Where is the blinker module located?

I am totally unfamiliar with the setup on the CVO bikes, but I find it curious that it's the right rear blinker doing this. Because the Harley run-turn-brake modules are notorious for having this exact same problem, intermittently. Mine does it. And only on the right rear. Maybe they snuck that same module into the CVO from the factory...?
