Default Blinker fluid!

Well not adsactly I have an 07 fxd and was riding to work this morning and noticed my blinkers went out intermittently along with the brake light i am assuming a short some where because if I turn the bike off and back on from key works fine. Now if I do 4-5 key revalations they don't work and the speedo doesn't show mileage. Any ideas?

You need to switch to synthetic.

Sell bike, never worry about blinker fluid or blinkers. Problem solved.

I have a opinion that the 4-5 ignition cycles could be activating some kind of diagnostic mode. But restoring things by turning key off and on could be a bad ignition switch. You said ideas.....

You can see your brake lights when your riding?

Anyway, something is loose. Start tracing your wires while you have the lights on so you can wiggle stuff and find the offending connection. That's what I would do... Good luck!
