Default Down to the wire....

SO, I pulled off my seat to investigate my electrical and see if I can track down the cause to my possible blinker situation.... As im taking the seat off i see this little wire pop up not connected to anything... immediately I think "bingo", this is the cause of my blinkers flashing at different patterns. I go to start the bike and nothing... wont start...... I touch the wire to the frame and she fires right up! So, off to my shop I go to get an electrical connection and happen to run into the guy who "built" this bike. He claimed that once in a while when the bike was running if he stood up at a light or stopped to stretch his legs it would die and not start until he sat back down.. So I'm thinking that this connecting has been an on going issue... I get home and fix the connection, and tighten it back down real good. I take the bike out and It didn't have any effect on the blinkers, HOWEVER it fixed the bike cutting out under hard acceleration! Which I thought was contributed to lose connections on the hyper charger, (which is getting fixed next).
Apparently, the wire was vibrating loose under hard acceleration as was causing the engine to cut out... Long story short,,,, super stoked!

Ride on!

Lol, electrical issues can drive ya mad at times....if your blinkers are flashing at different rates, one side to another it could be different wattage bulbs on one side or even in one blinker.
