Default 2001 RK Turn Signal problem
On my 01 RK the right signal will flash regular about 5 times then flash real fast. It’s only on the right side. I swapped bulbs from the left side and still did it. I then bought all new bulbs and it didn’t help. Any other vehicle it would be the bulb. Anyone have any ideas?

His bike has a TSM or a TSSM, not a flasher and neither of them are cheap.

68920-01D* MODULE, TURN SIGNAL CANCELLER* $134.99
68922-00D* MODULE, SECURITY SYSTEM* $238.49

Part number 10. That said, that probably isn't it. I'd say you have an open in the wiring. Look there first if the bulbs have been switched out and are verified good.

The 2001 RK uses a Turn Signal Module or Turn Signal Security Module instead of the older flasher.


Edit: Max beat me to it.

I’ll check the wiring. Maybe the right side will just flash fast.
