So my bike has been burning out bulbs lately. Did the front right turn signal once and the brake light twice now. Can't find a short anywhere. Anybody out there got any ideas?

 

Voltage to high?

 

Go to NAPA or local auto parts store and tell them you want the Heavy Duty or truck bulbs. My signals use a stock 1157: didn't burn out but the vibration kills them. Got the 2057 (heavy duty) and haven't had to replace one in two years.

 

Will have to try the heavy duty bulbs

IN 5+ yrs I've only lost 1 turn signal bulb about 2yrs ago... ; Bought the Heavy duty 1157 bulb and its stillll gooooooing...

Now Head lights, is a diff story...... that's another thread...

Use some die-elc grease when U install them.

As mention consider review of voltage at rest,idle and above idle.
A bad voltage regulator could allow a greater than normal amount of DC volts and fry your battery, speedometer and lights.
Simple test with a cheap digital voltage meter should work.
