The other day I went to start the bike and the starter turner once and then I heard a click sound and then I lost all power. I turned the key off then back on and power is back and the bike started. It ran a little rough then cleared up. While riding, I put on my left blinker and it was blinking faster than normal, kind of like when in older cars when one blinker light would blow out. Then on the next turn it was fine.
I dropped in a new battery last year so I'll check the connections there. I haven't done any other work on the bike besides change the oil.
What else should I check ?
