right turn signal flashes fast, but no burned out bulb?
I'm fixing up a '89 TII and I noticed that the right turn signal flashes like three times faster than the left signal. I thought it was a burned out bulb somewhere, but they all look fine. Any suggestions on what to look at next?

I have that on occasion with my s5 vert. It happens for me due to a corroded bulb socket. I keep it greased up with anti corrosive grease but about once per year I have to clean that socket.

Look for a gimpy socket.

Good luck!
