Hella Bar End Turn Signals - Bulbs keep burning out

[Allan.Atherton]

You could have a pinched wire, cutting the insulation and causing a short. Pull out the signal and see if a wire got pinched when the signal body was tightened. The wire passes through the screw, and tightening the screw can twist the wire and cut into the insulation.
I had this a few years ago, and as I remember, the bulb was not what was burning out, it was the expensive flasher. If I had had a fuse at the battery, it would have saved the flasher, and I added one after that.
The speedo bulb could have a loose connection, or a poor ground from dirt or oxidation in the holder.

Hi Allen,

I did have a pinched wire which caused a short on the throttle side turn signal. It took some time to track down, but its fixed. Thanks for the advice.

My bulbs keep burning out on my bar end turn signals (every ride). My lights are fine, I notice at night the speedometer light flickers. I am thinking this is a voltage regulator issue, but I am not sure (and hence this post). Anyone have ideas on how to trouble shoot this problem?

Thanks All,

Phil
