Strange turn signal problem

 

Drinks for all. Break out the Lagavulin for the electrical wizzards,
which I am not.

'98 Heritage, 75,000 miles.  All lights work normally when the bike is
started.  All lights continue to work normally as long as riding is
slow speed around town type stuff.  After a highway run, even a short
one, the right turn signals don't work.  A little more slow driving
and everything works again.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

WAG? Broken filament making intermittent contact.

Replace the bulb and see what happens.  They're cheap.

Another WAG, a cracked or loose ground wire to one of the signals.
Check the bulb first though. (You can always use a spare bulb)
Also could be dirt in the base of the socket or the spring interupting
juice to the bulb.

Had a bike doing intermittent shit like that a couple of weeks ago.
Changing the rear (1156) bulb sorted it.

Been through the bulb thing.  I carry spares with me and I changed
them all out.  I'm afraid the I might have something wrong in the
wiring harness or possobly a bad ground, but I'm not good enough with
the electrical stuff to properly diagnose it.  Hate to do it, but I
might have to put it in the shop.  Thanks.
