Angry Turn signals stop working

I just notice that my turn signals stop working. When activated the light become bright but don't blink. Even the yellow light near the handle bar just stay on. I have to manually swith on and off. The bike is a honda sabre.
Any advice out there.

Elect problems on bikes, arn't as much of a nightmare as cars can be, but they can still be a real head ache.

It sounds like you don't have much experience with wiring, if that is the case, you best go to the dealer. If you have some experience, get your meter out, and start tracing wires, you probably have a short some where.

I think it sounds like the flasher but I have no idea where to look for it on that bike.

I would check the flasher like Jerry said and if it is seated well, meter out your bulbs. A bad bulb on a car will cause those same symptoms. If bulbs are good and the flasher is seated I'd replace the flasher. Your switch sounds like it is good.

Jerry, where is the flasher located on our bikes?
