Turns out there's an addendum to this story (it's always something
)...
Tonight, I took the bike out for the first time since getting it back from the shop. The left-hand flasher/turn signal isn't working—the rear flasher stays ON, as does the yellow indicator in the tach, but the front flasher stays OFF. I don't have a replacement bulb, but I checked the bulb and the filament's good and the contacts—both the bulb and in the socket—are clean. I probably should'a swapped left-and-right flasher bulbs, but I was in a rush.
However, whenever a bulb's been bad, the indicator in the tach
flashes fast, rather than staying ON, which worried me. The right side works fine.
Of course, I'll try swapping (1156) bulbs tomorrow.....but, just in case, does this sound like a bad flasher bulb or something else? The flashers were working fine
before the bike was in the shop..
