Fast blinking blinkers.
...

You usually see this when someone swaps out their stockers for LEDs. The LEDs have a much lower resistance rating than the standard bulbs, which is what causes the fast blinking. Figure out what the difference in resistance is and wire in a resistor inline and they will blink at the correct speed. ;)

In the car, it usually means a bulb is out.

LED blinkers have less resistance than the regular bulbs. You need to add a 5 ohm 100w resister in series for each blinker to slow down the blinking rate.

I have fast blinking blinkers due to switching the stockers for aftermarket ones. I've gotten used to it and I'm fine with it.
I know the kit came with some resisters that would reduce the flow to slow the signals down BUT they get really hot and I didn't want the additional heat since the bike is so hot anyways plus with all of the plastic on the bike. :idk: |

Mounting the resistor where some air will pass over it will help with any heat issues, but like z06 pointed out, I'd keep it away from plastics. |

It could also be a bad flasher relay.
