The left turn signal flashes faster than the right. I checked all the wiring I think and all the lights work. We hit some heavy rains coming back from New Mexico but the bike sat a week so I thought it would of dried out by then. It's a 2000 Valkryie Standard with a DFT conversion.:xzqxz:
 
sounds like the resistance changed which probably means moisture in a connection or light fixture at bulb base. I would be most suspicious of rear turn signal. Unplug and blow out all connections; wire nuts, plugs, etc. Maybe spray with contact cleaner. If that doesn't solve try the bulb socket. Then move to front and do the same thing. Sometimes the gremlins are the hardest to find.
 
You may want to put in some "conductive grease" in the sockets while you have them out. This is what they use on new vehicles and trucks to prevent just the problem you are having with moisture. Should be able to get it at almost any auto parts store. It comes in a plactic tube. Good luck...
