    hi guys
    i just installed BC blinkers and sometimes they work, sometimes they dont.
    How that can happen? Maybe it has to do something with emergency lights, but i dunno.
    All installations were done after the documentations...

    Welcome to the forum! If the lights came from BC and were sold for your model bike, I would expect them to work. However, I've seen several articles indicating that there can be some 'flaky' issues when switching from standard bulbs to LED bulbs - particularly brake lights. If you did that, you might want to do some research on that issue. Also, you might have a loose ground wire/connection. Is the problem completely random, or does it happen most often when you make a left turn, right turn, hit some bumps, etc.?

    I agree Hack driver, there must be a faulty connection somewhere or possibly led bulbs are loose in the lamp holders ! I've seen this on my bike when I put led parking globe in the headlight of my 09' America .

    this can also be caused by the original rely being incompatible , ive had this on one of my old bikes
