up until about an hour ago my blinkers worked like a charm. all of a sudden, they don't uh... blink. i also noticed that my brake light is a hair dimmer than normal and it takes about a second from when i pull any lever to change to the braking light.

i pulled that bulb and it looked fine.

add those to my ultra dim, read candle light bright headlight and i dont know what the hell to do.

a new flywheel was put on back in november. i just replaced the regulator and the stator is the only thing im not 100% about at this point.

can you guys help me kill my gremlins?

Mate the very first thing to check is your cowl latches (pins), remove any paint or road scum/grime from them. Generally, it's just the contact from the cowl to frame that needs cleaned.
