Here I go again askign for help on my KH500. Back right blinker does not flash. Yep the globe is good, check on battery. Checked the contact point on the globe with a volt mteer and it went from about 3 volts ? to 14 volts ? and back again as flasher unit flashed. The flasher unit is new. AND when I put the wire to the back right blinker to the back left blink and turn the blinkers to the left , the front left blinker blinks and the back right blinker blinks.

Help !

Likely a bad ground (earth) on the blinker stem.

Run a short wire from the body of the blinker to a good ground and check it out.

Glad you found it. I'll close this post by saying I use my Back-left blinker wire and handle bar switch (with bypassed clicky thing) to power my running light on the back. :thumbup:
