Turn signals flicker

On my way home I hit my right signal to change lanes. Rather than flash, both the idiot light and the signal flickered at the same time and at the same rate. I tried it with the left signal and got the same result. Hazards? Yep, the lights all flickered or pulsed in perfect time, rather than flash. As I rode home, sometimes they would flash properly and sometimes they would pulse/flicker/stutter as if there were an intermittent connection somewhere. Not just one light or one side, but all four amber lights and the corresponding idiot lights on the dash. Once home I checked several connectors and have not been able to repeat the issue. In fact, now that the bike is cold, everything acts normally.

Could the connector on the radiator be at fault, here, or perhaps something in the nose?

Sounds like a flasher relay problem to me.

Thanks GW! I suspected the relay when I saw the LED signals flickering, but when the idiot light mimicked the turn signals it made me think 'deeper problem.' I've got a new LED flasher on order.
