Default Indicators flashing double time.

Hello.
My indicators are flashing double fast. I've only seen this before, when a bulb blows, the other one flashes twice as fast. But my front and rears are doing it, all bulbs working. The front indicators are aftermarket, and I've checked the connections, all seem fine, the bulbs flash so I presume the connections are sound. It used to do it on the right intermittently, but now both sides. Could it be the relay? I have done a forum search to no avail. I've owned the bike for over a year, and it's only recently started doing it.
Thanks
Mick.

Assuming all are bulbs and not leds, yes the relay is likely. mine failed a couple of months ago. replaced it with a led compatible one from ebay. sorted.

There is another thread in the last couple of days about relays and someone listed a supplier (not ebay)

Thanks. I should have mentioned, mine aren't led indicators, they have a standard halogen bulb. They're just flusher fitting ones. I'll try the relay. Cheers.

just check that the bulbs are 23w as i fitted new indys which only had 2w bulbs in hence faster flashing..23w bulbs fitted and flash rate returned to normal
