If you are loosing the charge in your battery then you have a short in the system somewhere. The turn signal indicator may be related to this or, because the battery may be weakened, it may go off sooner than expected.Since this seems to be a problem when you have the headlight on, I would start there. Is it the right bulb with the right wattage for your bike? Disconnect the headlamp and see if your battery still gets drained. If not, then thats where you start looking into the problem. You could also take an amp meter to see how much the lamp is drawing.

 

You could also try connecting a volt meter toa freshly chargedbattery. See what the voltage is with the engine and all accessories off. It should be somewhere around 12.5 volts. Start the bike and see if it increases to around 14 volts. If it does, then you know the voltage regulator is working. Then try turning things on one and a time and see how severely the voltage drops. With the head light on, it should still be capable of keeping the battery above that 12.5 volts.

 

Sportster.....

 

Sportster????

 

So i measure the voltge and with out head lamp got 14.38V. The Voltage is not stabil it moves up and down. Andwhen iswitch the headlamp on it droops to 12.38V. I didn t drove yet but it looks that my regulator is ok so far. I still changed the bulb from the right turn Signal and suddently broke down again I don t what the f...k is going on.
I would like to know about the turning signal. is there a sensor ( moving Sensor) in side that if you trun the signal on and you drive troughan kurve that after the kurve the signal tourns off by them self???
