    Hey Everyone, not sure if anyone can help. 
    When I click on the indicators I have all indicators and the rear light flash. I've been through and checked for any shorts or bad earth's but can't see any thing. I washed it for the 1st time last week since owning it and only noticed it after that so is it possible waters got in somewhere it shouldn't have?
    Also can anyone point me in the right direction where to download the owners manual as I can't find much online. 
    Cheers

    Hi LdnDan87
    If your sporty is anything like a softail, it'll have a little circuit board in the tail light assembly. where the tail light, and indicators plug into. This can get stuff in there and short a couple of connectors. I've had the same thing happen and there was a tiny stone bridging two terminals on that board. Cleaned it up and - fixed!
    HTH
