Had my bike 7 years, and ride frequently.

Yesterday I made a trip 15 miles each way, first trip no problems
On the return the first 14 miles were ok close to returning home I noticed engine block light was on (it could have only been on a few minutes when I noticed)
and at around the same time I had turned the right turn signal indicator, the arrow was flashing rapidly (similar to when a bulb goes on a car but not quite)
Upon checking, both blinkers on the right side had blown, one of those bulbs was replaced about 6 months ago.
The indicator arrow (on the dash) was flashing fast, but when flashing didn't fully go out,
so at it's brightest it was normal but when dimmed only dimmed to about 50%. is that normal?
I then checked the other lightbulbs, both headlight and full beam headlight had also blown.
I replaced all 4 bulbs.

Went for a ride, all lights working and engine block light on the dash had reset/gone out.
Rode for about 20 miles, engine block light came on, I stopped checked the lights all blinkers working fine, head light and full beam blown.

I removed all fuses, relays and disconnected the battery, checked them then put them all back.
Also replaced the 2 front headlight bulbs that had blown and went for a ride.
Rode for about 20 miles and parked up (this time I didn't ride with the full beam light on just in case it blew again) this trip, no problems.
On the way back about 10 miles in, the engine light came on again, immediately checked the headlight and yep, that had blown, blinker indicators ok.
The full beam light wasn't turned on, that still works.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Daz
 
My first suspicion is a loose or bare wire hitting the metalwork when going over a bump like railroad tracks, or rough pavement (knowing how poorly cities and counties are maintaining the roads in California, following the state's example).
