The defect
Equipment description: headlamp modulators for motorcycles. these modulators fail to comply with the modulation frequency requirement of fmvss no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

The higher frequency modulation IS a "flicker" rather than a steady state-continuous "flashing."
The remedy
Dealers will exchange the headlamp assemblies with headlamps having the correct frequency modulation.
