Buzzing noise coming from cylinder

[bagoony]

Not sure what they call this, but i tried turning on my bike and it kept flicking on and off. I traced the wire wiggled the cylinder and became little more stable. Everytime I'd try to start the bike, it shut off. After a few more wiggles the cylinder started buzzing. Needless to say, does it need to be replaced?

Thanks for the advice.

That's your turn signal relay, or flasher. I'm not sure about how it's doing what you're saying, but that's what it is.

Looks like a flash relay to me. If you disconnect it, the bike should still run but no signal lights. About $12 replaces it.
