Turn Signal Woes

A friend of mine had a similar issue with his T/B some time ago. Unfortunately he is now living abroad and I can't get in touch with him but if I recall, it was down to the self cancelling feature playing up. Can't help any further I'm afraid.

 

The 1600 Thunderbird is, or at least mine is!

 

Not mine

 

Just been doing a little research and it appears that the Storm does have Auto Cancelling indicators...however, they can be disabled/enabled so it might be worth taking the handbook out of its wrapping and checking. As far as I am aware the Storm is simply a bored out version of the original 1600 so I cannot see why it would not have them.

 

Different bike, but I had a recent issue with an indicator bulb not flashing, which seemed to be solved with dielectric spray followed by acf50 to the electric connections in the headlight.

 

Good point, I downloaded a copy from somewhere on the net
Direction Indicator Switch

Note:

• This motorcycle is equipped with an indicator self cancel system. The system becomes active eight seconds after operating a direction indicator.

When the indicator switch is pushed to the left or right and released, the corresponding direction indicators will flash on and off.
The indicator self cancel system becomes active eight seconds after operating a direction indicator. Eight seconds after turning the direction indicator on and when the motorcycle has travelled a further 65 metres, the indicator self cancel system will automatically turn off the indicators. The indicators can be cancelled manually. To manually turn off the indicators, press and release the indicator switch in the central position.

 

Well feck me old boots.......amazing what you learn when you read the instructions

 

Did you get it sorted JJ?

 

Did you ever solve it @Jammin'John?

Try all your connections properly and clean. Also try running a separate earth form the light units to the bike see if that cures it.
