    Hi all,

    got my RS a week ago, new from triumph dealer, few extra bits and a 5yr warranty.
    was very happy with it till this afternoon.
    Turned ignition on, started the bike and hello xmas tree !!
    indicators on, left then right then left so on and so on, with the lights going between the 3 options, dim, bright and day riding .
    impossible to stop any of them with the switchgear, lasted for about 45 seconds .
    Tried to get to my phone to take a video, but i was too slow.
    did it once more for about 5 seconds, then it didn't happen all the way home.
    it was raining this morning on the way to work, had no problems though. bike was parked under a hanger at work.
    400 kms on the clock,

    Asked the dealer if they had any info from Triumph on the matter for europe when i picked up the bike ( i had seen the recall for the usa and india on the net) he said no but they had already changed a few recently.
    Dealer is closed today, will call tomorrow morning. Unfortunately they are 110kms away and i need the bike to get to work .
    This is a right pain in the rear for a bloody new bike.
    hope they sort this quickly .
    thanks for reading, listening to me rant .
    take care
    Rob. :)

    It's a known problem.
    The local dealers 765 RS demo had this problem when we went on a rideout to the factory and it was pissing down.
    As he was leading, it confused a few people.....
