Turn Signals

Welcome aboard Eric. If you were a long time member I'd say something facetious like, don;t turn right then, but because you're a newbie I will refrain.. Anyway, whilst you're waiting for a sensible answer, enjoy the ride bud.

 

Only use them if you are turning left, anything else will simply confuse.




Sorry.

 

I also have trouble signaling right....because i have to take my hand off the throttle.

 

First off welcome to the forum Eric ,
Agree with Ron - definitely a broken wire losing contact when stretched (right in your case)
Bit of wiggling required no not from you just stand still and wiggle the harness try and locate the approx position of break in wire, if lucky and you locate, slice outer harness cover and root out broken wire and solder,

 

Oooh I could easily second to that and add but like you I have to press the red stop button!!
Anyway, @Eric27 welcome in from another Eric

 

Start round the head yolk, if I were you.

 

Feckin late again sprinter - where were you

 

Could be inside the indicator switch unit also, a bit of wire wiggling to do !

 

You'll never be sure until you investigate it completely, open up the harness and have a good root aboot to find, nowt hard about re-wrapping up a harness but great satisfaction in fixing it yourself.
All this is getting more and more the norm with bikes, harness's are made with very little room for movement, especially around head stock area.

 

Rather than fixing the harness, wouldn’t it just be easier to take three left turns instead of one right?

Sorry, I was just applying a politician’s approach to simple problem solving to motorcycle maintenance....
