Hey all. So my turn signals began acting up. Flick left, they all come on. Flick right, they all come on. Looks pretty cool but it's not real practical. I checked all the wiring and found no shorts, so I'm thinking indicator relay. The only one I've found is at Bike Bandit for $73 + shipping...ouch. Anyone know of any cheaper options?

Take it to an auto parts store that has employees that know what they are looking at and they can get you one with the right specs.

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Did you by any chance also switch to LED bulbs?

Thanks for the idea. Looks like a trip to the local NAPA is in order. As far led's or messing with the headlight, nope. Just started happening this spring.

Well so much for the relay diagnosis. Replaced the original and I'm still lit up like emergency flashers. The wiring looks good after another inspection...any thoughts on the actual switch being the culprit?

Spose it could be John. I'm thinking tearing into the control is the next step. For the record, this started last summer after the bike sat for several weeks when I was out-of-town and it was hotter than blazes. Wonder if that had anything to do with it or was it just coincidence (?).
