On my 2000 M2 the fuses are located under the seat close to below where your right rumpcheek sits.

Mine work on and off and its starting to get annoying. Some days the left works, some days the right, and lots of the time nothing at all.

my signals dont work for a little bit after washing the bike. They work after a short dry out period.

Dont get discouraged, Grovskopa. As with ALL used vehicles, there will be bugs to work out. I promise you, after you work thru all the issues you encounter, youll be glad you stuck it out.

i'd check the flasher next, assuming you have good power.

if it was in front of me, i could have it diagnosed in less than a half hour! harder long distance.

I would also strongly suggest you check your ground wire(s) for the turn signal circuit. Loose, corroded and or wet ground will make this type of problem occur.

This is a simplified wiring diagram of the flashers, you have a rusted connection for a wire or a loose wire.

Fuse holder under seat on left side as riding the bike
vio = violet
blk = black
brn = brown
org = orange
wht = white
org/wht = ornage wire with a white stripe
