Author Message   Bull Posted on Monday, April 21, 2014 - 05:59 am:        Guys, I can use some advice on this.. I resurrected the S1W after winter rest. Bike runs great but the turn signals are behaving silly. I have hazard function regardless if I activate left or right.. ie it lights up left and right at the same time. Blinking frequency is fine and relay sounds ok but I haven't got around to measure anything yet. Is it anything typical or do I need to get my hands dirty... NB the turn signals worked just fine last season and the bike is kept in a heated garage. Thanks/ Jonas   Blu1hockey Posted on Monday, April 21, 2014 - 06:51 am:        By it lights up do you mean the dash indicators or the turn signals? If it is the dash. Do the signals worrk?   Bull Posted on Monday, April 21, 2014 - 06:59 am:        Yep, dash indicates "hazard" as well as the turn signals..   Brother_in_buells Posted on Monday, April 21, 2014 - 12:06 pm:        Jonas, Nice writing on the club blog about your s1w   Bull Posted on Monday, April 21, 2014 - 03:29 pm:        Thanks! Yep, I'm proud of this one and u guys in NL sure keep them running Any tips on the turn signals? Thanks/ Jonas   Bull Posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2014 - 12:43 am:        Anyone?? Thanks Jonas   Blu1hockey Posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2014 - 03:10 am:        The only thing I could think of is the relay. It's a cheap easy thing to try first. Besides that I don't have a clue.   Brother_in_buells Posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2014 - 03:36 am:        yep ,try the relay what Blu1hockey said and check the contact and massa points on the connectors for corrosion and spray them with some contact cleaner.   Littlebuggles Posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2014 - 06:36 am:        My signals will lock on (right or left) when ridden in the rain, switch gear is not water proof and corrosion may occur inside it on the contacts. While your bike is kept inside it's still old enough to be experiencing some problems due to general aging. I'd suggest opening up the switch gear and looking for corrosion on not only the contacts but small springs in there an see if anything needs cleaning up. It's easy to get in there since there's only a couple screws holding the pod together. If not that I also wonder on the condition of your relay as others have already mentioned.   Bull Posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2014 - 02:00 pm:        Thanks guys! I was debating along those lines as well I'll dig into it!! Will keep u posted on my findings! Cheers/ Jonas   Jolly Posted on Tuesday, April 22, 2014 - 03:07 pm:        I have a spare switch that is fully functional, if you want to borrow it to plug into your harness to test that part of the system let me know and I'll mail it out to you to borrow for a test.   Bull Posted on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - 03:03 pm:        Jolly thats really brilliant!! I'll have a go this weekend when I have some time.. If I cannot sort it I might take on your offer Cheers/ Jonas   Jolly Posted on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - 05:05 pm:        It's just sitting in a box not doing anybody any good, how about I send it to so you have it this weekend as part of your "tool set"???? PM me and I'll ship tonight or tomorrow!   Jolly Posted on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - 05:08 pm:        Oh..... Right.... You're in Sweden.... Damn fine country by the way!!!! Been there a few times back when I was flying for the AF. Still, let me know and I'll send it your way!   Bull Posted on Saturday, April 26, 2014 - 12:15 pm:        No worries Jolly! We have spring coming and I've been under heavy workload from the Mrs "you need to do this in the garden"... See if I can get something done later tonight... or tomorrow Jonas   Bull Posted on Wednesday, May 07, 2014 - 03:08 pm:        Turned out that I had a partial short in one of the turn signals causing the relay to go nuts.. Sorted now! Thanks for the input!! Jonas
