Hey guys,

I just returned from a nice ride from Toronto to Maryland and back. When I got home, I noticed that my signals are dead, front and rears. No blown fuses in the box, I checked. I tried turning the handlebars, and tugging on the wires under the seat, nothing...

Any ideas on what this may be, and a quick reliable fix?

All the best,

Jack

I could change the flasher unit first, its usually a cheap and easy fix. I believe its under the fly screen on our bikes.

I had a right turn signal that would not work when it didn't want to. We cleaned the connection with a circuit board cleaner and applied lots and lots of dielectric(?) grease. Have had no problems since, even in driving rains!

Marlin,
My turn signals quit working on the way home last night. Tonight when I got home I did the wiggle the harness check and found that I could occasionally get them to work. I pulled the headlights and found that the wires were broken at the ground terminal on the front forks. A new terminal, and good crimpers, and my problem will be fixed.
