Cougar Posted April 17, 2007 Share #1 Posted April 17, 2007 Is it just my bike? or do you have the same problem? Myself. (not that far away) Like to turn my turn signals on before I turn left or right. Just like I do in my truck. The problem I have always have had is the turn signal always turns OFF (times-out) before I get to the turn and I have to set it again, Is there a way to make it stay on longer? Thanks for any info.

Venturing Sole Posted April 17, 2007 Share #2 Posted April 17, 2007 I think I read in the operator's manual that the signals turn off after the bike has traveled a certain distance with the blinkers on. I have learned how near/far away I can turn the signal on as I approach a turn, so that it turns off just after completing the turn. I guess I've also just gotten into the habit of periodically pressing the cancel button every couple of minutes just to make sure the signals are not on when I don't want to broadcast an unintended movement (plus my last bike - Intruder 1500 - did not have any cancelling capability). I'd hate to get cut off by a cage because I wasn't paying attention to my signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibvel Posted April 17, 2007 Share #3 Posted April 17, 2007 I got into the habit of hitting my turn signal and then hitting it again when I'm about half the distance between when I originally turned it on and when I'm going to make the turn. I like to signal my intent to turn farther away from the actual turn than the turn signal will allow. Also have a tendency to turn it off afterward as well.
