Indicators?

Post by mattjc »

Just a quick one really, My indicators take a little while to start blinking, i.e use the switch and wait 10 - 15 secs and the blinking begins... Any ideas / fixes?

But seriously - I would suggest a lazy relay, all connectors & bulbs must be fine or they wouldnt work at all...

It's a common fault - take the switch apart and give it a really good clean (contact cleaner is best).

You'll be amazed at the crud you find in there.

Hi.
Mine was like that & then they stoped working.
I took the switch off on the handle bars just 2 x screws sprayed contact cleaner into were the switch is a few times & they worked after that. If it dose'nt work fist time try again don't spray to much in & let it dry for a few minutes. It worked for me.
Hope the helps.
Cheers.

Rob.
