Auto canceling signals

[JerseyJeff]

Good day all,

Just wondering if there is some sort of "time out" adjustment for the turn indicators ? They were both working fine last year, but I noticed now, the right side cancels itself after about 3 seconds after the turn, but the left side takes about 10 seconds or longer before it quits.
Any thoughts ??

There is no available setting to adjust the amount of time that the Indicators
remain ON, when in "AUTO" cancelling mode, or to adjust each side to a different setting,
however, be aware that this is not just a Time based setting, but includes
a distance element too, as described on Page 49 of the Owners Handbook :

AUTO - Indicator self cancelling is on.

In this mode the indicators will self-cancel
after 65 metres have been travelled and 8 seconds have elapsed.

If the motorcycle is stationary the indicator will remain on

Cheers

It may be that the turn signal buttons are dirty and this causes resistance. You should clean the turn signal buttons with contact cleaning spray.

Thank you for the replies, I will try cleaning since they seemed to both be working about the same last year.

We will be attentive to see the results.

I have my self cancelling always to OFF as they appeared to cancel just when I did not want them too.

In the UK leaving a left turn signal unintentionally on is a BIG mistake, vehicles tend to pull in front of you when signalling to turn into their road.

I have a mate who I have followed for miles that is always leaving his indicators on unintentionally.

My riding plan I think is safer when I tell the bike what to do not it tell me.

Just my $0.02 worth.

I have mine set to Auto Cancelling mode.

In Auto Cancelling mode of course, the Indicators can still be cancelled manually,
and I often / usually cancel the Indicators manually before they Auto Cancel.

When exiting a Motorway or Dual Carriageway though, where I have usually activated
the Indicator at the 300 Yards from Exit board, I find that they self cancel too early !

For me that is a minor inconvenience though, compared to the potential danger
of leaving an unintended Indicator ON for a prolonged period,
which cannot happen in Auto Cancelling mode.

Nice to have the choice of Auto or Manual though !

I understand where GarminDave is coming from and what I do is after turning just give the cancel a push after I have made the turn (I have mine on auto-cancel)
