Self Cancelling Indicator System

My old T100 came with a buzzer system fitted (it was part of the alarm). Thought it was a good idea at first as it started to buzz after a set period and got louder and louder! Became a real pain in the bum if you were just waiting to turn right!
Tiger has them as standard but I never use it as it would spoil me for when I ride the Bonneville!

 

Sorry I haven't tried these but just found out you can use your thumb.

Might I suggest you get one of those big yellow revolving flashing lights you see on road sweepers and such. Mount it on your handle bars and wire it into your indicators.
You'll be the envy of every biker in the world, honest.

 

Yes I had the same trouble used super glue stopped it spinning so now just sit at home looking at my bike as for some reason it doesn't move .

Cool I love making new friends

 

I'm sure some of my old bikes had self canceling indicators but I can't remember which ones.

It seems a retrograde step for them not to be standard on all bikes.

 

My 1981 Yamaha RD400F had them as standard and they always worked perfectly, 36 years ago!!!!
These should be up there with headlights permanently on, they are a real safety issue as I see it.

That'll be it. I had several RDs started with an RD200 then the RD250 and an RD350 although I'm sure other bikes I owned had them.

When I first got my BMW I thought the separate indicator button on each side would be a real problem but it never was, in fact I rather liked them. I can't remember if they were self cancelling though.

 

I'm in the process of installing one on my T120 - Space is limited on the T120, though. You can find a mounting place under the LH Side Cover or under the seat near the fuse holder (which is where I'm locating mine). Either way requires a 36" extension. I've been emailing with Mark from STS and he has provided me with good support and they even sent me an extension cable. Another option is to buy the unit from A&J Cycles (order online) and specify the length of the extension you need - They will take care of some of the headaches, but you will pay a little more. I think it might be worth it; unless you're a tinkerer like myself. I'll provide complete instructions of my installation with pictures after the holidays.

 

It's (8) 22 gauge surrounded by a thick plastic outer sheath - Not very flexible either. The other issue is that the STS unit must be mounted facing forward, but the wires exit at the rear. Just another reason finding a mounting space near the front of the bike is almost impossible. I'm currently in the States and I received an extension cable from Mark at STS within 2 weeks. I'm about 1/3 of the way through my install, and I'm working to create detailed instructions as I go.

 

I mounted one on my '17 T100 a few weeks ago and am generally quite happy with it. It did need the 36" extension, which I didn't originally order but got from A&J. My only issue is it has taken some breaking in for the small foam pads inserted into the original switch. It was quite hard to turn on (particularly for right turns) until then. It's also not overly sensitive to lane changes and won't shut off on a slow, gradual changer on the interstate.
