Left Indicator Flashes Once When I Turn On The Ignition - Street Twin

Hello

Street Twin 2016

Last weekend noticed my indicators stopped working while on a short trip.

When you turn on the ignition the left indicator flashes once - then nothing from left or right or hazards.

I have changed them for LEDs but that doesn't seem to be the issue as the change was some time ago and they have been working fine.

I did notice they did start working while riding the bike but after a while stopped again.

Im thinking it must be a short but any thoughts form you people are very welcome.

All the best

Hello Alifie
Yep it had the recall issue sorted. The more I think about it it looks like a ground problem. It’s annoying as I’m really not sure if it will case more problems.
I think the weekend looks like being a bit busy with a multi meter

 

Hi there
That sounds a good one to check - do you know if that would cause the right side to flash once when I turn on the ignition?
I have a multi meter so I can do some continuity tests Saturday.
Thanks for the idea

 

Thank you everyone who gave me some pointers.

Iv solved the problem - it was actually one of the LED indicators that for some reason failed - unlike a standard filament bulb it affected the hole indicator system - I swapped everything back to factory to make sure the system was ok then slowly put back the LEDs checking as I installed them it wasn’t till I did a continuity test on the LEDs that I found the faulty one.

All working again
