Title: Lazy Blinkers
Post by: JuST Peter on August 21, 2013, 02:58:17 AM
Lately on start-up on my '04 ST, I've had to hold the blinker switch with my thumb to one side or the other to make the blinkers work, and it only seems to keep going after what I can only describe as the unit warming up. It makes riding difficult if I enter a roundabout (turn right) then want to exit (turn left). It's bad enough just wanting them to work in one direction without needing both in quick succession.
I found a similar problem on the ST Owners forum:

and was wondering if someone on here would think mine is the same or something different?

Why go "overseas" when the answers are here in Oz already?!    :grin

Just shows how this Forum has rapidly matured in its content.  The US one has been going since the ST1100 came onto the market.  OzSTOC is a much younger Forum.

An update!
After a quick phone call to Dr Brock to verify nothing would fall apart if I take the switch cluster apart, I split the two halves, gave the blinker switch a good spray, and the others too just in case they thought of playing up, put everything back and voilą! All is good again.  :thumbsup

Thanks Brock - that's a few  :beer I owe you
