Angry indicator problem...

My front left indicator on my Speedie has stopped working. The rear left one still works but now blinks twice as fast. I've tried replacing the bulb but this makes no difference.

Had the bike serviced (first service/500 miles) two days ago and am reluctant to make the ride back to where I bought it. Any suggestions welcome!

thanks

jon

My 06 America does that too.

I wiggle the cable that goes to in around the plug connector and it makes the indicator work...

It's one of those annoying intimitant faults that if you went to the dealer with they'd find nothing wrong.

Smile moulding

I had a similar problem with my 07 TBA. Turned out to be a bad moulding in either the plug or switching unit. They missed it the first time at the dealership because the problem was intermittent. Fixed the second time. No problems since.

Thanks, wiggling the wire has cured it for now... I'll get the dealer to take a look when I'm next down that way

I had the same problem with the brake light while using the front lever. I took it to the dealer when it was still under warranty, they couldn't find anything wrong. It hasn't acted up since. I have a left turn signal rear indicator problem with my car too, but it's turning into a jalopy anyways.
