Canceling Turn Signals

[Fla_rider]

I don't know if it's me or not, but doesn't the turn signals cancel too soon as in half the time they should? I always find myself hitting the switch 2 times.

They do shut off early, I believe after 10 blinks, but if they didn't you could possibly end up in an accident in a busy town where someone thinks your going to turn because your signal is still on. Once you get used to it you just learn to hit it twice under normal situations or you could take a flasher unit off a base model, I believe they aren't self canceling.

I think I would rather have them cancel then not at all.

I do not have the SCL's. Have heard before that they do cancel 'early'

No fix that I'm aware of other than 'keep hittin 'em', which kinda seems weird.

No fix is needed. they stay on when you're slowed or stopped until after a turn. They blink 10 times when at speed, this is for lane changing. When on the road, I hit the signal, wait 3 blinks to start lane change and forget them, by the time you make a smooth lane change they'll blink maybe 2 more times and go off. How many times have you see guys without self cancellers change lanes and keep blinking for miles? lots. A lot of the new cars do this too, I touch the signal stalk on my F150 and it blinks 3 times, push it farther up and it stays on. I think this is sort of the concept they are shooting for on the goldwings.

Is it possible to get these as an upgrade on a standard F6?

First time I've heard that explanation,,, Can't necessarily say I agree with it, but,,,

Not to my knowledge. Not sold as a stand alone item.

The SCS on my Stratoliner worked great. Only bike I've ever had with SCS.

For those of you who have standards the Blinker Buddy May be your only choice. Had one on my Valk. I would think that the blinker is connected to the speedo and odomitor and some type of timer and the handle bar switch. There are aftermarket units but they don't reset the handle bar switch they only time out.

The turn signals are tied to the RPM’s……to high on RPM’s and they turn off…if you are down to 2 second gear + lower RPMs they will stay on until after you turn… there is a very old thread on this subject...
