I recently acquired a K3 SV650S, and it’s developed an indicator problem.

Indicating left or right, all 4 indicators flash. The dashboard repeaters do not extinguish, they just go dim/bright/dim/bright in line with the indicators.

The bike has LED indicators fitted, but they were working before.

I’ve checked a few different things, starting with disconnecting each indicator to try and isolate the problem - even with all 4 indicators disconnected the problem still occurs.

My guess is that it’s switchgear related, but I thought I’d best ask here first. I did do a search but none of the indicator problems I’ve seen listed match what I need to fix.

I have seen that the bikes can be susceptible to earth faults, is there a particular bit of the loom known for wearing through and shorting out?

Thanks in advance.
