Indicator Issues
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. |

Re: Indicator Issues
Has bike been out in rain or washed recently ? Many indicator problems can be water in handlebar switchgear or plugs under fuel tank - especially with LED indcators and their lower current draw.

Re: Indicator Issues
It’s been out in rain since the problem started, not washed recently (usually use quick detailer instead).
I’ve got to lift the tank anyway to fit a new air filter, so I’ll check the connections there. Thanks. |
